I was so high on Peter Vermes and his rotation and use of subs against Real Salt Lake, but then it was all out of the window against the depleted Vancouver Whitecaps. The subs were late and two were left on the bench. And the squad rotation was, again, non-existent. Especially when Vancouver were probably the team to try rotation against.
Starting XI Predictions
There may need to be some rotation this game because of Shelton’s apparent groin injury. Vermes was cagey about the subject during his press conference, but there are a lot of guys who have basically played every minute of the tournament: Alan Pulido, Roberto Puncec, Ilie Sanchez and Graham Zusi.
