Cheyrou has already missed games and I'm pretty sure Warner held down his spot. Would expect Warner to replace cheyrou, Delgado to replace Warner and Bradley to replace Delgado.
Could see Gomez slotting in for oso in the near future.

Warner-Oso-Delgado-Bradley with Chapman and Mannella on the bench would appear to be the way we go
MATCH DAY!!!!!! COME ON YOU REDS
Game Day
Weather
Partly cloudly 21 all afternoon with light winds from the east - feeling like 25.
whats the scoop on the march?
Like Og mentioned, the weather should be pretty mild (21c) with clouds at kick-off - not too warm and not too cool.
As for our opponent, SKC is sitting in 5th place in the West with 34 points and a record of 9-4-7. TFC is currently 3rd in the East with 31 points and a record of 9-8-4. Kansas City has had some mixed results recently, drawing 1-1 against Houston at home on Aug 1, losing to RSL 2-1 away on Jul 24, and winning 3-1 at home against Houston on Jul 21.
Sporting Kansas City actually did a pretty good job digging up stats on both teams here for the statistic aficionados: Toronto FC v Sporting Kansas City By The Numbers
But as for today's match, I think TFC has a great shot at picking up 3 more points at home. Our offense should be firing well with Gio, Altidore, and Bradley all expected to be on the pitch. Would love to see a shutout, but SKC plays some very strong attack-oriented football.
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
I hope we kick serious ass today.

Is cheyrou out ?
So which of our defenders will be responsible for a stupid play or two resulting in Giovinco having to score a hat trick in order to win? I say Zavaleta today.
Did Perquis come out because he was hurt? Can Cheyrou even play? If not, maybe put Bradley as a 6 and Delgado up top of the diamond?
SKC plays VERY well at home. That said, they draw pretty well on the road. I haven't followed them as much this year because I have been SO busy with work, but we need to be loud like we were on Wednesday from minute 1.
It makes a difference, the best I have heard it put was a player once saying it makes you feel like you have superpowers.

WE DID IT!
really hoping this happens today
According to Larson, Gomez is awaiting a visa, in LA. He hopes to play next Saturday but hasn't been promised anything.
On another note, I fully expect SKC to try to kick Altidore and Giovinco. I despise Vermes for many reasons, that being one of them.
This game will be testy and foul filled and if somebody doesn't get a red card, I will be surprised.
great lineup, we need to keep this lineup strong for the remainder of the season ad really eye the playoffs now, its time to crunch and prepare, start playing the type of soccer you have to now that your going to go into the playoffs with, becuaase if we dont play that way, we wont make the playoffs

1. Who said I dislike the team?
2. I lived in Edmonton for 2 years and was a season ticket holder there.
3. Is my message inaccurate when taken in context of this season?
4. Are supporters only allowed to post positive messages praising TFC?
5. Who are you to tell me what to do?
I love Vermes for that! Gamesmanship!
Now, can our boys keep the ref in their peripheral vision to be sure to take advantage of Vermes' aggressive and physical style with some embellishment, well, that is also Gamesmanship!
All that said, I would ideally like to see strong discipline by the ref at the beginning so there isn't a fight at the end.
XI: Bendik; Morgan, Kantari, Zavaleta, Jackson; Warner, Delgado, Osorio, Bradley; Giovinco, Altidore.
Bench: Konopka, Hagglund, Morrow, Chapman, Lovitz, Mannella, Findley.
Didn't expect Morgan to take Morrow's spot. Besides that, pretty much expected.
SKC XI: Melia; Myers, Ellis, Besler, Medranda; Mustivar, Nagamura, Feilhaber; Zusi, Nemeth, Peterson
Jimmy Medranda starting at LB for Sporting. He has 4 appearances this year, at right mid, right wing, and left wing. We should have Jackson attacking him as much as possible down the right.
Last year who would've thought Morgan would beat out Morrow for a starting spot. Can't say he doesn't deserve it either.
Ok TFC don't let any goals in the first 15 mins!!!
@soccerpro - where u at commonwealth stadium when TFC played EDMFC in the canadian championship?
