Nick Rimando (GK) is impenetrable. One of the top keepers in the league for sure. Superb reflexes.
Midfielder Kyle Beckerman is their captain and controls the center part of the pitch. Expect Chara to have a busy game matching Beckerman.
Up front they have Javier Morales who is a wonderfully gifted midfielder. Getting up in years, but hes got touch and experience.
Alvaro Sabario is their best goal scoring threat up front. He's a good value DP. Lots of production for what they pay him. Behind him, Robbie Finley is a quick pacey forward. His touch is lacking. If he can get running you Gambian Towers in the back may be vulnerable. You also have to account for Joao Plata who is a creative forward/midfielder.
They are deep in the midfield. Ned Grabavoy, Luis Gil, Sebastian Valasquez can all play ball. They are good players.
On defense watch out for their centerback's Nat Borchers and Carlos Salcedo. Borchers is an experienced vet who is hard to get past. Salcedo is a rookie but has played really well to this point. It'll be interesting to see how Valeri and Nagbe can deal with them.
