Lineup Projection: RSL vs. LAFC, U.S. Open Cup
Jean-Yves Ahern-USA TODAY Sports The magic of the cup (not that cup, of course — we hope you’re enjoying our coverage of the Women’s World Cup, but there’s a much less important cup I’m addressing here) dictates that a whole bunch of players, you know, miss the start of the U.S. Open Cup.
Which, well, yeah. That’s just a lot of fun, right? It falls during an international window, and that means RSL is going to be a bit drained tonight against LAFC.
Jefferson Savarino is out killing it with Venezuela (and killing the U.S., which is another story altogether.)
Albert Rusnak is off with Slovakia, and while he didn’t play in their 5-1 drubbing of Jordan, they’ve got a World Cup qualifier today.
