So here's who to keep an eye out for tomorrow and next weekend (remember, it's doubtful teams alive in the MLS Cup will give up players for a call up in the November window).

[U]Col vs RBNY[/U]

Col - Steffan, Zardes, Trapp, and Coach Berhalter
RBNY - Parker, Long, Adams, and (long shot, but so far really impressive) Coach Armas

Not gonna lie, Long is a really interesting prospect.  He's really, really good in MLS.  We've seen players like him go on to be regular USMNT starters and we've seen players like him become fringe call-ups.  When he moves up to Europe, he could potentially make a name for himself.

[U]Portland vs Seattle[/U]

Por - Jorge Villafana, Jerome Ebobisse
Sea - Roldan and longshots Frei and Marshall

Let's face it, American fans will be the story of the match.

[U]NYCFC vs ATL[/U]

NYC - Johnson, Sweat, and Sands (longshot)
ATL - Nagbe and Carleton (maybe).  I refuse to respect Guzan in my post.

Honestly, Carleton probably won't play a ton.  Johnson is too up and down to be the USMNT keeper, but it wouldn't surprise me if he makes a huge step forward in two years.  We know who Nagbe is and Carleton is likely to be buried on the bench -- though the youngster is great.  If you're tuning in to this one it's because Villa, Almiron, and maybe Martinez are on their last legs in MLS.

[U]RSL vs SKC[/U]

RSL - Rimando (legend), Lennon, and Beckerman (legend)
SKC - Tim Melia, Zusi, Opara, Besler, Lindsey (18!), Shelton (longshot), and Busio (Future!)

Big fan of some of the SKC youngsters.  I think we'll see Linsey and Busio lace up for the USMNT this cycle.

In closing, it's gonna be better than watching the Giants, Jets, or Bills!
