I love how this will be on HD, but I absolutely despise ESPN's MLS broadcasts.  I really do not like listening to Eric Whine-all-day talking about how great he was 10 years ago.  It would be much better if as a color guy they had, like they do in England, some Scot you can barely understand.  I think that's a law in England when it comes to broadcasts of football, you have to have at least one incomprehensible Scot on the broadcast team. 

This is the projected lineup




I think this is about the best lineup we have or at least close to it.  Espindola and Deuchar up front seem to be a good combination.  Dema is our best d-mid, but I think I like Sturgis here and Dema out wide as Sturgis is capable and Dema is also great out wide, so having them both on the pitch is the best combination.  Regardless, I also like Williams.  It seems whenever Andy plays, great things happen.  I got a jersey from Jamaica I need him to sign too.  The backline I really like.  It is great to finally have some depth back there, especially in the center.  If either Olave or Borchers go down, Mantilla is more than capable of starting in this league.  We have never had an option back there like that before.  After Eddie Pope, the cupboard was pretty bare.  Wingert to me has been very solid.  Beltran is a bit of a question, but I think it's better to get him some first team time. 

As for Colorado, Christian Gomez was a great addition for them (look for Colorado to trade him to RSL at the end of the year for a couple of pairs old gym socks).  Coundoul is either very good or very bad.  I am interested to see how he reacts to Deuchar in front of him.  I am not sure Colorado really has an answer for the good Doctor, provided he gets good service into the box. 

I look for this match to end 2-0 with a brace from Deuchar, I just don't think they can deal with him, but Dema  and Borchers can deal with Gomez.
