Pre-match: June 24 Shite Bulls @ THE CHAMPIONS Toronto FC

[TFC USA]

Game is on GolTV at 7:30 PM ET. We should get Marvell Wynne back but I really don't care at this point.


Fuck it, we're winning this one. Shite Bulls will be given no mercy.


Toronto FC 9 (Dichio 7, 17, 25, Guevara 44, DeRo 57, 62, Frei 68, 77, 88) Shite Bulls 0.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

As long as the team enjoys the next couple of days to celebrate and get back to work...we need the points againt New York....2-0 TFC

[boban]

uhmmmmm ... Game is on the 24th.

[sidvan]

You do know the game is on the 24th right.

[C.Ronaldo]

Wynne still plays on TFC?

[TFC USA]

I'm incapable of typing properly so can someone change it?

[Yohan]

2-0 sounds like a good result for us

the lads needs to stay focused and not get overly confident after beating montreal

play our game and the goals will come

[Super]

I think we'll win this one. The players are on cloud 9, and so are we, so we'll be difficult to deal with for NYRB. I'm hoping for an atmosphere fit for newly crowned Champions as well. :)

[rocker]

the shite bulls are playing on saturday (home versus sounders). so they should be a touch less rested on wednesday.

[anto7]

Guevara and Serioux missed training today due to ankle injuries. Cummins hoping they will be ready for Wednesday. Gerba trained today as he waits for his transfer clearance(as per TFC website).

[anto7]

Could someone change the thread title to the 24th please.

I am thinking 2-0 on this one also.

[ensco]

Glad to be playing a truly terrible team at home in our first outing post Miracle.

Some risk of a hangover for the boys in this game - that was pretty heady wine, last time out!

[Nuvinho]

No Goldy.......other players are suffering from knocks (Hall and Rojas).

[billyfly]

Does anyone know if there will be a pre-game ceremony/ Voyageurs Cup presentation?

[TFC07]

It should be interesting to see how TFC play this game after kind of performance they had in Montreal. Not only that, but eastern conference standing is so close right now. We can't afford to drop points especially against inferior teams like Shitebulls.

+1

With that said, I say the boys come out focused and strong and pull out a 3-0. I pre'd 2-1 last game so lets see if I can continue the streak!

[Shakes McQueen]

After the win against Montreal, their confidence should be sky-high. I predict a comfortable win, as long as the energy drinks don't manage to get an early lead and throw off their groove.

- Scott

[BuSaPuNk]

I usually see a hangover in situations like this. Hope it doesn't happen. As long as we can settle in early and control the first 25 mins we should get the result. 2-1 TFC. Dichio (due after all that hard work in Montreal) and Guevarra.

[Section 117]

I think that the boys will win 3-0. Danny, Dero and Barrett with the goals. The Miracle in Montreal is going to be a launching pad to show what TFC is made up this is going to be a statement game to the rest of the MLS.

[billyfly]

Does anyone know if there will be a pre-game ceremony/ Voyageurs Cup presentation?

As per Paul B (MLSINTORONTO):

Hope so. Coaches want to keep the guys focused on the road ahead...not give them any excuses, so we're still working on it. At this point I'd say we'll do something after warm up, and with one or two players to represent the team. Need to defer a little bit to the judgement of the coaching staff here, while still giving you all an opportunity to celebrate it.

The good news is the team is not resting on this in any way.

Whatever we do I'll come on here and tell you so you can prepare. For now plan on being at the stadium (in your seat) around 7:10pm.

[Yohan]

Anyone know whether Serioux and Guevara will be fit for tomorrow?

As much as I've criticized Guevara for his work rate, when he's on, he's our playmaker and even him being on the field makes the opposition wary

[Nuvinho]

No Petke as well:


New York Red Bulls defender Mike Petke was suspended an additional two matches and fined another $500 by MLS "for inappropriate conduct and comments made toward the officiating crew" in the June 13 match against Toronto. He sat out one game for the initial red card and, as a result of today's ruling, will also miss tomorrow vs. Toronto and Saturday vs. Columbus.

[darb]

Serioux has been seriously banged up in the last two matches. I'd like to see him rested at some point, though I'm not sure when is ideal. He looks like he's limp constantly when not in the play. Also, what happened to his wrist? He's been wearing some sort of brace for the last few matches. I have to ask because my girlfriend is wondering.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

OHhhhhhhhhh... THE.......

Serioux can rest from June 28 to July 10. That's about 2 weeks with no TFC games.

That's going to be a tight one for me, the Dufferin bus would have to work brilliantly for me to get there that early.

Damn work in Mississauga getting in the way of all the trophy celebrating.

As for the game, I'm a bit fearful of the post big game hangover, so i'll say we'll struggle in the first half, but frei will keep it down to 1-0 before we get our shit together and we'll come back to win 2-1. De Ro and Vitti.

