crowd looks like a bunch of camera-holding tourist types.

props to those in reds' colours.

[GBV]

fricking grease bag.

[flatpicker]

I'm scared!

:)

[Pigfynn]

^^^hahaha

it's ok Flats all will be fine.

[Red Rat]

[jabbronies]

did they boo the anthem?

[ForestGlade]

Jesus, a friendly and Dichio still can't get into the starting XI

[Pigfynn]

ok now I'm scared too

[ForestGlade]

Oh, and the grass looks shite

[Red Rat]

Oh shit 3 man up front for RM
they will score in 5 mins

[ForestGlade]

Holy shit, Ronaldo got booed with the ball?!

[Couchpotatoe]

Quite possibly for the first time on British Television an MLS team will be shown live. The newly re-branded ESPN is free for this month on Virgin Media (probably the same for Sky). I can't ever remember TFC let alone an MLS team being shown live over here. Hmmmmm.

I predict a Toronto 4-1 win. Easy :D

[GBV]

Holy shit, Ronaldo got booed with the ball?!

that was great. reds represent!

[Antoshka]

errr good fucking crowd considering none of the supports went supposably

[ForestGlade]

Quiet BMO though. You can hear the TRN beats easily

[Belfast_Boy]

fuck the crowd. watch the game
did you see Gomez???

[Belfast_Boy]

Come On You REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GBV]

oh vitts.

[ForestGlade]

Vitti almost scored!!! Great handle

[flatpicker]

holy crap that was close!

damn!

[Belfast_Boy]

Vitti!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice

[GBV]

Dive No. 1.

[ForestGlade]

Who knew Ronaldo played keeper for Puerto Rico

[Belfast_Boy]

That's right boys. Make these fucking millionaires take you seriously!

and that was a penalty!

[GBV]

shoot brennan for the love of peeeeete!

[ForestGlade]

Awesome drop by Brennan, just didn't have anybody with him

[Belfast_Boy]

should have hit it!

[silverjelly]

Brennan.....*shakes head*

[GBV]

That's right boys. Make these fucking millionaires take you seriously!

and that was a penalty!

was still a dive though.
he don't dive, he scores.

[Red Rat]

And they can't do that against puerto Rico ????

[Detroit_TFC]

Holy crap - this is on ESPN HD in the States.

[jabbronies]

damn we got lucky on that take down. If this were an mls game. It would've been a penelty

[ForestGlade]

Holy crap - this is on ESPN HD in the States.

Just for you dude :cool:

[jabbronies]

what the fuck was that shit pass

[Batman]

wtf was that!

[Belfast_Boy]

shit Bosh is there! wouldn't want to sit behind him!

[ForestGlade]

Timbits defending

[Red Rat]

Fuxkkkkkk

[Batman]

what a shot

[jabbronies]

one down. 4 to go

[DoubleUp]

wow serioux!

[Belfast_Boy]

look at that patience! fuck, shit clearance!

[spezz44]

nice goal fuck

[Antoshka]

aweful clearance.
sign raul, he can finish lol

[Belfast_Boy]

Raul, is sick.

[bimmer]

Does the pitch look slope-y to anyone else?

[Red Rat]

one down. 4 to go

One down two to go

[GBV]

what's the rowaldo stepover count at?

[Banjax]

took em 13 minutes alot longer then i thought it would

[Belfast_Boy]

TFC is confused by the strange playing surface....

[Banjax]

TFC is confused by the strange playing surface....
I think they are more amazed by the pitch then who they are playing against

[Red Rat]

took em 13 minutes alot longer then i thought it would

no worries is about to pour now

[GBV]

FUCK

[jabbronies]

damn

[Belfast_Boy]

that's some sexy football boys!

[Red Rat]

Spoke just in time

[spezz44]

jesus this is going to get brutal

[ForestGlade]

I'd be happy with one goal at this point

[Antoshka]

wow that looks sooooooo easy...
also cant believe he lets the crowd get to him lol

[Banjax]

Why wont they take it easy against us they know we are an MLS team....Oh wait they are..

[Belfast_Boy]

Jesus!

[Belfast_Boy]

wow that looks sooooooo easy...
also cant believe he lets the crowd get to him lol

he's not Beckham

[Banjax]

it's about a goal every ten minutes so 9-nil would be a good prediction

[JamboAl]

A 2-0 lead is never safe.

