Vic Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 How much will playing in Honduras last night and the travel affect players tomorrow? IMHO somewhat physically, depending on the knocks, but a significant amount more mentally. If you're a Caps fan, pretty good timing to play them 2 in 3 days...

Managing to beat Olimpia with arguably their best midfielder and a top forward suspended (Grande and Byers) helps a little on the fatigue side. Does anybody know if these players even travelled to Honduras? Limniatis also made some good early subs so players like Biello, Ribeiro, and Donatelli should have something in the tank as well.

Alberto7 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 The Impact have been playing spectacularly lately but all those games in such a short period of time is going to catch up with them. I think they will hit the wall against Vancouver this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also purposefully rested the two most dangerous wingers, Briliant and Placentino. So all in all the Impact will be surprisingly fresh tomorrow I think.

So all in all the Impact will be surprisingly fresh tomorrow I think. Leonardo DiLorenzo might be out with the head injury suffered in Honduras. This could hurt the Impact as Leo has been fantastic down the flanks even while playing out of positions as a defender. Hopefully Matt Jordan will be in full form, as Vancouver will be coming in with fresher legs. Should be a great game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
