hahaha! No surprises in the starting 11. Curious to see what Ricketts can bring to this team. Saw him in Galaxy Deportivo today and he is HUGE.
Wow, we haven't given up a goal yet. US Cup/MLS Cup Double here we come! AJ Delagarza is at Right Back based on opening comments and early commentary. I think he'll be the steal of the 2009 draft.

It's possible that Franklin is playing on the left (he did that a few times last year) in an attempt to put AJ in his more comfortable position. Of course they just said Nyarko attacked up the right and was defended by AJ. That implies to me that AJ is in fact on the left side of our defense. I just tuned in, nice to hear Tudela scored. How was the goal described? Poor marking? Did Landon deliver the cross?
Landon's corner kick apparently ended up going off Tudela into the goal. My bad on whether AJ is on the L or R, I'm buzzed on some good wine.
