So now I feel like a real life MLS coach and am thinking the USOC a diversion and distraction. I had Kamara, Dempsey and Martins on my team last week. Knew I'd have to switch out Kamara this week for his bye, but hey, I have one other fre transfer to burn. Then Martins gets hurt and Dempsey commits a suspensionable offense in USOC play. If all 3 can't play I've tied up about 10% of my tema budget on someone who can't play, or forfeit 4 points for an extra transfer.
Plus there's no timeline on Dempsey getting his punishment and I bet the Sounders say nothing about Martins until Saturday so I have to guess. Upside[?] is half the league is probably in the same position given so few options last week.
