    Unfortunately yes.
    We now see the impact of that other football club.
    Their home opener is on the Thursday and require an extra day to prepare the pitch!

    Do they have a mandatory rest period after the event? or is it right back to work after they are out?

    Don't see bradley playing Saturday regardless but Tuesday would be an option for him.

    They're released as soon as they're out.

    Yeah it sucks for me too. Tuesday nights are no good for me. Wednesday would have been great. Oh well.

    So if the USMNT does not beat Argentina, the 3rd place game on the weekend is in Arizona. Not quite as far to travel to Vancouver as NJ.

    Someone at the TFC photo department has a sense of humour. Well played.

    I expect them to play some of the young players they played against Montreal.

    I have heard a few TFC2 players will be short term callups for tonights game. Wesley Charpie, Raheem Edwards and Brian James. Not exactly sure what the roster makeup will be but with such a short turn around after the game Saturday I would fully expect some youngsters to play.

    I do expect to see some squad rotation but I also expect us to prioritize this match, we need to come out and get a lead.

    Voyageurs cup is something that have put a large emphasis on this season so I would be shocked if we didn't see many mostly starters (johnson not starting saturday was likely to keep him 100% fresh for this game).

    My expected 11:

    Irwin
    Beitashour - Hagglund - Perquis - Morgan
    Lovitz - Johnson - Osorio - Babouli
    Hamilton - Gio

    It's kind of too bad that Cheyrou played on Saturday. I think he was critical to the youngsters play against Montreal. He adds such a level of calm to the midfield, I'm not sure if Johnson will have as positive an effect.

    It will be interesting to see for sure. I just wonder with only two days between games and an upcoming road game match how Greg does handle the player rotation.

    I'm sure he would have loved to have Cheyrou available but i don't see it happening on 2 days rest. If we go with a full B lineup at some point over this trip i would expect it to be in Orlando.

    It appears you have some sight into the front office of the team so you must know the desire they have to get back into Champions League.

    I expect we play a 4-2-3-1 because we'll rest Cheyrou but I still think Vanney needs to put out a strong lineup to get the result at home.

    Play your best lineup to win this game by 2+. Winning the Canadian Championship and losing to Orlando on Saturday would be fantastic with me. All you are losing is a road game which you likely wouldn't win anyway, I don't know why we would sacrifice the Canadian Championship for that

    I totally know the desire they have for making it back to Champions League, its huge in Bill Manning's eyes, its important for this team to play big games and it does help with future growth. With limited roster sizes in this league I really hope with only two days between games does not come back to bite them in the ass. I would think Greg has already has in mind his expectations for each player and when he may make changes throughout the game.

    Could see it on sat, like clock work he got Endoh and Hamilton out of the game as well as not starting Babouli and Johnson... I forgot about Endoh, i should probably adjust my projected starting lineup.

    I agree, I just got a little curious about the approach when I heard about some of these TFC2 short term callups.

    I admit, I forgot there was a game tonight.
    I'm not used to having games within a few days of each other.
    Plus it's a Tuesday, which just seems strange.
    Good thing I didn't go making plans already!

    FWIW




    Doubtful we see that back line.

    VCWC has a lot of speed. Endoh would be useful

    Will Johnson's coming off a knock; maybe we'll see Cheyrou tonight and Johnson on the weekend.

    Be nice to see Edwards up top with Gio even if they're the same type of mazy player. I think that kid is going places. His third gear and tight control is quite something.

    I hope Gio starts. A big home win to take back to Van would be massive

    I hope we can get 45 mins out of Cheyrou. He's been immense ever since we lost Bradley to Copa America. Hope to see a strong lineup. Keeping a clean sheet is vital.
