DISCO gave Rooney an extra game and took no other action after Week 25.

The implication is that DISCO is done for the week, though I'm wondering because the Rooney game was midweek. But as written, the article implies Matarrita will be out for Vancouver but back for this game.

Even though they gave him a yellow and a red, and he was already on 4 yellows?
Well, that could still be possible and wouldn't be a DISCO result I guess so we can't rule it out. But someone was concerned he could get extra games for the headbutt and at least maybe that's not going to happen.
DISCO doesn’t have anything to do with 2 games for the simultaneous yellow card accumulation and straight red. That’s just automatic.
As to whether Mata gets extra punishment for the head butt, sometimes DISCO waits while a player serves a suspension before making a decision. I would be surprised if he got extra time off. He just knocked Murillo in the chest. It was never going to hurt him, although it may have caused things to escalate.
ETA: That strikes me as rather harsh on Rooney. Yes, it was a red, but is it really worse than the typical red for violent conduct? Note that Rooney is being pulled by a Red Bulls player into the other Red Bulls player. I honestly think he was throwing up his arm to cushion the collision. Now, he is still responsible for his arm and where it goes, but I don’t see why that’s a 2-game suspension.
So, either Ring plays CB with Sweat sliding out to FB - or we have Miller at LB. My bet is on the second option - Miller at LB.
ETA: We will have the same issues when we face Toronto, which worries me a lot more. Don't want such a potentially soft back line against those dudes.

I forgot Haak got called up from the U20s...
I think Miller has experience at CB. I wish the club would ask some of these guys to stay back.
I legit thought this was a joke, but good for him.
Assuming Heber and Isi are out, plus Sands, we might have fewer players than we did during the GC.
we also have the second rounder defender that we drafted playing in memphis, the dude is a starter there, and mempis has little hope of playoff spot
Can anyone on this forum play CB or LB? please raise your hand.
When I said I wanted to send Tony Rocha on a trip to Belize, this is NOT what I meant
Could also do this lineup with Sweat and Miller switched.
