    That's right, we're all in pleasant shock after the CCL win, and forgot there's another game this week to chat about. On national television (NBCSN) and everything! How about a nice cross country trip for the squad, then?

    I think we all were waiting for what crazy ass Philly based lineup El Psycho would come up with

    I think we see a few changes, but not too many from Tuesday night.
    [​IMG]
    Bench: Reynish, Olave(?), Mansally(?), Javi, Grabs, Paulo, Braun
    • With Sabo, Espy, and KB all going less than 90, they could hypothetically be able to go in this one
    • I think you put Javi on the bench to get him some rest after the beating he took between the Tauro and Dallas game (have him as your first sub, though)
    • Not sure who will end up making the bench. If I remember right, I heard both Olave and Schuler were taking physical tests this past week.
    • Grabs needs a rest.
    • PJ should come on no matter what, just depends on the game situation as to who he should come on for

    The real question here:
    "Is Philly bad enough to lose to RSL?"

    Any road match is a tough match in MLS and with our recent form I would be happy with a draw.
    Crasy ass line-up is still likely on the way.

    You're talking about the same team that gave TFC their first win of the season.

    And it's not like PPL Park is the "fortress" it was last year.

    Oh, and the "new coach bump" seems to have subsided.

    Advantage RSL.

    Still, I'm looking forward to a summer's evening along the banks of the Delaware.

    Where would be a good place for a watch party with fellow RSL fans? I live in Provo, and have a group of 4 or 5 that want to go to a pub or some sort. The closer the better :)

    In other news, I'm hoping that the bit of momentum built against Tauro will translate into another 3 points tomorrow.

    Of course they do...where else would you go in Provo to get a Mountain Dew?

    Are there even pubs in Provo? Or are they just seltzer bars?

    For the love of god, please don't pair Braun and Sabo together. We don't look good with 2 target strikers out at once, and since Sabo is the better player, Braun winds up looking lost playing in a role he's not comfortable with.

    Reading over on the Philly board, they don't seem too confident about getting the win at home. Hopefully they're right and we can get the road win, but with how we've played the last two months, I'm not so confident. Hopefully it's at least a fairly played match without crappy officiating.

    Yeah, about that last part...the ref is Jair Maruffo.

    Not a fan of Marrufo, but it could be worse. Grant Wahl tweeted out the number of red cards given by each ref this year.

    With our luck and history with Marrufo, we'll be receiving his 4th red card of the season.

    Kyle's not ... oh wait he is playing. Yeah, we might get a red...he has a history with JM.

    Philly's beatable. This is one of our better chances to win a road game.

    I guess I wasn't super clear. We wouldn't mind going somewhere outside of provo for a watch party. We drive up to Sandy every gameday, so this wouldn't be much different. I'm expecting there to be a few in the Salt Lake area, but again, the closer the better. :)

    Kyle has a history with all refs. If he isn't smart enough to come out of Philly without a red card then there is no getting through to him. Dreadlocks must be pretty thick.

    Sometimes I wonder if it's a counter culture thing - akin to police profiling.

    Like all the refs are super square looking to begin with, especially Jair. I don't know which form of hair slick he uses, but it's Pat Riley like.

    The difference in personal grooming is astronomical. It's one thing to be told you suck, but by a 'dirty hippie' who makes about 10 times more than you? No sir! Time to go Federalista on his ass!

    You wouldn't happen to have the same breakdown of refs by penalty kicks awarded, would you? My problem with Marrufo isn't so much the discipline he hands out, but simply the number of incorrect calls he makes, especially in the box.

    I am having trouble remembering a Beckerman red card that was not merited.

    On the positive side: at least KB earns his red cards

    OK, just a little FYI in the humblebrag category: I'm going to be co-hosting the pregame show on AM700 tonight. Doing radio is a long-sought-after dream of mine that is finally coming true, so please listen from 4:45 to 5:30. I'll try not to be the RSL talking head that I am...

    2nd: I thought you were a butt boy, not a talking head
    3rd: Does this mean you are in Philly?
