Gonna make the effort to stay awake and watch it. A strong black coffee to help out! ![(zzz)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/wrnV5qDaHBTC0CMbOVC1.gif) Same here, although I don't think black coffee will do it in the need of a red bull or three

This should be a fun night for those of you going. FCD won't be near full strength however. But MLS teams don't take these friendlies that seriously and look to give some young guys some time so it's a good chance for Stoke to put something together in the attack and get some chances. They should, because the level of the FCD squad you'll see tonight is lower Championship level. Should be able to easily create 5+ SOG. If not, I'd worry. MLS team don't take it seriously? Tell that to Houston! And Columbus last year were very up for it. They're in the shop window Yeah, most MLS teams don't take them seriously. Even when Sea plays Man U or LAG play Madrid, starters play about 45 mins. When you play a worse MLS team like Hou or FCD, they have no star talent and have little depth, so it appears they take it more seriously due to the fact they have no depth and have to play their decent players. Can't mistake lack of depth and lack of talent for taking a friendly seriously. A team like Hou or FCD has no choice but to play their first options. Majority of their roster is utter shit past the top 4-5 players. And FCD's best player is in Chicago for the GC final tomorrow in Perez.

It's getting there, I don't like Cameron being at right back for two games in a row mind. But yeah from that group of players a 4-3-3 fits.

Still, I'd rather we were playing people there who we'd want to see in the long run. I can understand for the Houston game but not this. Especially when we have two better right backs in the squad who need game time too.

Just met Marc Wilson's first cousin randomly in a pub in Toronto, sitting with an I Pad streaming the pre match with, funny enough a Leeds fan who is over the moon that Bates has been exiled..... it's an omen.
