Mickey Mouse Club Time

 

Canaveral National Seashore

I was in Disneyland last weekend but its Florida's Mickey Mouse Club this week as Orlando and our old friend Oscar Pareja come to town tomorrow night.  The good news is that the weather looks great, if a bit hot.  I wouldn't expect any delays but this is Colorado in June so you can't rule it out.  Orlando is 8th in the East to the Rapids 9th in the West but the East is more competitive (the 10th place team in the East would be 6th in the West) so based on track record so far the visitors would be the favorite.   Kickoff tomorrow is the normal 7:30pm.

Availability Report:
OUT: GK Zack Steffen (knee), M Ali Fadal (knee), M Wayne Frederick (Trinidad & Tobago Nats), M Alex Harris (ankle)

Harris is a bit of a surprise, but not one that should be a big impact.  Good to see Bassett off the injury report.

I don't think Cole will start immediately coming back from injury, he'll probably sub in for his brother with 30-35 minutes left.  I don't love Travis at left back but Armas seems to.  The rest feels fairly likely.

Prediction: 2-1 loss, goal by Mihailovic.  Given our recent play its hard to see us scoring more than 1 and its also hard to see us giving up less than 2.  The only teams that haven't gotten 2 against us in the last 10 games are Seattle (surprisingly), St. Louis, and FSL.  Getting a point here would be a bit of a moral victory, getting a win would be a big step in turning our recent struggles around.
