Well, you called that. There wasn't much difference in the starting lineups and we only used on sub in vs. Los Dos.
The Republic will enter the 2nd rd. of U.S. Open Cup on May 14: http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2014/04/24/09/27/140424-usoc-2014-tournament-announcement May 14 - Sacramento Republic (USL) at Ventura County Fusion (PDL), 7 p.m. PT, Ventura College; Ventura, Calif. or May 14 - CD Aguiluchos (NPSL) at Sacramento Republic (USL), 7:30 p.m. PT, Charles C. Hughes Stadium; Sacramento, Calif.
Republic may be playing CF Monterrey for their "Mexican" friendly this summer. My kid's coach knows a few coaches on the Monterrey team, and said they mentioned it.
Cool, Monterrey hasn't been doing well in the Clausura tournament but it would be fun to watch them play against SRFC.
Looks like the game is going to be in Sac now!! SacRepublicFC @SacRepublicFC Follow Official details to be released tomorrow #indomitable fans! "RT @ussoccer: #USOC2014: @SacRepublicFC will now host @VCFusion on May 14."
More likely we paid VC Fusion for the home field advantage, I know that has been an issue with the open cup
That, and a home league game a few days later. They pay for the Fusion to fly up, or to fly the Republic down. Less wear on our guys this way
Preki is suspended from the US Open Cup for 2 games, going back to something in 2009, lol. I wonder how much a difference his presence will make, assuming we can beat Ventura County.

I'm surprised no one has talked about the game vs Rochester yesterday yet? Maybe because it was a Friday game 4:30 our time.. We went on the road and beat them 1-0. Great not only for the result but they are one of the better teams in the league. We broke a 7 game unbeaten streak they had going. Good attack we have going forward and Jakubek actually stepped up with Gleeson out. Full game is on the Rochester Rhinos youtube page for anyone who missed it. Now we are treated to Dayton tomorrow!
I was disappointed too - not even a matchday thread started. Too bad, because beating Rochester away was no small achievement. Maybe the USMNT roster debate is keeping everyone's attention. On to Toledo!
Speaking as an old mod, this board needs a moderator. One of the most important things a mod can do is make sure routine threads are posted on time. It's amazing how much traffic and discussion a mod can generate just by starting threads. Right now, there's nobody on this board to take responsibility for that. I'm not volunteering. My modding days are over. But somebody should step forward.
Agreed, a mod would help. I might be interested in doing it, but not until mid or late July. And, it would depend on what else is involved.
On another note, did anyone else notice on the Dayton game summary, posted on the usl website, that Billy Knutsen was listed in the game-day 18 for Rochester , but not for Dayton? Jakubek was the only GK in the 18 for Dayton. Assuming the USL website's lineup postings for games are accurate, this is be pretty unusual, right? Or, is it common for USL?
Let's do this -- I'll try to post a new thread in a day or two about modding this board. I can give you my view as a former mod, and I know others on this board will chime in too. Maybe we can answer you questions and spark some interest from others too. (That's not a slight against you. I'm just a big believer in having plenty of mods.) But for now we should probably let this thread get back on topic before we upend it. Yeah, that's the old mod in me speaking up ...
