Where: There (corporate letter soup stadium) When: Saturday July 31, 2021 @ 7:30PM EDT/4:30PM PDT Why: Futbol is Life Injuries: OUT - Robertha, Flores, Hines-ike, Adrian Perez ; QUESTIONABLE: Birnbaum, Canouse International Duty: Arriola, Pines Who: Whoever's left.
Wow, the attention this match is getting on the board is overwhelming. No Robertha and no Perez. Kamara is ?. So the forward choices are Yow, Bolivar and Sorga if Kamara can't go. No Canouse as well. I would line up Felipe on Acosta and have him hack the guy all over the pitch, that will get Lucho off his game big time. Have no idea where the goals, if any, will come from.
Just Sorga probably b/c Kamara won't play, at least I read that somewhere. No citation here, so take it for what it is. Sorga over Bolivar b/c he will run very hard and that's a good trait for a road game. Where will the goals come from? I'm gonna predict Sorga gets one today. I don't know if that's enough to win, but should be enough for a point, I hope.
certainly if there's any team that would know how to push Lucho's buttons it is us Is Paredes OK? He limped off in the last match. Maybe put Birnbaum up front?

Birnbaum starting in the middle of the back three. I'm hoping he looks the part, that would be a big help.

United (@dcunited) July 31, 2021 Kind of hard to believe he’s never had a preseason training regimen and diet (that worked) unless he’s just more comfortable with Nico’s. Then again, maybe he’s not really been in a situation with Spanish speaking coaches leading his programs. Thx, Jay!
