This is purely speculation but based on what we have seen so far my guess is Pirlo is being given complete control over how much he plays in these games. There was no reason for him to stay in that game other than him wanting the reps. Once Maxi and some of the others subbed out it wasn't like he was building an understanding with a considerable number of starters. My bet is PV is basically saying tell me how much time you want to get yourself ready. Prilo has stated in the past that it's normal for him to play every 3-4 days so do think it's possible we see him for a decent chunk of time on Wednesday.
So, we have Villa suspended for a game against Colorado.
You know what that means...
A 5-1 victory with a hat trick from a central midfielder!

Wait, so this fcking VAR is only going to be used in the second half of the season?!? Meaning games will be called differently the first 17 versus the second 17, because we all know there are now going to be a ton more red cards second half if the ref has to stop and review. That's crap to change the implementation halfway through - either entire season or not at all.Villa's VAR send-off
New York City FC is out in Tuscon, Arizona for the 2017 Desert Diamond Cup, one of the places MLS is testing out video assistant referees (VAR) in-game during the preseason, and reigning MLS MVP David Villa ended up on the receiving end of one of the first ejections issued by formal review.
After scoring a goal earlier in the match, Villa was battling with Houston Dynamo center back A.J. DeLaGarza when he struck the defender in the face. The act initially earned a yellow card before the formal review led to a red card for violent conduct against an opponent. Villa will serve a one-game suspension in NYCFC’s next match, against the Colorado Rapids on February 22, and be available for the match on February 25.
If all goes as it should, the VAR test this preseason is set to extend, with live, in-game implementation during the second half of the 2017 regular-season slate. When even the reigning MVP isn't spared during a preseason game, it's safe to say that technology plays no favorites.

Maybe they mean they'll only use it in the 2nd half of each match all season long

Doesn't make much sense to me. They have 3 full days of training in. Maxi started with only 2. Herrera is coming off a tournament. He's in form. Not sure about ring. Maybe not start them but they should play. Unless this is another backup thing.Doesn't sound like we'll be seeing Ring or Herrera (and perhaps Wallace) tomorrow per the Vieira video they just posted.
Unless this is another backup thing.
Need to see starters for the first half of each game. Or if you want to challenge the backups/trialists then play them against the other teams starters. We've been last to drop a lineup so you know if Colorado is fielding starters. Play the backups against them and put our guys in against their subs in second half.At this rate, our backups / cup squad will have more cohesion than our starters. Add to that the fact that we'll start the season away at a full capacity brand new stadium, and I'm a bit worried about us getting off on the right foot. Then we bring that back for 3 straight home games (not to mention playing DC twice in the first 4). I hope and I think that we will see a solid mix of starters over the next two games. If he rolls out the RB lineup again I might just turn it off.
Well if you need things to do in Tuscon I hear Biosphere 2 is nice.Well, I got here after a 2 hour drive with the family and there were two different teams warming up.
When I checked the team website last week, it was an 11am MT kickoff. When the fuck did that change?

Hasn't it always been a 7pm est/5pm mtn kickoff?I had this on my calendar for a 1:30 PM EST kickoff.
All the games archived? I won't be able to watch tonight at 7.
