Bravo is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Who can we expect to see in that CDM role to support Pirlo?
I would imagine Mix will have to start this game. If he doesn't then fuck it
Man oh man we are going in to the hornet's next.
Portland is Soccer City, USA.

With bravo out for this game, I'm pretty sure mix is going to fill the void. Hopefully we still keep Pirlo higher up the pitch so he doesn't have to adjust to being moved again.
Game 3 of my ongoing previously predicted 4-game win streak happens here.

I still question Mix making the trip to Portland with USMNT camp opening the next day in Miami.

to far to drive to make the trip. love going to all the games which are drivable. nycfc should be happy with 1 point. hopefully Portland can make a couple mistakes which nycfc can capitalize on, other wise 1-1 would be a great result going into toronto
I could be wrong, but I thought I read that MLS players aren't being released for the first friendly against Puerto Rico. So he should still be with us next weekend, unless the information I read was incorrect.
EDIT: Just found an article from WaPo -- MLS players aren't reporting until after the games from May 20-22.

Lopez and Brillant both sit at four yellows and one from a suspension. We want full hands on deck for the Red Bull match and a win in Portland will be tough to come by.
That's weird. So the MLS players (including Mix) could get cut before even arriving at camp. The 23-man roster is due May 20.

Me. Have meetings in Portland and Seattle next Monday so it's a business trip. Terrible flights but the best soccer atmosphere in America, the suicide-girl themed strip clubs and the dispensaries will ease the pain.
Great stuff. I'd love to see games in both Seattle and Portland. Fan atmosphere is unrivaled.
LionNYC hit on the big issue going into the game. Who replaces Bravo? Other guys could be missing or suspended, and we have a good, readily apparent replacement. Not the case here. My guess is that Lopez moves back and Mix comes in.

I agree with this, however someone mentioned Iraola steeping into Bravo's spot in the shoutbox last night. That could be interesting.
Lopez should go back to his actual, makes sense role, of back up CDM, and Mix can slot into his actual makes sense role of CAM.
We all know Mix is good based on his games this year and with National team. However, two separate coaches benching his ass, there has to be something there, right? Would love to hear the real story.

I'll be there. Wanted to see what Portland is like, always looked like a fun place. Perfect excuse/ reason was added with NYCFC playing there. Get to enjoy a few (lot of) brews at the breweries, and apparently some pretty decent coffee for the early morning (re: hangover) cure!
Would like to see Mix in the place of Bravo, push Lopez back next to Pirlo to give Mix some space up front.
