Its time to get this season on the right track and this is the game to start it with. Everyone knows its Rocky Mountain Cup week, and FSL hasn't had a great start to their season. They are likely without Rimando who's Questionable (though he has a habit of being "injured" just until he gets to play us) and they're without Beckerman. If neither of them play this will be the first ever Rocky Mountain Cup match where none of Beckerman, Rimando, or Mastroeni play or coach. Year 15 of the competition may have a different look to it. Kickoff tomorrow is at 7pm, so the tailgate starts at 4. I'll be delivering the Cup to the Altitude set for Fleming's and Balboa's pre-game show at 6:30 before it appears on the Rapids Tailgate Live stream and then, sadly, returns to the FSL supporters.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Kortne Ford
Disciplinary Report:
SUSPENDED: F Diego Rubio
This is Casey's first full week in charge and that, combined with Rubio's suspension and the new acquisitions this week, makes me believe some changes in the starting XI.
I would expect Nicholson and Lewis to be a little higher than this formation allows me to show. I'm not 100% about Bassett and Price but I think the formation is about right. Who lines up next to Abubakar is anyone's guess.
Prediction: 2-2 draw, goals by Kamara and Lewis. Yeah, I'd love to predict a win but I feel like this draw is even optimistic at this point. This will be the first real good look to see if the moves over the last 10 days have made a real effect on this team. If somehow a repeat of the last RMC game that we don't talk about happens, or even half as bad, then the whole thing needs to be torched, top to bottom.
