U.S. Cup Round 5

I'm still alive, I imagine Lone Star is still alive... anyone else?

I'm expecting a thumping if my opponent takes me seriously. On top of that, TS is down a bit after MOTSing the league match this weekend, I have to PIC, and my second-best middie is out injured. Still, it's been a nice run.

I'll post the lineup here when we near gametime, so as not to disclose tactics.

 

The enigmatic Henning Bergmann announced his starting lineup for BBFC - Steel City Sols:

[3] Dallas GOINS (USA)
[4] Jacob CARMICHAEL (USA)
[5] Demetrius RAMIREZ (USA)
[6] Evan DRISCOLL (USA)
[8] Twan LOUWINGER (BEL)
[12] Lenny HARDMAN (USA)
[13] Carp ATOMEI (ROM)
[15] Brandon WHIPPLE (USA)
[16] Pablo ALBA (VEN)
[20] Floyd SCOTT (USA)
[21] Jonathan ZUIDEMA (NED)

Zuidema - Whipple, Goins, Carmichael - Driscoll, Louwinger, Scott, Alba, Hardman - Ramirez, Atomei

Substitutes:
[1] Huang KIEN (USA) (K)
[2] Guillaume POLETTE (SCH) (W)
[7] Anthony MCDOWELL (USA) (M)
[14] Thierry JAPHET (USA) (F)
[18] Avery MONTALVO (USA) (D)

Scratches:
[9] Shuo SHOU-FENG (USA)
[10] Brad COURTNEY (USA) (injured)
[11] Korey JEFFERSON (USA)
[17] Jeesus ALKULA (SUO)
[19] Liviu POPESCU (ROM)
[24] Benjamin WESTON (USA)
[25] Bill PEMBERTON (USA)

The match marks Lenny Hardman's debut in the blue and green. Bergmann has indicated that the club will be playing at a slower pace and pressing. (Don't ask me how they're going to pull that off, but apparently Bergmann is pretty talented. )
