If thats true, then maybe:
----------Countess--------------
Brown - Pierce - Dunseth - Broome
-----------Cutler----------------
Williams-----------Trembly-------
-----------Mathis----------------
----Kreis--------------Cila-------

I think that this lineup is more likely.

----------Countess--------------
Pierce - Akwari - Dunseth - Broome
-----------Cutler----------------
Williams-----------Trembly-------
-----------Mathis----------------
----Kreis--------------Cila-------

I wouldn't mind seeing Kamler getting some run at left mid, either.

I agree. Akwari is much more likely to play in the back than Brown I think. He did a great job on Ruiz last game along with help from Dunseth.

Kamler was practicing with the starters at the beginning of the week, but I'm guessing he's not a likely starter. I agree that Akwari would be the best bet.

From what I've heard from Watson, he has some business to finish with the North Goal..bring him in at half and let him wear the goats down..Watson is use to playing on the turf in 100 degrees back home in Texas

Out of curiosity, who or what decides which direction the teams go in each half?

Guessing here, but flip of the coin and winner picks?

The fourth official flips a coin with the captains in the Locker room before the match... I think....

I know that when I played the winner of the toss got to choose whether to kick off/receive or which end they wanted to defend first. The other team then gets to make whichever choice is leftover. So if a team elects to kick off, the other team gets to pick the side they want to defend first. If the winner decides which side to defend, the other team gets to choose whether to kick off/receive. I'd bet that is probably how it is done, but I could be wrong.

Ok, that makes sense.

If you're Coach E and you get to select which way you're going in the first half, which way do you choose? (Do you want a scoreless first half, or a scoreless second half? 🙂)

One thing to consider is where will the sun and shade be at this time of day? You don't want your goalie to be squintin' in the sun when a shot or cross is coming at him.
