I've been saying all along my team is a PRETENDER. I will admit we're probably better than I think. And my younger players are getting encouraging skill bumps, but as the game against dang demonstrated, many of them still have a ways to go yet to be dependable players at this level. But there will be movement on the depth charts, which is exciting!
As noted, the Cup is pretty tricky from here on out, any breaks in the Cup are pure luck moving forward. My match tonight should be a pretty decent one.
