I'm coming to the belief that 7-0 had something to do with not resting our CBs through that four game stretch (or ever). I'm all for consistency with the CBs, but heavy legs kill you. Need to play subs for cosmos. If they can't neat a nasl team, then cut them.

I've watched the Turkey Bowl there, Fordham Prep v Xavier High School. College football field, seats 7K, all seats on one side, FieldTurf surface replaced grass in 2005 so not the newest surface out there.
They better take down the god damn field goal posts.
No way. Every time Pirlo goes high on a free kick, that's 3 points for us!
Who are the players that refuse to play on turf? I thought I read that Villa refuses to play on artificial fields.

So if Pirlo passes an aerial ball to another player who catches it with their foot beyond the endline without the ball touching the ground, is that 6 points?
No, 15yrd penalty of unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting
Villa has already played multiple games this year on turf. Portland and Vancouver both play on turf. Later this season, Orlando, Revs, Sounders, Impact all play on turf.
All those turfs make Hofstra turf seem prehistorical. That's why there's no way he was playing on the knee trap.
Actually, I am not sure Alvarez is the guy to be holding someone's drink either.
I am all for playing a B-team. We have a lot more depth than last year, and we should be able to beat these guys without our starters. Heck, we were bossing them last season until Kreis took out Poku and Kwame shit the bed.
Maybe Coach V will want to put a few starters in for a half to shake off the rust, but there is no need to risk injuries and tiredness given we have a game 3 days later.
Harrison - Mullins - Taylor
Poku - Lopez - Ballouchy
Martinez - Mena - White - Gomez
Johansen
EDITED to place Harrison in for Mendoza

Here is a more interesting way to look at things.
Excluding goalkeepers, we have 24 field players on the roster. Brandt and Bravo are out with injuries. Lopez' situation is unclear. That leaves 21-22 field players to fill 16 field player spots among the starters and reserves.
Accordingly, we cannot populate the full 18 without including at least 4-5 guys who normally start. Who should those players be?
I would pick Brillant, Lopez, Mix, Shelton and Lampard

Why bother predicting the line-up? Vieira gonna Vieira. It's in the hands of La Grande Saucisse.
