D.C. United have nothing on social media or their website about this match. Hopefully the team/players care about this game as much as the front office/digital team.

I am sure after their crazy comeback against Philly, DC's players will be pumped for the next round. They had both Rooney and Acosta go 120 minutes and played pretty close to a regular starting lineup.

Not sure who we get back. Not Callens or Johnson or Matarrita. Not Sands. Probably not Ofori. Maybe Chanot? Maybe Sweat? Ring?
 
Game will probably be on the 19th, but DC can move it anywhere from the 18th (Tuesday) to 23rd (Sunday). We don't have a game until the 29th, so we can't block them.

I'd really appreciate a Friday/Saturday game, so I could more than likely attend.

And think D.C./USSF will certainly want a date to maximize ticket sales.

DC has a game on the 26th and the field has an East-West orientation so they have to start when the sun is down (enough) and cant overlap with the USA GC game on the 18th so its very likely to be the 19th.
 
Ring will be healthy. They thought Sweat would be able to play last night so he should be healthy. I prefer him at LCB instead of Tinnerholm.

Stuver
Tinnerholm Ibeagha Sweat Rocha?
Ring Haak
Parks
Isi Heber Maxi

How about that?

NYCFC doesn't have a match till 6/29 & Audi is a grass field, so anyone who is around and can play should be available.

Chanot, Luxembourg lost to Ukraine 6/10. They are done till September, we should have him back.

Callens, Venuzeula has Copa America 6/15, 6/18, & 6/22 at the least. He's out.
Johnson, Gold Cup matches 6/18, 6/22, & 6/26 at the least. He's out.
Ofori, ACON matches 6/25, 6/29, & 7/2, at the least. He's out.
Mata, Gold Cup matches 6/16, 6/20, 6/24 at the least. He's out.

So...

Mitri Heber Isi
Maxi Parks
Ring
Sweat Seba Chanot Tin
Stuver

Let's play to win!

Oh damn, you beat me by a 1 second. Maybe I should just go DictatorLionMOD and just remove your post from existence so it looks like I posted first...
