Kickoff is just around the corner and Tom Soehn has named his starting lineup. With a few tired
players after a bunch of games during the last month, the coaching staff has decided to rest a few
key players. Here's the eleven that will take the field to start against Houston:
Zach Wells; Bryan Namoff, Pat Carroll, Devon McTavish, Marc Burch; Craig Thompson, Clyde Simms,
Fred, Ryan Cordeiro; Luciano Emilio, Francis Doe.
I missed the match entirely. Wound up going shopping with Mrs. Shatz in advance of our Ocean City
trip. First full-team match that I've missed all year.
But we did get some answers to the questions that I posed yesterday:
Does [Soehn] choose to start the highly paid Quavas Kirk in this match, or keep using him only in
the safety of the Reserve division?
The big addition to today's 18-man roster is the inclusion of Santino Quaranta to the
substitute's bench. Tino hasn't played since the team's 4-1 win over the Galaxy on June 29, when he
left the game after just 27 minutes with a hamstring strain.
Here's tonight's starting lineup:
Zach Wells; Bryan Namoff, Devon McTavish, Marc Burch, Gonzalo Martinez; Craig Thompson, Clyde
Simms, Jaime Moreno, Fred; Luciano Emilio, Francis Doe.
