FC Denver eyes a spot in the US Open Cup
On a cool night in Aurora, Kyle Firebaugh and Luke Elbin stand at the end line, arms folded, studying the passes and movement of 22 men on a plastic field. They are debating whether this guy is all the way back from injury, or that guy is going to give them what they need in the midfield. Kyle is a former player and coach, and current board member, for FC Denver. Luke is the General Manager. And normally on most squads, I suppose they wouldn’t be so involved in trying to decide the matchday eleven for the team’s upcoming clash against Indios FC, because the head coach would be doing that. However the head coach, Drew Melin, is busy on the field, playing as the starting center back.