Oh who in the hell am I kidding?

[Red Rat]

we need to have 6 man defence

[phonzo]

it's just sad to watch..

[mclaren]

This is very sad watching this - never watched a BMO Field game this quiet.

[Krasno.pL.]

if only we played 10% close to that. we'd be sick.

[Belfast_Boy]

Danny Dichio....

[Red Rat]

Almost 3

[phonzo]

dichio can't save us now..nothing can :p

[Red Rat]

Raul fuck

[eustacchio]

This is very sad watching this - never watched a BMO Field game this quiet.

...or heard louder cheers when the ball's in our 18. My heart is breaking.

[phonzo]

:picard::picard::picard::picard::picard:

[Belfast_Boy]

ouch! they gave that shit away!

[ForestGlade]

Sitting fans with their camera phones ready......wow

Question: cause this is a friendly, are there unlimited substitutions?

[Super]

Real Madrid is just an amazing team, period.

[flatpicker]

sheesh!

kinda glad I didn't spend the money for my tickets!

It would be hard to watch the game with my head buried in my hands!

[Shakes McQueen]

Eh, whatever. If we get a goal, I'll be happy.

Going into a friendly against a team like Madrid with any expectations, is insane.

- Scott

[Antoshka]

sooooooooo easy..

[mclaren]

...or heard louder cheers when the ball's in our 18. My heart is breaking.

lots of very loud girly voices

[Krasno.pL.]

SOOOO Easyyyy

[spezz44]

is their a mercy rule tonight?

[DoubleUp]

robinson watched that the whole way, and frei didnt even attempt to tuch with his hands which he's allowed to do

[Belfast_Boy]

it's a shooting gallery!

[jabbronies]

Even Garber knows this is a schooling. makes his league look like shit

[Banjax]

well look at the bright side at least we get grass at bmo for the rest of the season....oh wait

[phonzo]

yes the fans cheering when Raul's name is announced is depressing...but whatever maybe they will give us a pity goal?

[Red Rat]

Is like shooting fish in a barrel

[Super]

This is exactly what our team needs to help build morale for the final push for a play-off spot: a massive whooping by Real Madrid. GROAN!

[DoubleUp]

why cant dero slow down! control the ball and make a proper pass.

[S_D]

yes the fans cheering when Raul's name is announced is depressing...but whatever maybe they will give us a pity goal?

we have to get a shot on net first lol

[BeninatoTFC]

Embarrassing. All this was about was MLSE lining their pockets, they couldn't give a shit if TFC lost 15-0 and the league gets embarrassed.

[Belfast_Boy]

Eh, whatever. If we get a goal, I'll be happy.

Going into a friendly against a team like Madrid with any expectations, is insane.

- Scott

I love my TFC but this really shows the difference in the levels of quality between our football and the big teams.

[ilikemusic]

:lol:

This is going to be the most embarrassing friendly in MLS history.

:lol:

Toronto will be lucky to win a header all night.

:lol:

[Banjax]

I say if Dero get's injured this game because of a Real madrid player we should get Kaka. Sounds good?

[Belfast_Boy]

yes the fans cheering when Raul's name is announced is depressing...but whatever maybe they will give us a pity goal?

I don't see us getting a pity goal, but I think they'll stop scoring around 5 or 6 goals.

[phonzo]

sooo how about that grass?

[Shakes McQueen]

Embarrassing. All this was about was MLSE lining their pockets, they couldn't give a shit if TFC lost 15-0 and the league gets embarrassed.

Some people will complain about anything. Ticket prices, the timing of the game itself, and now the concept of having a friendly against a world-class football power in the first place?

It's only "embarrassing" if you were somehow under the delusion that MLS was of similar quality to the European superpowers in the first place.

Was it embarrassing when Seattle got shellacked by Barca?

- Scott

[Belfast_Boy]

there's that bullshit short corner again! Jesus fuck!

[flatpicker]

DeRo seems to be getting beat on every play!

then again... every TFC player is!

[Banjax]

http://i30.tinypic.com/24cv8gi.png

Long lost brothers? They share the same number after all i say we just switch the two

[Nomad]

Was it embarrassing when Seattle got shellacked by Barca?



The answer is yes.

