Calle, Ballouchy and Velasquez all in contention for starting in this one.

 

[Nicholas Constantino]

Perfect chance for a few players that were challenging for starting spots to show why they should be starters, or show why they shouldn't be.

Scary times for Williams. With him and Facey out, my guess is Brovsky slides to RB, Wingert at LB and Kwame (who did a good job in limited minutes at colorado) starts. Thoughts?

No guarantee he is out right?

Having suffered from a less severe but related alignment, I would be shocked if he played this weekend.

How are tickets selling?

* Goes to Ticketmaster.com *

Eh, a couple of sections left open. The marketing/sales team needs to get on this.

 

[AndreT_NY]

Have fun guys. I am transferring my ticket as I will be out of town. Watching on the DVR late Sunday night.
CTID.

Based on SKC's first 3 matches and the players they lost to the international call-ups, I'm guessing this is the SKC starting XI this Saturday:

4-3-3 formation

--------------------Marin----------------
---Anibaba---Opara---Besler---Dia---
---Nagamura---Feilhaber----Nemeth---
---Medranda-----Dwyer------Zusi---


I think De Jong would have started instead of Dia at LB and Espinoza instead of Nemeth at LM. Both are on international duty.

I think that will be very close to the team JK chooses Magnus. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing Poku in the midfield to give us more energy. For me we are lacking some drive from midfield at the moment, but I guess JK will continue with the tried and trusted players.

From his actions and comments, he seems to like to get guys in for a few games in a sub role before starting them. I think Calle is due for a start. If he is going to go with Poku I would expect to see a few sub appearances for him first

Yes I think your right there.

It's nice for us all to try and predict the team, but I have a feeling it won't change much in the first 10 games or so. I can understand why JK is going with experience though.

206 with 3 seats looking for a fourth

I have the parking validation for the entire season also willing to sell it

What I get from that is that Kreis didn't actually think Facey was ready for the start before his hand was forced.

I see the same line up and I completetly agree with the final comment. In the post game interview with Yes, Kreis referenced lack of energy. Velasquez has brought the energy, but his defense is his weakness. Ballouchy is strong defensively but doesn't energize the attack.

 

[BlueCityRadio]

Substitutions coming in I see Mendoza because someone in the back line will get a yellow, Tony Taylor on for Mullins and Poku.

Is there some sort of BLACKOUT happening? Should be easy for me to wear a black jacket - it's gonna be cold ...lesson learned form last time ...

Williams is out for fear of blood clots. That's why Facey started against Colorado.

Wow. So Williams AND Meara being injured were BORTH falsely reported.

Great to hear!
