I am thinking of my favorite bible quote
"And the rain shall fall as wine" Drunkidivis 3:12
You think Kreis really has a game plan for Orlando? The only different tactics I have seen from Kreis and the rest of the coaching staff was when we played Toronto on the road. All we did was foul Giovinco.
City Beats will perform Latin themed music during halftime in honor of Latin American Hertiage Day.
Would love to see a midfield of poku, Calle, mix and pirlo for this game. Haha
Might as well play Pirlo in the hole before Lamlard shows up and see what happens. If we get abused, then we need to go 4-2-3-1. If we don't, well we can play a diamond
I think Kreis said "I understand that he's still considered one of the best midfielders in the world, but I think fans will be pleasantly surprised at how well a Ballouchy, Jacobsen, Poku, McNamara midfield will play together."
You don't think he would be in touch by phone or email? I'm sure he would've been out of contact for most of the tournament, but they lost Wednesday. From that point on, if I were Kreis - damn, just found the flaw in my own logic.
Here's hoping:
------Villa------Mullins------
------------TMac--------------
--Mix------------------Ballouchy--
----------PIRLO---------------
Angelino-Facey-Mena-Iraola
------------Saunders-----------
We need to slow our roll a bit here.
Yes, it's Andrea Pirlo we're talking about, but it's also an Andrea Pirlo that's been on his offseason, has been on vacation, and has essentially just had three training sessions (which were mostly individual sessions). I'd love it if Pirlo can start, and I'm sure he keeps himself in great shape, but don't you think it might be a bit much to ask for 90 minutes (or even 60-70) in a competitive match from him just a few days after onky beginning his preparation for a new season?

I actually agree with you and would be very happy to see him coming off the bench.
If I were Kreis I would have had an assistant coach in Philadelphia yesterday with a limo. The two hour car ride home would have been plenty to go over film and strategy and have Mix up to speed for today's game.
Start MIX!!!!
Exactly. I actually think that it would be reckless to start him today. Unless he has been training at his top level since the CL final, the risk of picking up a nagging injury like a hamstring is too high. That being said, if he is ready to play, i'll be happy to see him in the 2nd half!