[phonzo]

there's that bullshit short corner again! Jesus fuck!

it could have worked real might not have seen our super secret strategy!

[Belfast_Boy]

I think this is going to be good for Gomez. Sanyang should get a run in. if Cummins has a brain in his head.

[flatpicker]

man! RM sucks! They haven't scored a goal in the last 5 minutes!

[DoubleUp]

vitti looks good though!

[Banjax]

man! RM sucks! They haven't scored a goal in the last 5 minutes!
you got to wait near the 40 min mark they gotta score 1 every ten minutes like i said

[Belfast_Boy]

it could have worked real might not have seen our super secret strategy!


LOL! thanks Phonzo, I needed a laugh!

[Red Rat]

I say sit on the ball and waste time

[GBV]

I love my TFC but this really shows the difference in the levels of quality between our football and the big teams.

obviously. but remember this is real madrid.
top-flight team.

how bad would the MLS's top team fare against, say, a weak EPL team?
probably not win or anything, but i don't think it'd be embarrassing.

[Super]

Losing 2-0 to Barcelona is not that terrible. If we can keep this at 3-0, and maybe get a goal as well, then that would be great as well. If we get killed 7-0 it would not exactly be a good thing for the club.

Unless you're a Real Madrid fan.

[phonzo]

but honestly every time the crowd groans when real misses i die a little inside so I can only imagine what our players are feeling when half the stadium is against you..it's like an away game at home!

[Belfast_Boy]

think this will be hardest on Frei and DeRo unfortunately.

[flatpicker]

I say sit on the ball and waste time



what are the fifa rules regarding sitting on the ball?

do they only stop play if the person crosses their legs?

[Belfast_Boy]

obviously. but remember this is real madrid.
top-flight team.

how bad would the MLS's top team fare against, say, a weak EPL team?
probably not win or anything, but i don't think it'd be embarrassing.

I grew up on Liverpool, but you don't really notice how different things are until you compare them side by side.
and we aren't going to get Preston Northend coming to Toronto.

[ilikemusic]

:lol:

What a bad attempt at a fast free kick

:lol:

[Gwando]

C'mon guys! Our guys know enough to know this is only a show... it will mean nothing come our next game

[Shakes McQueen]

The answer is yes.

So that's all these friendly game tours are? A chance for the best teams in the world to go around, and embarrass other teams in lesser leagues? Come on.

If the Boston Red Sox were to play the Los Vegas 51s, I would expect them to win by a large margin. If the Detroit Red Wings played the Kingston Frontenacs, I would expect a blowout.

It's only an embarrassment, if you went into it with expectations.

- Scott

[Red Rat]

what are the fifa rules regarding sitting on the ball?

do they only stop play if the person crosses their legs?
THe rule is that you are allowed to kick them in the balls

[Super]

Like I said, there is nothing positive to take out of this game for the TFC players OR for TFC fans alike. It would have been more productive to bring in a local crap team and allow our team to kick the shit out of them - to make them feel better. Running around right now, getting seriously schooled, there is no way that can be helpful for their morale.

So yeah, benefit is to the TFC wallet and to Real Madrid fans. As for me, I'll go to Madrid when I want to see them play. I don't need to appreciate their strength at the expense of our team. Getting a whooping is never good.

[GBV]

I grew up on Liverpool, but you don't really notice how different things are until you compare them side by side.
and we aren't going to get Preston Northend coming to Toronto.

i'm just saying in general.
we have one of the world's best teams against one of the MLS's ho-hum teams. of course the difference is huge.

how would the red wings or pens fare against, say, a mid-level, say, swiss team? probably as ugly. or more so.

[flatpicker]

THe rule is that you are allowed to kick them in the balls


wow! is that a recent rule??? doesn't seem very PC

[Belfast_Boy]

but honestly every time the crowd groans when real misses i die a little inside so I can only imagine what our players are feeling when half the stadium is against you..it's like an away game at home!

they aren't dumb, they know that a lot of non-fans are there. there's a bunch of football tourists at that game. they hear us at regular games.

[Antoshka]

i love kaka, if he wasnt married...

[Shakes McQueen]

but honestly every time the crowd groans when real misses i die a little inside so I can only imagine what our players are feeling when half the stadium is against you..it's like an away game at home!

