TFCBloggerThis is going to be an interesting game under some trying conditions. I'm sure the Nicaraguan fans are going to make it tough for TFC. Lord knows what condition the pitch will be in not to mention the bias officiating.

At the back I think Winter will slot in Robinson along side Iro to give him a go. I don't think he can do worse than Harden who would most likely get eaten alive in a fast paced game which I expect. I know Morgan made a costly mistake defensively the last game but over all he has been playing well and gives Winter a bit of what he is looking for out of a full back in terms of attacking.

In the last game I really loved when Frings dropped back and Dunfield played in an attacking role in front of him to spread the ball. However, in this game with these conditions the wise thing to do would be to start De Guzman due to his experience.

Up front I'm thinking Koevermans is simply not fit enough to play the type of game we'll be facing so I think Maicon will start ahead of him. Either that or Marosevic up front and Soolsma in his usual position.

I'm going to say a brutal 1-1 draw.
