- Danny Earls is on the left, Zach Scott on the right, Seedy Bah is at forward and David Estrada is on the right wing.
- We are under way.
- Big test for the young kids as RSL is using largely their starting lineup.
- I will be able to name trialists today and should be able to for the remainder of training camp.
- 5: A shot from distance by Alvaro Sabario is snared at the post by Terry Boss.
- 6: Servando Carrasco slides in to steal a pass from Nick Rimando at midfield, but RSL quickly regains possession.
- Is Neagle playing Forward?
- Neagle is at forward.
- Servando Carrasco sends a long pass to the left sideline to Lamar Neagle, but Neagle is flagged offside.
- Adrian Hanauer and Chris Henderson are on hand to watch the action.
- RSL gets the ball deep, but a pass up the right side goes harmlessly away for a goal kick. Good deending by Patrick Ianni to hold off the attack.
- looks like a youthful line up with lots of speed....montano, estrada, ba, and neagle. who is playing under neagle?
- Seedy Bah is playing at forward along with Neagle.
- RSL scores off a free kick, but the goalscorer is flagged offside. Good break for Seattle.
- What do you think the chances of Boss being waived in favor of Ford and Meredith?
- Slim - I think Boss will be on the roster for the duration.
- so it's a 4-4-2 today. Carrasco and Prieto in the middle?
- yes, 4-4-2.
- Danny Earls with a great ball into the box from the left side is defended away from Seedy Bah for a corner kick.
- Jonathan Prieto's corner kick is defended away to Miguel Montano, who pushes up the left side and crosses a ball into the wind that looks like it's going over, but Nick Rimando makes the grab as the wind blows it back.
- which of the newbies do you thing will be on the final roster? meredith or ford?
- Tough to say - they've both been pretty impressive in their own ways.
- Zach Scott with a long ball for Lamar Neagle up the left side, but it goes over for a goal kick before he can control it for the cross.
- are they wearing the new kits?
- Both teams are in their training kits - Seattle with green, shale, green and Salt Lake with all blue.

- Don't know for sure yet.
- Another Jonathan Prieto corner kick is defended away by Kyle Beckrman.