[grizzle]

Cummins said they both were training today. He said Guevara was looking better than Serioux but both want to play.

[Niall]

Not sure whether this warrants a new thread....We have a number of important (they're all important) games coming up and we need for our squad to be focused. As I mentioned in another thread we'll do a trophy presentation but it won't be an all encompassing affair. Rudi will represent the Voyageurs, and we'll present to the team after warmups. Which means that if you want to witness it you should be in your seat around 7:15pm tomorrow.

Can someone help me out by posting at the other SG boards? i'm running late. Thanks

Guevara and Serioux declared fit for Wed game vs Shite Bulls

Line up prediction

-------Frei
-Attakora-Garcia-Serioux-Brennan
------Cronin----Robinson
--Barrett--Guevara--DeRosario
----------Dichio

Subs
Edwards
Gomez
Velez
Harmse
Gala
Vitti
Ibrahim

*Barrett deserves a start, after a good performance vs Mtl
*Harmse had a great game last time vs NY, but I think Cummins will want to stick with the tteam that produced in Mtl

[grizzle]

INJURY REPORT: TORONTO FC - OUT: FW O'Brian White (knee); QUESTIONABLE: MF Amado Guevara (ankle); DF Adrian Serioux (foot) ... NEW YORK RED BULLS - OUT: DF Carlos Johnson (broken metatarsal); QUESTIONABLE: FW Juan Pablo Angel (R quadriceps contusion); MF Albert Celades (L hamstring strain): FW Macoumba Kandji (R hamstring strain)
INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: TOR: Marvell Wynne (USA; FIFA Confederations Cup) ... NY: Andrew Boyens (New Zealand; FIFA Confederations Cup)
SUSPENDED: NY: Kevin Goldthwaite (yellow card accumulation; through June 24); Mike Petke (through June 27) WARNINGS:
SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD: NY: Kevin Goldthwaite
SUSPENDED AFTER TWO YELLOW CARDS: TOR: Jim Brennan ... NY: Mike Petke, Dane Richards

That would be good if Angel is out.

[Hustle]

If Barrett starts and misses a bunch of chances in the first half, it gets frustrating for everyone else. Start Vitti again, then bring on Barrett at half.
Either way, we win 2-1. Guevara M.O.T.M.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yohan]

oh wow. Angel. Celades. Kandji all questionable

like, might as well just give us the 3 points already

[drek]

Nice.

Off topic: AL-MO and the gang need a place to trace a banner, need a wall and two power outlets, any takers?

[morgank1986]

Are we doing any sort of TIFO for the trophy presentation? Streamers, Banners etc.

I'd be fine with that line up, I'm intrigued to see how garcia fits in when we've got pretty much our first choice defence out there, rather than the makeshift ones we've had for the two games he's played so far.

As for Barrett or Vitti up front, it depends on where De Ro plays, If the rw spot is open i'd say start with Vitti, if lw is open, go with Barrett.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Hope the club dont have a cup hangover, and come out fighting against New York....3 points should be had...but this game will be tougher as New York will want to end their slump!!

[rocker]

the question for me is, can NYRB keep up the fight given they will be less rested than TFC and possibly missing key players, and on the road, where they have "sucked the bag" to use an old grade school phrase. Given that the last game was Thursday for TFC, they'll have had almost a week off to rest up and will be playing pretty much a #1 lineup. The crowd will also be pumped after seeing the Cup. Either New York's subs and starters come out fighting or they'll crash almost as bad as Montreal.

Also they have another game on saturday which I think is a positive too as they will want to save some players for that game.

[Yohan]

Goldthwaite is out due to suspension too.

So Mendes + Boyens at CB. It's like another red card/penalty waiting to happen

Anything less than 3 points, I'm going to be not happy about. Esp since i don't expect us to get any points from RSL on sat (they are normally a good home team)

[Azzurri86]

Is it just me or is it everytime this guy refs there is a penalty in the game. Not saying anything bad already about the reffing but should we expect a penalty (one team or another) in this game.

[twistedchinaman]

OHhhhhhhhhh... THE.......

Red Craps are SHIIIIIIITEEEEEEE!!!!!!


TFC 4-1 Red Craps
De Rosario 32'
Guevara 45'
Rojas 67'
Guevara 73'
Vitti 92' <== come on son, you know you want to!

[Niall]

Yes Game Day!!!

Pumped for this one. We gotta get behind the boys and cheer loud for the full 90 plus. We all know they deserve it now.

Can't be too confident against a team in desperation although.....


OOOOOOO......... THHEeeEEEEEEEE........

[Oldtimer]

Energy drink supporters on BS are not optimistic.

"Rooney20" said there:


with Goldy and now Petke out of the fold this game could get ugly. 4-1 Toronto.

[Yohan]

I love night games.

This is the final regular season night game too. well, though it's going to be totally dark when the final whistle goes

Baldomero still told the Coaching staff that TFC will never win as long as he is officiating the game.
