Peter Wilson starts on the subs list, which is an encouraging sign after leaving their June 20 game at Phoenix on a stretcher. Five total changes from Phoenix: No Florian Valot, Danny Trejo, or Bertin Jacquesson in the 18, leading to Tucker Lepley, Wolfgang Prentice, and Faysal Bettache getting the nod. Tyler Gibson also moves to the bench, and Keegan Tingey gets the start. Julian Bravo also gets the start. Curious to see the alignment. Kendall McIntosh also gets his second straight start. A lot of youth on the subs list with Rosic, Martinez, and Wachs.

Hi all.

My friend who come to US couple year ago know that I like roots and he bought me a black panther roots jsersy, but I am a East Asian, and I don't feel really comfortable wearing that jersey due to I am not black, what do you guys think? Ok for me to wear or not? Thanks

Saturday feels like another huge match for the Roots. They’re ahead of New Mexico in the standings, but New Mexico has two games in hand. A win would create breathing room in the tight Western Conference. Three big questions could shape the outcome.

What questions do you all have heading into the match?

I think its like $40-50 to park, $15-30 for mediocre food/drinks, and another $35 plus to see the game. Thats insane to see a soccer game. I guess its not much cheaper else where but I don't think I get my money's worth. They do have to pay for the staff and ushers but the parking price is ridiculous. And then its an old stadium that can't even get fans into it. No wonder the A's moved.

After a wild one, it felt like the Roots had finally broken out of their scoring rut with a small tweak to Peter Wilson's role. Now the big question is what it looks like if he misses time.

It also raises another one: how does Wilson's possible absence reframe the last month of the season?

What stood out to you all from this Saturday's match?
