    None of the players on the second to last pic should see any playing time on wednesday. It sucks for me to say that because I like them all. But they are all playing like crap lately.

    Actually I think Bornstein may be suspended for yellow card accumulation. I would think that Pearce would slide in, but if Boca is healthy it’s possible we’ll see him at LB.

    don’t yellow’s get wiped out once you get out of the groups? Does anyone know? JB has been playing pretty well at LB.

    Spector and Bornstein have been playing incredible. Great sub/replacement for Hejduk. Demerit hasnt done too bad, and Davies impressed me yesterday.

    We have 4 guys on a yellow:

    Bornstein, Spector, Bradley, and Onyewu.

    I’m curious if Bradley will stick to Demerit if Boca is healthy. I say let him keep going, he’s part of the reason we’re here.

    Bornstien to me shows alot of heart and effort similiar to hejduk, but i think bornstien has better ball skills and he can cross the ball better. The only concern I have is sometimes gets a little shaky, but we have to consider that these have been the biggest games of his life, plus he is young.
