Back to the sky blue/white.

It would be incredibly disappointing to lose this one now. I think we all generally excused the loss in Kansas City, but the deck is completely stacked in our favor this time. #roadwarriors. Let's grab a 2-0 or 3-1 win and take momentum into Jersey, in what will surely be chippy and physical.

What's the word on Drogba? Is he going to that charity match, even though he won't play?

Reports are that he'll be available and ready to go on Sunday.

Oh shit, forgot about his return. Well, shut him down and we probably win this one. I'm a little afraid of a repeat of the RSL game now though when Yura pushed Hernandez around.

Our midfield will need to dominate in the middle to control this game. They still have Drogba and Oduro, but their linkup play is a bit broken now.

With their spine missing, we need to control the middle, break through for a couple goals and steal the 3 points.

I'd rather play a Montreal with Drogba and Oduro than a Montreal with Ciman and Piatti.

I wouldn't want to live my whole life in Simon Borg's world, but it might be fun to spend a couple of weeks there.

I didn't know how much of a hero he was until we were left with only Doyle tryin to play the lone MLS straight/smart guy. I long for the days of Simon. He was the wine and the roses.

Making up for Spain's lack of colonial aspirations in the great white north.

Lineup? Back to basics?

--McNamara--Villa--Harrison----
--------Lampard--Pirlo-------------
---------------Iraola-----------------
--Mata--Mena--Brillant--Allen---

I'm not going to bother even typing a goalkeeper.

Or the more interesting, attacking lineup...

--------Mata--Villa--Harrison-----
--------Lampard--Pirlo-------------

--?????--Mena--Brillant--Allen---
