I am not an expert on most teams outside of RSL, I am not knowledgeable about most teams outside of MLS, and I know nothing about teams from Panama. So I am going to leave previewing the group, and the match up to others:
MLS Soccer Group Preview
I will update with more as I get them. Here is a link to the official game guide with mostly RSL info and after the jump is the 100 Lions Rosters for the match:
Well it is clear by the projected lineup for the match that RSL is taking this match very seriously as you can see by this projected lineup:
GK: Nick Rimando
DF: Robbie Russell, Jamison Olave, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert
MF: Kyle Beckerman; Will Johnson, Ned Grabavoy; Javier Morales
FW: Alvaro Saborío, Fabian Espíndola
Getting a couple goal victory at home against an unknown opponent will not be an easy thing, but with this lineup is capable of beating any team in the competition so, expect an exciting match.
