"... Defender Jason Hernandez tweaked the same calf he injured back in January while with the U.S. national team. ... The center of defense has undergone some shuffling as well with Ryan Cochrane nursing an ankle injury of his own. That means Kelly Gray and Nick Garcia will likely be paired in the center of defense, much as they have all preseason, although given their performances of late, that isn't necessarily a bad thing as far as Yallop is concerned. ... "Breaking them up right now would pretty foolish on my behalf because they've done well together," said Yallop of Gray and Garcia." http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20090313&content_id=225229&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp
From Ives Twitter... The San Jose Earthquakes have formally announced the acquisition of Simon Elliott
Expected. He's been with them for (almost?) the whole of pre-season. There was thought that he would start at d-mid, but it looks like Corrales might edge him out. We'll see, I guess. I heard that Yallop might start Corrales over Denton at left back, which would mean Elliott would indeed play d-mid.
Everyone, except for possibly Twellman, Badilla, and Castro (who are all officially "Out" this week). Ralston is "Doubtful," so he may not have travelled if his injury didn't improve. (I say "have travelled" because the team has left for San Jose already: http://twitter.com/NERevolution/status/1356898232)
Yup that makes sense - but won't there be one more to get to the allowed 18? Guessing maybe Fernandez or Valentino.
An SSS would help immensely, if they do it right. The Revo are caught in a vicious circle at Gilette. Half the stadium is closed off because not enough people come. Not enough people come because it is a bush league atmosphere with half the stadium closed off.
I mentioned this a while ago, but forgot what responses I got back... I'll be flying into San Jose International around 2 o'clock on Saturday, got a ticket for the game in section 110. Any fellow Rev fans going to be there? Wanna meet up at a local bar before the game, grab a drink, and walk in? PM me if so. RRRREV IT UP
"Ralston left in Boston, won't be available against San Jose tomorrow night." http://twitter.com/kylejmccarthy/status/1362466494
darn I forgot San Ho was a blue team, this wig just makes me look silly now... Do I wear the home blue or away white against this team? Or maybe I should wear red to match the bloody pulp we will be in by the end of this. Go Rookie Revs! RRRREV IT UP
I say the Revs try: Dube Mansally - - - - - - Videira - - - - - - - Nyassi Joseph - - - - - Larentowicz Tierney - - - Barnes - - Heaps - - - Alston Reis Not very inspiring. EDIT: just saw bwidell already posted the same lineup haha.
first off, by quoting you I just learned that BigSoccer has justification tags, sweet! Secondly, as soon as midnight hit, all my pessimism vanished. I got my money on the rookies surprising us all. They are all little parkhurst clones and will step right in and take the starting roles. Ralston better step aside, cause here comes Videira! See, yall look at that lineup and think "inexperienced" I'm looking at it as "unpredictable", which is something this team lacked allot of since Dempsey flew off (actually i know what your thinking and you have a point, we did have Khano...). I say we win out first few matches, then we get Twellman and Ralston back, and its back to the good ol days of "give it to the little whinny boy" which every team has learned to play against these past few years. GO UNPREDICTABLE REVS! RRRREV IT UP
Hurray, Hurray, it's opening day. It's time to stow the snow shovel away Time to kick a ball and run around MLS Soccer is coming to town. The Revs are soon to play a match The pundits and fans are poised to watch We want footy instead of Scotch I'm so happy to have soccer to watch. So------ SCREAM YOUR HEADS OFF FOR THE REVS GO REVS
