Who's on the list?

Some clues as to what we can expect at least one of the opposing teams' roster to look like for the Saturn Cup Challenge reside in FCD's line-up against Mexico's Club Atlas this Wednesday, March 22nd, when the Hoops take on the Foxes in an exhibition game at Pizza Hut Park.

Buzz at 3rddegree.net has intimated that the roster we see in that game will probably be the same as the OKC game and the opening day game on April 1st kicking off the MLS season.

I hope this is true as well as hope that the Kansas City Wizards follow suit and play their opening day roster in kind.

Too often in pre-season exhibitions we only get to see the bench warmers, second teamers, and fringe players fighting and clawing for roster spots and never any of the money players. Of course this is logical strategy on the part of the clubs as they don't want any unnecessary injuries to befall their best and brightest. But it would still be nice to possibly see Ruiz and O'Brien, et al. for FCD and Johnson, Wolff, and Conrad, et al. for KC.

I feel pretty good about it.
