Once A Metro: Is NYCFC all in for USOC, or are we going to learn a lot about the depth of Patrick Vieira's squad from this game?
Sam Dunn, Hudson River Blue: The gaffer himself has claimed to be all in. While there's a quick turnaround to Saturday's midday league showdown with Seattle, this game matters more to NYCFC fans-- and not just because it's against the Jerseyites. The odious losses to the Cosmos that marred New York City's first two Open Cup jaunts still fairly stick in the craw. Notably, a designated player has never appeared in USOC play for the Boys in Blue.
