JLew playing RWB or RM which ever you categorize it as is a terrible spot for him to try to show off his skills and earn his way back. If we play a 3-5-2 either start Lewis up top or leave him on the bench, I'd rather see the kid get spot sub appearances at the end of games in an attacking role that suits his skill set than thrown out tonight as a force fit into a role that's practically set up for him to fail by exposing his weaknesses and limiting his chances to show off his attacking skills.

Such is the nature of the U.S. Open Cup on the eve of the World Cup - leaving us with barely enough outfield players to form a team.
Yup. Mata and Wallace both have green cards. Wallace would have started in this game on the LW. Lewis on the RW.
I might agree if we had no other options but the force fit isn't necessary in this case with SAS on the roster.
I get it, but I'd like to get Lewis a start for this one, and don't know where else you put him. Maybe that's another thing recommending a 4-3-3.
I'm sure PV has thought about everything smart everyone said, and I'm sure he's gonna do none of it.
I think the most stressful day of the year is waiting to see how badly we're going to screw up the starting lineup for the US Open Cup game.
Scally is with the team, they just showed the bus arriving, and he is there. Haven't seen Maxi, Berget, Callens or Isi, although that might not be definitive because the videographer walked with the players instead of staying and filming everyone get off the bus. But Villa and Maxi are usually attached at the hip when riding the bus, so I have to imagine he didn't travel
If US Soccer could make us click through two or three more menus to get to the USOC streaming content that would be great.
Vieira is gonna leave MLS having never won a meaningful knockout match.... that about sums up his run with us.
Is it bad I almost want to lose to Atlanta Saturday as a goodbye FU?
Well, if they weren't already, our records both in the USOC and against RBNJ are officially embarrassing.
Cheers, Geoff.
He did start Lewis. And he handicapped his best asset by starting a single attacking mid who can only play the ball backwards or lose it.
That’s it. That’s all U3 can do. Nothing, and I do mean muthafookin’ nuthin’, else he can do. Useless. Utterly, irredeemably useless.
