Careful what you wish for. Rocha is the apparent backup and Mata sprained his toe waking up this morning.


Is there an academy player with a pulse? just wondering... jkjk


edit: that'll teach me to try and be funny..

I am bringing along 5 friends to this game. Hope NYCFC is happy because I just doubled the attendance figures singlehandedly ;) How can I nudge them like "hey hey hey can i get that sweet etihad seat upgrade for bringing alone 5 people wink wink wink wink"

-edit-
It's now become 6 :)

Anyone got a supporter flag they wanna lend us for the game? I sit by the bleachers and we have second row so I'd love to try fanning out a big flag during the game!
...or is it a lot bigger than I'm expecting?
 
Isi didn't attend the Homecoming event. When Lewis showed up late last season, he was in Vieira's doghouse. I don't think Dome has a doghouse. But I want Isi to play.
Didn’t attend following no game minutes.... that’s smoke..... if he doesn’t get minutes Sunday, he’s either in doghouse or he’s being transferred out, or he had personal issues/commitments that the club hasn’t commented on.

Well, only Isi and Haak were not in attendance. Neither was Caldwell, but he's in Memphis now.
 
Beer on me to the first person who provides a legitimate un-doctored weather forecast that doesn't include some sort of precipitation.
 
Any word on subway issues yet? Almost missed kickoff plenty of times due to a 4 train running local.
always anticipate it taking at least 20 mins longer than you expect. Plan to arrive much earlier than you think you need to.

Had many similar travails with the subway system, including missing the start of one of the last games of the season because the D train just sat in the tunnel before 161st for about 15 minutes....
 
Accuweather giving ranging chances of rain all morning and early afternoon 30-60%, but we are straying warmer in the low 50s. I will take weather like this over 25 and dry any day.

Edit: 20% chance of rain after 1pm

I’m not overly optimistic about our chances on Sunday.

That being said, I’m excited to see DCU. The level of play around MLS looks to be noticeably higher than last year - even this early in the season.
 
So I learned on Monday that Dome doesn't go into the first training session of a week with a game plan or practices the tactics against the opponent, he just tells them their positioning and tactics the day of the game.

Vieira came into the first training session of the week with a game plan and used the entire week to teach and go over the positioning and tactics.

You can't be like Dome with MLS guys. They don't have the soccer brains to do that.

I think you meant he doesn’t go into practice with the game plan.

And chalk this up as reason #51 Dome isn’t competent as a manager.
