Devo has the Rhinos starting lineup for tomorrow's home opener against Carolina.
Nothing too surprising given how things have played out over the past few games. Although, Tino Nunez scoring a couple of goals last time out may have made things slightly more difficult.
Devo also has a blog post & D&C story on captain Frankie SanFilippo. It is nice to have Frankie back in a Rhinos uniform.
Carolina RailHawks.com has a preview of the match up. This will be Carolina's first road match of the season.
News & Notes:
- Portland defeated Vancouver 2-1 last night. Ryan Pore scored two more goals for the Timbers.
- Travis Clark has a USSF D2 preview for SBI.net.
- You have to love how Seattle Sounders fans react to mistreatment of their players.
- Fulham is through to the Europa League final in a few weeks after their 2-1 win over Hamburg.
- Grant Wahl talks to Bob Bradley and Steve Davis says the USMNT needs to avoid red cards over at SI.com.
- Eric Wynalda feels bad for Charlie Davies, but he doesn't think he will make the team this time around.
- I have to laugh at MLS forming a committee to look at how to win the CCL. Here are two ways: bigger rosters and more financial incentives to win the CCL.
- Apparently Petr Nowak went Herb Brooks on the Union after their USOC Qualifying loss to NY.
- Construction of the temporary home for the Vancouver Whitecaps as they make the jump to MLS next year is well under way.
