They did say on the broadcast that they were using a charter to Seattle

Without Ring makes this a difficult game. If we are also without Maxi, I think it’s pretty much impossible. Happy that we will likely have ITS and/or Berget back, but forwards don’t matter if the midfield can’t get them the ball

 

[DeGrozz]

Lineup will be interesting.

Potentially Awuah for Ring, Medina in Maxi's role, with JLew, Berget, and ITS up top.

Let's hope the defense stays stout and the posts remain kind.

So, everyone but Joe Scally and David Villa were in Orlando. Does Sands get some minutes in this one?

 

[Kjbert]

I don't see the downside of running Sands out there on Sunday. This had to be a match they circled in March and said wtf?

Orlando to Seattle is the 3rd longest trip in MLS I think. And they do it 60 hours before kickoff?

One of the more intriguing games we'll have had in a while. Seattle still doesn't entirely impress me, even with their last few wins. Ruidiaz may end up being a pain, but they're not really one for these magical moments because the general quality is lacking. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dome run out a bit of a bunker and counter to try to catch Chad Marshall (lol) in a bad spot.

-----------Berget
Isi--------------------Lewis/Mata
---------Medina(Maxi?)
----Ofori-------Tmac/Sands
Sweat-----------------Tinny
-----Callens---Chanot
-----------SJ

I wouldn't worryt too much about tired legs. We just went 3-0-0 in 8 days. 2 in 4 after 12 days rest means we should be Gucci.

Sands probably has more experience on plastic than any other player on the squad. Deputize him for Ring.

I liked this post very much

if Dome's staff reads these threads like they were definitely reading our chat last night, he'll be playing on sunday. LOL

Was thinking the same thing.

Hitting the road for Seattle! Did I forget anything?

I hope the supporter groups are planning a pineapple TIFO for the RB game. Like a Bull trying to ram a wall of Pineapples.

Facts. Well played.

I’d imagine if Maxi was actually hurt, he would have flown home to NYC instead of going to Seattle with everyone

probably hurt enough that he needed to come off.
Also, love how he's playing mario kart on his switch. xD

1) These guys are sitting in Main Cabin seats? What the f?

2) It appears that Awuah is starting on Sunday

Why does it appear that Awuah is starting?

It’s not like he’s outgrown it.
