Robert, Dave, and other haters,
I want the team to qualify for the CCL and this tournament is a prime opportunity to do just that. After all you, in MLS you can get hot the last month and half, barely get into the playoffs and then win-it-all.

But considering this is FCD, they’ll fall apart in the end and not make it to the playoffs.

Please keep in mind that Houston went winless in 5 last year and won the west.

Cai and other haters,
The playoffs are nowhere near a lost cause right now. FCD is 2 pts behind the 8th seed right now.

Chill out.

Other Alex, what are you talking about “break the coach’s confidence?” Sometimes I go twice a week. And occasionally, like this week, I don’t go at all. But yes, mostly I go once a week.

this really depends on who DCU puts out there too. Their defense hasnt been great and the keeper is a problem. no depth at forward and the rookies have been contributing to the first team (Wallace & Pontius), so who knows how important they are to Soehn. We’ll see.

I actually would favor going for the Open Cup at this point, and not just because of Uncle Lamar. IMHO, we have no shot at the League Cup, and probably not even the playoffs. Single elimination, especially where many other clubs don’t emphasize it, we may have a reasonable chance, at least to advance a ways. We have the talent I think, just not the coaching for this level.

Put me in the camp of I really don’t care about the Open Cup. I really think they should use it to get all the youth national team some real game time. Use it as a measuring stick of where they are compared to MLS competition for once. Wally, Shea, Lambo, Peri all should be in. I think it would be a wonderful opportunity for the below lineup, tell them before the game You want PT? Time to show you deserve it.

Peri Cunny
Avila
Shea Guarda Sanchez
Wally Torres Pitch Dello
Lambo
