Match day thread for group match 2 vs Flamengo at the Lincon Financial Field, Philadelphia.

Can I go early with a team for this?

Petrovic

James, Colwill, Branthwaite, Cucu

Palmer, Santos, Paez, Estavao

Gyokeres, Delap

Mental they only have 10 days of "rest" before flying to the states.

I'd play the B team + new signings.

He'll be sold before then. Real Madrid, 350 million euros.

Flying first class, getting great physio treatment, staying in a 5 star hotel after recovering for 10 days to play several football matches.

What a hard life for some who are conditioned for this.

Not even in jest, please 😱

There’s no way we should play a B team in this match. The South American teams have had a good showing so far and we aren’t that good.

Need to top the group to avoid a possibility of playing Bayern in the next round. We can play the B team vs the random team we play next.

Although I’ve just found out if we get to the quarter finals we’ll most likely get PSG if we top the group!

I think David Luiz plays for them?

Luiz now plays for Fortaleza.

I'd say getting to the quarters and losing to PSG would be a good outcome. Take the extra week off and it's still a decent payout.

Certainly the match to bring Santos on at some point.

So is this game not on channel 5?

They are all on DAZN if not

I think it's on Channel 5 as well.

Late in the game but debating if I go. Tickets haven’t dropped in price, and am sure it will be another low attendance game based on availability. Getting to Philly is no issue. Decisions - wish I knew the lineup!!

limited games in the US so worth the trip imo if you're local

Yea get down there Phil, It might end up a decent game, and they don't get over too often for games!

Penders

James Acheampong Colwill Cucurella

Santos Essugo

Neto Palmer George

Delap

Why would we go with anything other than a strong line up? They are a decent team who will cause us problems.

I think Santos might get a start and maybe Delap too but I don’t think there will be too many changes.

Not exactly local, but an easy flight! Ticket bought and ready to go - KTBFFH!