AND the are operating on a half-week's rest, AND this is ultimately a meaningless fixture. That's over and above the fact that they are outclassed by Madrid skill-wise.

As long as we don't lose 27-0, I'm just going to enjoy the game, and hope we can slip one past them.

- Scott

[flatpicker]

If RM were kind, they would keep pulling our guys down and giving us lots of chances on free kicks.

[flatpicker]

oh crap...

I said give TFC free kicks!!! This is not fair!!!

[West220Side]

I get a cold chill up my spine thinking about someone sitting in my seat wearing a real jersey, and ronaldo's name on the back. Its a scary picture, which i assure you i will have nightmares about.

but to get down to it, heres my tactical plan. Put on Barrett, and he can do some more kung fu like in New England.

yup and I think we're lucky that it's only 3 now.

[ilikemusic]

Theyre booing cause Ronaldo didnt take the free kick.

:lol:

- Scott

These tours are a chance to make money and have a paid pre-season for the European clubs. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Embarrassment is a very big factor in these friendlies.

[GBV]

we need to take some lessons in time-wasting from that puerto rico keeper prick.

[Banjax]

All those flashbulbs before the free kick sicken me

[Belfast_Boy]

who is this twat doing the commenting on GOL.... what a fucking wanker.

[Batman]

guys..did we get any confirmation that Velez was shipped out today?

[Belfast_Boy]

it's not just about the money for them. they are testing their boys, this is a warm up for their regular season.

[Sullivan]

Half time
Wheat 3, Chaff 0

[Super]

I must say, it is great to see this game in HD. Wish they would do that for all games. Looks amazing!

[Banjax]

Rofl Serioux Said A Little Bit Above Them

[NateDoGG]

madrid is putting on a school show
id like to see toronto score a goal atleast..

[ilikemusic]

Speaking of a game going on tonight that is worth mentioning, the Blue Jays look gorgeous in those throw back 90's uniforms. :scarf:

[Batman]

Serioux has honest. He\d probably never had to work so hard in his life!

[Belfast_Boy]

don't worry the subs will start soon.

[flatpicker]

I liked that interview just now with Serioux

He told it like it is... "it was like I was seeing double of everyone"

You could tell he is having a good time, and finds the skill difference entertaining.

They're getting smoked and he can still joke around about it.

[Sullivan]

Love the movement by RM - almost looks as if they have more than 11.
TFC are not collapsing - very good to see.

[mclaren]

This game is making me sick - all I can think of throughout is "MLSE whore". It's such a circus and most of the fans who made this club mean anything aren't even there. It's all tourists and screaming girls. Very, very sad. I have no respect left whatsoever for MLSE.

[Shakes McQueen]

Speaking of a game going on tonight that is worth mentioning, the Blue Jays look gorgeous in those throw back 90's uniforms. :scarf:

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING.

God, get rid of the new look jerseys, and bring back the old ones. They look amazing.

- Scott

[Red Rat]

45 mins gone
Ronaldo won't be back and you will see their second team play and this guys are eo eager to show what they got so here comes the onslaught

[JonO]

vitti looks good though!
Really? I think he's missed an opportunity to advance the ball up the wings every time he's touched it. Also, aside from a beautiful touch in the first couple of minutes, DeRo looks like he's really struggling to control the ball out there. Worst I have seen our guys play this year - and that's saying something (even considering the opposition)...

[NateDoGG]

Bring Dichio On

[Sullivan]

good on him that he can have that "perspective"

OMG THEY SHOULD BE SO EMBARRASSED.

- Scott

[Belfast_Boy]

Serioux has honest. He\d probably never had to work so hard in his life!

and he's loving it. did you see that smile. shit, he's playing against Ronaldo and Kaka! it's like a wet dream for those guys. Christmas came early.

[Gwando]

Mark 67 has it, like I said, nothing at all comes from this game, except maybe just a tad bit of prestige at playing the world's most expensive team... but they know the reality of this spectacle... give 'em some credit, please.

[Banjax]

Any idea if those trialist everyone was talking about going to get to play

[flatpicker]

Speaking of a game going on tonight that is worth mentioning, the Blue Jays look gorgeous in those throw back 90's uniforms. :scarf:

throwbacks are fine... but...

I've always thought, if you don't wear your socks on the outside of you pants, then baseball uniforms look like lame pajamas.

but with the socks... vintage coolness!

