Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. ... ... ... BUT MORE(ER) MATCH NEWS: I just received confirmation from the #MLS league office that a decision regarding Marco Fabian will be included in this week's DisCo release. No official word on if it's a fine or suspension. #DOOP— Joe Tansey (@JTansey90) March 21, 2019 It looks like Marco Fabian may miss this match, too. That Union lineup is looking puh-ritty thin.
Philly will miss Burke, Blake, Real, Creaville, and Jones through international callups. Fabian might be gone. Lineup will be weakened, but not terribly different from their normal lineup: Backup GK; Gaddis, McKennie, Trusty, Fabinho; Medjunanin (sp?), Bedoya, Ilsinho, Aaronson; Picault, Accam. Changes at GK, CAM, and ST.
Union might have to send down one of their International players to Bethlehem to make room for a new signing. https://www.prosoccerusa.com/mls/ph...difficult-lineup-choices-with-depleted-squad/
Forecast for Chester, PA doesn't look too bad. Supposed to rain today with high winds. Windy, but dry, during the day tomorrow. But by game time tomorrow the winds are supposed to die down, with temps in the mid to low 40s.
I would have been tempted by the MANtos option had it been one goal. But TWO? Ehhh.... I'll take our backup keeper over theirs. Looking forward to seeing Mullins/JJ. I will make the assumption that Clark is in for Trapp, Robby for Meram, and our swiss army knife at LB.
Galaxy Quest. Now back to that soccer game in suburban Philly on Saturday: they're missing as much as we are. I still like our chances.
So television. DirectTV here. Crew looks like to be on FSOH. My dad is seeing that Cincy is on that channel for him. He has Spectrum. We will see at 7 if Crew are on anything for him. I can just imagine how annoyed he is right now. Waiting for the follow up call or text. Also, hoping to see a @hangthadj sighting on the broadcast!
