Any word on tv or radio? DC United's website has nothing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Radio and TV!!!!

Stop it, you're killing me!

And here I was worried about the field having lights dimmer than the dome light in my truck...

Okay, RADIO then. Maybe?

I'd like to see Tony Limarzi out there yelling in his usual frenzy. I LOVE his enthusiasm.

Tony, if you're lurking, you can get a ride up in my truck. You know, the one with the dim dome light...

[Mighty!]

will we be playing our usual starters? or just the reserves?

[Colonial717]

I would like to see:

--Moreno-------Addlery-----
------Dyachenko-----------
Moose----------------DeRoux
---------Simms---------------
Gros--Vanny---Boz----McTavish
----------Nolly-----------------

Sub in Mediate at the half for Moreno. Move Dyachenko up and Moose into A-Mid. Go with the starters in the back so they can get more time together. I haven't liked what I have seen in Nolly so far this season (I haven't been to any reserve games though) but we should throw him in to see if he will be a serviceable backup for the future.

But I have no idea who will actually be starting.

I would start as many subs as possible: 11, 23, 56743: however many it takes. This is the equvilent of a reserve game. Thus a guy like Jaime, who will start vs Dallas, will be on the bench:

---------------Nolly!!!!!!---------------------
---Burch----Vanney---Boswell---Carroll
--------------Simms
-Mediate---------------DeRoux
--------------Moose
---Dyashenko-----------Addlery

I have no idea who should play or how the reserves lineup in the back. DCU should make the reserve games more accessable to me by staging them down the street here. :)

[BigKris]

Dan Loney on his blog points out that DC has won MLS cup every year that they've lost to a lower-division team in the US Open Cup.

Say it with me now: LET'S GO HARRISBURG!!!

Don't forget Brad North and Mira Mupier (forwards) and Jeff Carroll (d-mid). Or is Jeff the "Carroll" you have at left back?

[Sundevil9]

With Goff blogging that Namoff won't make the trip, and is still not training with the team, maybe this is a good opportunity to look ahead and prepare for Dallas.

Start the same defense that started against Houston:

Gros-Boz-Vanney-McTavish.

Unless some need the day off, it couldn't hurt to try to speed up the 'gelling' process.