[Pigfynn]

don't worry the subs will start soon.

Yup, Robben, Snjieder etc..all on the way :picard:

[Batman]

Speaking of a game going on tonight that is worth mentioning, the Blue Jays look gorgeous in those throw back 90's uniforms. :scarf:

Just had a look. Ya...thats the the this team is SUPPOSED to look.

[Shakes McQueen]

I've always thought, if you don't wear your socks on the outside of you pants, then baseball uniforms look like lame pajamas.

but with the socks... vintage coolness!

They aren't wearing the light blue pajama looking ones. I think those are hideous. They are wearing the classic white jersey from the 90s.

- Scott

[flatpicker]

Yeah I know... I put the game on before I posted that...

the reason I said it was because I thought they still looked silly even with the much improved old jerseys.

Funny enough though... as I was typing... some Blue Jay with blue socks on top of his pants got a nice hit.

[AdamZ]

eh, I've enjoyed it and can't say I give a damn what the score is. Who cares? Would have loved an upset but didn't expect one in a million years.

[Batman]

the raptors should have a game and make the guys wear vintage SHORTS. Now that would be funny.

[flatpicker]

45 mins gone

thanks a lot...

[gtaguy]

all i can say is that we have a team that might be worth 3 to 4 million and they transferred 7 players for almost 400 million dollars in one season..
how are we going to look bad..
To top after watching RM training session i think alot of soccer pros like our women in toronto. i saw a part where they were all giddy like little kids. They could hear thier names being yelled and stuff and they all pranced like little hooligans.. anyone catch that in the broadcast from gol tv..

well we got 5 mil for Edu.. so I'd say our entire team would be worth a lot more than 3 -4 mill. They could probably get that for |Frei. Some of these gambians might be worth a bundle in a few years too.

[Stryker]

Mo needs to try and sign Gomez to a very long contract by tempting him with a good raise ASAP.
Do it now Mo before everyone realizes his potential.

[Belfast_Boy]

for those taking this so seriously stop thinking it's a game. it's not. for our guys to be embarrassed they would have to think they had a chance to compete. if you could have asked any of them before they would have told you that they don't have a hope of winning. they above any of us know why they are playing in Toronto and not Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester or Milan. but for tonight they get to face them, play on the same field with the best in football. it's an honour, not an embarrassment.

[Red Rat]

Shit he is back

[Krasno.pL.]

YES DUDEK MY POLISH MAN
hahahah

[phonzo]

why can't they air all the games in HD..does look good :p

and they bring on a fellow polak...huzzzah!

[gtaguy]

Mo needs to try and sign Gomez to a very long contract by tempting him a good raise ASAP.

so far what i see Gomez is solid and what a horse hes huge..

[Belfast_Boy]

Nice ball Barrett!

[Belfast_Boy]

YES DUDEK MY POLISH MAN
hahahah

was sad he left my LFC.

[Oldtimer]

Mo needs to try and sign Gomez to a very long contract by tempting him with a good raise ASAP.
Do it now Mo before everyone realizes his potential.

He was noticable in his quality of play.

[Krasno.pL.]

yea i was as well.... but he's done :P lol

[Batman]

theres a classic barrett play

[phonzo]

lol...where are the barrett threads now... :p

[Whoop]

Why didn't DeRo pass Vitti the ball when he had the chance?

And then he decides to pass when it's too late.

[rocker]

what was De Ro waiting for when he went up field with Vitti? holy shit.. pass the goddamn ball.. sometimes lately I've wondered what the hell De Ro is trying to do. He tries to do things himself.

[phonzo]

sidenote the grass wasn't laid straight...disappointed :p

[Antoshka]

wow barrett shows what MLS class is all about lol

[flatpicker]

...sometimes lately I've wondered what the hell De Ro is trying to do. He tries to do things himself.

yeah... he's done that a lot lately

he's gotta know that tonight he won't be dribbling the ball through that defense!


side note...
I'm surprised they put Edwards in goal... you would think in a game like this (trying to keep the goals against down) they would keep their best keeper in.

[Whoop]

Some have said he doesn't pass to Vitti...:noidea:

[Belfast_Boy]

He was noticable in his quality of play.

very calm for such a young guy. he could probably play well in the mid field.

glad they pulled Frei.

