Away - New England 07/06

[EganSoccerWords]

I think we only need to rest the middle game. I think it's the easier of the two to win and being a conference opponent one we should target.
And you really only need to rest Pirlo/Lampard. I think the rest of the guys can handle it without question.

I am a little concerned about RJ holding up for the entire season and beyond. He always seems to pick up an injury after getting alot of minutes. idk if i want him playing 3 games in a week. would be fine with hernandez or gomez starting at rb for either game.

I think this game should be a key look at who is in Vieira's dog house. If Mix isn't in the 18 again, then there's likely very little chance we see him play again for us. S̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶M̶u̶l̶l̶i̶n̶s̶.̶

Mena seems to be the only guy who's impressed Vieira after being relegated out of the 18 consistently.

Some thoughts on tomorrow's match, and some shameless reliving of this past weekend.

Not disagreeing with the thrust of your post, but Mullins was at least in the 18 Saturday.

He was? Then I retract that part.

Worth noting that tomorrow night's game is being played on turf, not on grass.

Full strength against the Eastern rival. Rests as needed against Western Conference SKC unless there are turf concerns like GG points out.

ashame they couldnt keep the copa grass at least for a couple games.

I don't see the match listed on FSGO. Anyone know what's up with that? As you can tell by my screen name, this one is pretty important to me.

It often doesn't show up until right before game time.

And FWIW the NYCFC.com site does list FSGO as the broadcast option.

If you have MLS Live, it opens up for viewing just after the game and before the delayed broadcast on YES - at least that's the way it worked the last time we had this issue.

pretty impressive that given the age and caliber of our DPs, none have invoked the Thierry Henry I Don't Play on Turf clause

For non broadcast games when we only have FSGO I don't see why MLS Live would be blacked out for you guys.

Well in fairness, when you're as slow as Pirlo, playing on turf is like the cart vendor standing on a wood mat to cushion his stance over the concrete, and the springiness gives Villa some extra hops when he's heading the ball.

Agree. But they do. (Probably because they never accounted for an MLS team not broadcasting a match live locally, even on a secondary channel). Maybe we should write them a letter...

I don't think there were any Copa games in Boston.

Don't think it makes a real difference since you are either streaming on FoxSportsGo or MLS Live - in fact, you are guaranteed to get the NYC stream on the former. The good news is that, at least last time, the MLS Live replay was up immediately after the game. That's good for people like me who can't watch it live and wouldn't be able to DVR. Note that FoxSportsGo does not provide replays the way WatchESPN does.

There were two group stage matches at Foxboro.

MLS live is easy to watch from my Apple TV. For FSG, I'm loading it up on my comp, then airstreaming it to the TV and the resolution & lag sucks. It matters.
