Pre-Match Thought: Accam back in, Basti not in the 18, and Alvarez in... central midfield? Fascinating.
Pre-Match Thought 2: 9:30 kickoffs are literally the devil.
Pre-Match Thought 3: Toronto beat Orlando, which means (for now) the Fire are back down to second place in the Eastern Conference and the Supporters’ Shield race. A draw will get them level on points. (I forget off-hand how tiebreakers work in MLS.)
Pre-Match Thought 4: Still low-key worried about the midfield but we should be fine.
KICKOFF: Let’s goooooooooooooooooo!