[phonzo]

heh...us polaks are dicks

[Stryker]

So is everyone still againest the idea of taking Raul here in 2 years?

[Antoshka]

i think marvell will get some interest from europe after this game, he's really showcasing his speed.

[Batman]

jeezez

[Antoshka]

So is everyone still againest the idea of taking Raul here in 2 years?
i dont know about everyone but i think raul is lol

[Batman]

i think marvell will get some interest from europe after this game, he's really showcasing his speed.

great.

[Stryker]

Nice pass Brennen.
:picard:

[Belfast_Boy]

Jimmy B, those guys won't fall for that shite

[Pigfynn]

Good job Marvel!

[Belfast_Boy]

So is everyone still againest the idea of taking Raul here in 2 years?

here?

[Stryker]

i think marvell will get some interest from europe after this game, he's really showcasing his speed.

Works for me. Show Mo the money!

[Stryker]

here?
He said months ago when he's done at Madrid he wants to try MLS.

[Sullivan]

here?

ya,
Mo offered him 7 million at half-time, he's got till Monday to decide....

[Belfast_Boy]

Well be lucky to keep Gomez. and Frei.

Yikes, Ronaldo might be a diving whiny shit bag, but he's got beautiful control!

[Belfast_Boy]

He said months ago when he's done at Madrid he wants to try MLS.

interesting. if he can still walk I'd take him.

[Red Rat]

Get off the field already

[BallardSounder]

Nice to see lots of red in the stadium, and the support for TFC.

Also nice to see RM keep the starters in so long.

As a side note, I'm on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Seattle right now, just went over North Platte Nebraska. We're at 36000 feet and going 494 miles an hour.

Watching the game live on ESPN, and got a coupon for free onboard wifi.

Sometimes technology is a beautiful thing.

Update: I've now lost the TV feed, but the internet seems to be fine. I wonder if I can get streaming video?

[Whoop]

Wow... flying high in the air and you're posting on the RPB board.

LOL

[flatpicker]

I like Steve Nash and all... but they gotta stop taking the camera off the game during the pitch-side interviews!

[windsorlad111]

came in late. does anyone know if Arbeloa has played?

[rocker]

Ya know.. I'm starting to think maybe Barrett really could become a good defender.

[Whoop]

TFC lucky there.

[flatpicker]

the ref is being generous to Toronto

[Whoop]

Ya know.. I'm starting to think maybe Barrett really could become a good defender.

Hmm. Interesting.

He does work hard.

how many times have professional players made that kind of change in their roles?

[Belfast_Boy]

think he's being taken off because he's playing like a dick. getting way too physical for a game like this.

[Red Rat]

came in late. does anyone know if Arbeloa has played?
They have 4 subs in right now with the highest number being 29 so number 81 should be coming up soon

[madcow]

Seriously. Gabe Gala instead of Danny for Barrett ???

[Sullivan]

Gala IN Barrett OUT
Dichio on deck

[madcow]

[Belfast_Boy]

I'm on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Seattle right now, just went over North Platte Nebraska. We're at 36000 feet and going 494 miles an hour.

Watching the game live on ESPN, and got a coupon for free onboard wifi.

[TFC_Chris]

Nice. Edwards with a great save and Sanyang follows it up by clearing it off a forward's face.

[flatpicker]

Sweet Moses!!!!

[Whoop]

You got to be shitting me.

Why couldn't they get one on Tuesday?

[TFC 420]

Gala!? WTF!!!

[Pigfynn]

Goallllllllllll

[kdzb]

Based on Barrett's agressivity and the mood after he got replaced after only 25 minutes of play. I guess he wiil be gone soon.

[Red Rat]

[Red Rat]

[Batman]

I heard Velez was released today... I guess not.

[Belfast_Boy]

exactly, wrong type of aggression. he's frustrated and playing angry. if he keeps it up there will be lots of yellow and reds in his future.

[T_Mizz]

You know what you may be right, its a comeback alright but of a different kind leftover from the PRI game.:D

[Belfast_Boy]

I heard Velez was released today... I guess not.

yeah, I thought he was going home

[Belfast_Boy]

keeper hesitated.

[Pigfynn]

I heard Velez was released today... I guess not.

Anyday would be fine by me.

[Antoshka]
