No one suggested they are a League 2 team. They are going to rotate, as well, and since we are at home, the lineup above is more than enough.
Given the thinness at the back, it wouldn't be the worst thing to have fewer games. But, ya I will be heartbroken if we lose into the first round.
We all know what Herm Edwards has to say about it, but I won't be too broken up if we lose. We have bigger fish to fry. Is that ridiculous for me to say?

If you have beIN you can watch it live on their website. Quality seems pretty decent, and it works on desktop and mobile. http://www.beinsportsconnect.tv
Unfortunately, if you have Comcast, you're screwed; they're not listed as a provider on BeIN Connect's logon page. They're not yet offering the streaming service to commercial customers either. That's Fox Soccer-level incompetence.
Koeman was quoted as saying he would play his starters, and by the looks of it, he has done just that. It will be an interesting test for some of the young players.
