Leapfrogging Orlando and giving them a better draft pick is the dumbest thing ever.
With Poku, Mix and Pirlo all possible to miss this, TMac has to play.Plus TMac seems to be in trouble of some sort with Kreis so who knows if he even dresses.

The US/Costa Rica friendly is at RBNJ Arena, and Ghana/Canada is in DC, so (although I am not sure where they are practicing) neither Mix nor Poku are traveling very far. I haven't seen anything on Pirlo since that initial ESPN report about the hamstring injury but Conte said he hoped Pirlo would be back for the Norway qualifier on 10/13 (same date as the two friendlies). Not sure I would rule all three out
They took a nasty nasty collision in the 11th minute of that game. Have you ever seen two teammates accidently injure each other so bad in the beginning of a game?Sounds like both CB's Raphael Ramos and Tommy Redding for Orlando due to concussion issues.

I really hope our team wins the game on Friday. I like rooting for our team to win.Leapfrogging Orlando and giving them a better draft pick is the dumbest thing ever.

On a related note, if we really want our team to have a better draft spot, should none of us show up to the last game of the season? Or should we show up but be quiet the whole time? The players have all mentioned how they feed off our energy and it helps them through the game, so if we want a better draft pick, maybe we should all be quiet during the game
Please don't group me in with those referring to themselves as "ultras", I definitely don't wanna be in that group, lol.Don't go all "ultra" on us. We're in a situation where the sword has two very sharp edges. We win this game and we have a chance at finishing higher than OCSC in our expansion season. That's a great way to finish IF we had done so several points ahead of them. Even if we beat them, we'd still have to win our last game as well and they'd have to lose theirs in order for us to pass them. They are 4 points ahead. So chasing that is a very stupid kind of prideful. We finish above them by slim chance but they get a high draft pick.
I hate to lose and I've said before that we should always play to win. Now, I look at the standings and say, what is the better play here? Ultimately, it will come down to the club and what they want to do but I think it's a bit foolish to finish above Orlando just to say we did. That's such a small token in the long term. It's literally, "We were the better losers in this first season."
