Connor Lade out for the rest of the season.

And still no word on Perrinelle or BWP. I feel like we're about to call some defenders up from RBII if this keeps up.

DP out 4-6 weeks. BWP had an MRI and his status is unknown.
DP has got the worst luck, he's gonna miss most of the season at this rate. It's a damn shame.

Agreed. Collin + DP was a nice paring. I don't trust Zubar.
I've been pleasantly surprised with Colin, he hasn't been sent off nearly as much as we were lead to believe he would be.
So what's our end of the season starting XI gonna look like?
I think it's going to be Veron (if BWP is injured) up top with Grella and Muyl on the wings, Sacha in the CAM, Davis and Felipe as CDMs, and Lade on the right, Collin and Zubar in the middle with Kemar on the left.
I'm not sure what our bench looks like defensively.
Supposedly there are still three trialists practicing with the Red Bulls. I hope one of them is a CB and is good enough to fill in, should another back goes down.

Lade's out for the rest of the year. All these injuries have killed out defensive depth.

I'm sure Royer and Damari are going to feature often, no? Reinforcements couldn't come soon enough.
Brain fart. I meant to say Zizzo.
Unless Marsch want to play 3 in the back, which could work given the depth and strength of the midfield, attacking help won't do much.
I was thinking about the 3 in the back option, but it seems like suicide. That said, it could work if Marsch leaned all in on the press, and used the extra midfielders to cut every single passing lane.
PS. This Open Cup is the reason why I love this tournament. It gives teams like New England and Chicago to win back some pride.

In Yanks Abroad news....
Julian Green makes the Bayern Munich squad. In theory he's more of less 3rd on the depth chart behind Lewandowski and Muller if they're going to play him at striker.
Also, Matt Miazga is set to join Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, according to Sport Bild. Good move for him provided there's playing time available.

Minutes are all that matter to me. Julian isn't going to get much, but hopefully Matty can find a spot. He's a really talented back.

Signed Auston Trusty who was supposed to go to UNC to a homegrown contract.
moves on moves on moves. guess that explains why we gave away all our draft picks for next year and I am 100% okay with that.

The best fit for Miazga would be one where he actually plays and doesn't ride the pine so go to whatever team offers that.

Miazga, apparently, is being loaned to another PL team. Hopefully, it's a scrub team where he'll get a lot of playing time.

But he was already on Chelsea...
(Okay bad joke that won't be relevant this year sadly)
PL or Championship?
It seems odd Chelsea would loan to another team in their league; although it has happened on multiple occasions in the past.

Quakes just scored in somewhat amusing fashion. Keeper made the save for Vancouver then fell back a couple feet into the goal.

Red Bull Gaf, we're gonna melt later.
Nah dude, I'm staying home for this one. That shit is too crazy, I went to the bodega on the corner to get some ice cream and by the time I got there I was all dizzy from the heat. Shit's crazy, I salute you for going out though. I imagine there's going to be like 4 water breaks a half if this heat keeps up.
Impact trained in some insane heat all week here, they're ready

Conceding in the first minute is something you should probably expect when you start an attacking midfielder in your backline
Edit: or maybe not, Revs account on instagram had the wrong starting 11.

NYC scores on a penalty in stoppage, but then Columbus scores right after to bring it back level. Thank you Crew!
