Acosta needs to start, full stop. The only issue is where do you put him? Next to Bradley? Then you're relegating Dax to the bench as a depth option. That said, I think Bradley and Dax need to fight it out for that #6 spot. It'll be good for both of them.

Dom is going to be a good depth option, either to come on as a sub at the end or start when Jozy or Wood is injured or whatever.

Corona has improved immensely from the last time we saw him, holy crap. There's going to be a serious fight for spots in the midfield.

I think Morris would make another good super-sub. He's got speed and he's not bad on the wing. He's not good enough to start yet, but who knows how much he'll improve going forward. Right now he at least warrants a bench spot so he can be thrown into games and run at tired defenses.

Zusi remains a solid options off the bench at that spot. He's been getting a lot better at playing that defensive role lately.

All that said, out of everyone who played I think only Acosta swiped a spot on A-team. I'm interested to see if Miazga gets any playing time, pretty sure he got called up, and if he can impress. He's already shown a lot of skill and ability.

only seeing this now. Thanks for reply.

I agree with pretty much everyone everything.
Yeah, Corona 2015 Gold cup (iirc) did nothing but tick me off since he apparently thought he was Messi. Now he showed some actual ball control which is exciting.

You already saw what I saw about Acosta. I do agree it's going to be interesting to fit all these guys in though.

I'm still down on Morris due to not seeing enough progression but yeah he should make the bench for us.

Hopefully Miazga has gotten better. Where did he get loaned to again? Vitesse or something?
Regardless, our second CB spot next to Cameron is open imo. So anyone can show up and impress.

Heh, Galaxy getting rolled by RSL.

The ref was awful all night. He blew a lot of calls both ways. We'll see if SJ appeals the Bernardez red card at the end.

The only MLS team Wondo has faced and not scored on is Minnesota at this point and the Quakes have one more game against them this season. Wondo is now 16 goals behind Donovan on the all-time leading scorers list, too.

Yup, ref was an absolute joke for both sides.

We need this. Badly. Drinking a beer then heading in. At least Schweinsteiger isn't in the 18.

Also, our injuries are so bad we aren't even putting a full 18 out there. Only have six players on the bench instead of the normal seven.

Oh also, did you hear? Ridgewell is out another 6-8 weeks and we fired our head athletic trainer. So uh. Hopefully our injury issues will stop soon? :(

Veron does not get nearly the playing time he deserves.

Yea, he went to Vitesse and has done fairly well from what I've heard. I think he'll wind up as a starter at some point, maybe not this cycle but definitely next. He's got too much potential not to.

Really entertaining game, for good and bad reasons. Reyna looks like the Mauro Diaz esque attacking midfielder he was billed as, and having Waston back is massive. Huge three points.

Chicago is good, but they have a bunch of road games after the break, and they're not so hot on the road. If we can keep up our great pace, and why shouldn't we, we can create some more space at the top.

So I'd rather just have one team immediately with us in the standings for now instead of two.

I want that Gold Cup jersey so bad. It's so irritating that they are a limited edition thing, and it's even more irritating that they're so expensive. :(
