Their starters aren't very good and we've travelled well this year. Not saying the result is going to go our way but there's definitely reason to be optimistic about this one.Originally Posted by PopePouri

thought we were a bit lucky last week , the game easily could have gone either way . Lacking D without Jackson but will get more effective offense from his replacement .
Bloom will be missed , he is a work horse and good crosser . I look to Oduro to bring on the passes and crosses . the d not so much . please please start Gilberto and give him two or three full games ( if he can take it) ....if we don't soon start Gilberto trade him , where he'll be given a better chance . Still we lose tonight . esp if no Gilberto and we continue Nelson's love for mediocre over performers , who never see Defoe .

Can someone please post a good streaming link?
There should be something at http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?...20&part=sports
Match Day . . .
Caldwell and Bloom out - our "D" replacements will have big shoes to fill.
Another game in hand so if we can't pull off a "W", a point is better than nothing.

Really? we're resting Defoe for a fucking friendly? christ.
Also, I see that Porter put JD in the all-star game roster. Does he have to go? It's such a waste of time for everyone involved.

Hmmmm... Well, to be honest the only real surprise in my mind is Defoe not starting.

The first time I ever seen Expedia mentioned on the boards was by Ivy today on this thread.

I some time think Nelsen reads the boards and he is going to try to end the discussion about Gilberto.
He needs 2 assists and/or a goal tonight.. if he comes up with nothing then the boards will go nuts against him. I still think he should have 12 starts... this will be game 13 start 9
For a friendly vs Spurs B team. Most of WC players not back for Spurs yet (vs Seattle)
Years have gone by and Ive finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: A pretty move, for the love of God.
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

Yikes Morgan is the only defender on the bench. And no one on the field except maybe Warner can cover those positions. Reminds me a little of when SKC had to throw J Peterson at RB.
Surprised but I see the logic.
Personally I'd rather have a rested Defoe for SKC. (the friendly is a lark and nobody is considering those minutes anything to be rested for)
If there is a defence that we don't need Defoe for, its this one.
Time for Gilberto to step up.

The MLS site has Oduro up front with him. If he happens to bag a goal, the optics for Gilberto aren't gonna look good. But you know what? I think we're gonna see a good game tonight. Gilberto may just surprise us (and Houston).

I'm not surprised or really that disappointed that Jermain is on the bench. He seemed a bit fatigued second half vs Vancouver. This way he can get some rest and come off the bench as his explosive self if need be.
maybe Defoe is slightly injured, if not , they r hanging Gilberto out to dry . He, as Moore needs Defoe on the field . Can we at some point baring injuries play our best 11 for once . Call me crazy but I want to see our D tonight . They'll be fine as long as they control themselves . And don't get overly aggressive.

Scratch what I said above. Luke Moore up front with Gilberto.

I think they are going to play Gilberto 60 minutes or so and bring on Defoe if needed. It's 40 celcius humidex right now in Houston. Tough to play full game.
2 minutes in and I have to turn the sound off of the Sportsnet guys. Jabbering away and missing plays.

*sigh*.. he's not exactly going to morph into John Helm anytime soon, is he?
Thank you!
That was unfortunate.

Was just about to say the team looks good.....damn.
eeek... i don't know what that was, but not exactly flattering to either player.
Nice way to gift a goal.
Thats how much we like coming from behind.
Well this is a fine start.
Wow,are you serious? Better ways to get yourself benched Orr.
Team still looks good, unfortunate mix up.
