Now I guess @DontPanic & @admin can set something up for those who are interested.

[Admin]

Excellent.

Looking forward to this.

Uh... Not that usvi wouldn't be nice....

[JamboAl]

Wonder if they will charge for admission?  I saw DC United v Malmö FF there in Feb and it was free - and I didn't see any Indication of gates beyond the ones going into the overall IMG facility.

[Tuscan]

Discussing doing this away match w the gf. She's up for it so if it does turn out to be in Bradenton, I think we'll make the trip for the weekend. Hope a few other Vs are able to make the trip - away matches are the BEST (even if this is neutral rather than away).

Well if you're going, then this will be epic!

[Tuscan]

Whether it ends up being the three of us, thirty of us, or three hundred of us, it'll be a blast!

[Keegan]

Trying to make this one happen.  Could end up just being a dozen voyageurs watching.. which would be classic. 

Also im betting the CSA will drop the ball as per usual and not have this televised or if it’s streamed it’ll be on that god awful cujo thing.

Is it too early for this??

*leaving out Arfield due to injury and letting him settle with Rangers. Hutchinson is not sorted out yet. 

*One of Morgan or Adekugbe and I went with the guy playing in Toronto. Let Sam continue to settle in Norway

* left out Jackson-Hamel because he hasn't had an extended run of games recently and hasn't been scoring. Went with Larin and Cav instead.

*Akindele I think deserves another chance based on his recent brace, but even without, we'd want to keep guys like him involved and he hasn't been around in a while now.

*Chapman I included just to get another attack minded player in there.

*Teibert to fill the void left by Arfield.

*Cordova I want to see more of after he made 18 league appearances in Chile's top flight since his move up.

Just edited the first post. The CSA has confirmed what we already knew from the U. S. Virgin Islands side:

Bradenton, Florida it is!

I don't like this AT ALL.

Mostly because we'd forfeit the game to USVI due to having 12 players on the field!

No I would go with a 4-3-3 formation but that is just me

This line-up is definitely looking to score a lot of goals! I doubt it keeps a clean sheet even against CONCACAF minnows.

The ol 5-3-3

nope, just attacking winger. 

[Guest Tg11]

Which is why a 4-3-3 False 9 formation is the most effective formation to use

[SkuseisLoose]

I’d prefer a 4-1-2-1-2 

—————cavallini—— Larin

——————— ossorio——————

—Davies——————————hoillet 

——————— piette————————

adekugbe—————————godinho

——————Henry—cornelius———-

[HfxCeltic]

Am I missing something? Why are playing USVI in Florida instead of USVI? 

[SkuseisLoose]

Because this is their stadium and I don’t think it’s up to fifa/concacaf standards but I’m not sure.

Then even so they could have played the game anywhere else like in Florida like  Miami or Orlando but they are playing in a suburb more or less which I don't get but that's neither here nor there

 Probably cost to much money for the USVI. They don’t exactly have a lot of money in their soccer federation so they went for a cheaper option I guess.
