TORONTO FC VS COLORADO RAPIDS
MLS
June 14th 7:00PM
BMO Field Toronto Ontario


Match Preview:
Still unbeaten on home turf this season, Toronto FC return home for the first of back-to-back weekends at BMO Field when they play host to the Colorado Rapids. TFC, however, haven't been as successful outside of Canada, falling 3-1 last Sunday to the Houston Dynamo. The Rapids have alternated wins and losses for the past six matches, their latest a 3-2 setback at the LA Galaxy - which was their third loss on the trot in matches away from Dick's Sporting Goods Park

I fell asleep watching golf and left my dog outside in a thunderstorm. Sorry dog, but I'm awake now. The ref seems very pro Toronto, but Colorado has come to play. That Cummings is giving TFC a lot of problems. Good to see Tebilly healthy again, I don't think James is ready yet.

First goal, he cuts in on the left, does a nice move at speed to get some space then slips a left footer (!) into the far post.

Second goal, he has his back to goal on the left, does a great series of fakes, then blows the ball high past Burpo on the near side as he turns. This goal was really special.

Game over, TFC was trying to sub Lombardo in at the end (why?), but the ref wouldn't let them.

Pretty easy win for TFC, they got lucky when Cummings couldn't finish a clear chance when it was 1-0 and then Ricketts took over. Great atmosphere tonight, and a fun game to watch.

TFC > Crapids. What a shit team they have! They made us look like Holland today. Ricketts was just toying with their backline. Ricketts was doing whatever he wanted to do. Cunny really needs to convert his chances. But besides that, TFC played great!

By the way, is it me or does Robert seems frustrated at Cunny? I wonder if anything is going on between those two.

Robert has all these great ideas and Cunny has no sense of what Robert might do.

06-14-2008, 09:44 PM
OK, I'm not Cunny hating because he just plain sucks......he doesn't go for any ball that's not fed in right to his feet and if he has to run with the ball...FORGOT IT! I can understand why Roberts seems frustrated with him...shit, everyone is frustrated with him. I almost jump the railing tonight to strangle him.

Batman
06-14-2008, 09:54 PM
I believe Cunny has 1 more goal in him in TO, to get to an even 100. At that point he's dealt, and at the end of the season he retires. You heard it here first. Book it.

S_D
06-14-2008, 09:56 PM
probably one of the most entertaining games I have seen TFC play this season. I liked seeing the possession last more than a half like it did with KC and RSL.

I agree, I thought I saw Robert look really pissed off when Cunny blew those chances. It looked like they were always trying to feed cunny so he could get #100. Robert gave up a few chances for a shot to feed him. I say screw it Robert, go for the goal yourself. He had a great match along with RR.

Cunny was ok, he worked hard trying to get the goals but that constant flopping he was doing ruined his performance. I hate it when any player does it.

<rant>
If he has to cheat to get a shot at #100 (if he gets to take the penalty shot), it takes away the shine of his past accomplishments. If he continues to fall over in the box I am all for benching him or getting rid of him altogether. I have always supported him, but I never condone cheating, and if this is what it is coming to I want him gone.

Ratven
06-14-2008, 10:16 PM
Harmse is such shit, I never get on players for playing poorly, but every time he touched the ball he made one of the worst possible plays he could. He killed any momentum the team had when he started running the ball up field, could've sent multiple players forward on at least two occasions, and instead he stops and sends it back. He has no footy sense and no on the ball presence.

He performs his duties passibly, but I think he hurts the team when he gets the ball.

Today was great, DD's goal was the pick of the bunch, RR finally stepped up a notch. The game also served confirmation that Cunningham is SHITE personified.

I like Edwards distribution, he has good hand & presence, we're fortunate to have two excellent keepers.

A GREAT win by TFC against a club with equal amount of points. This keeps us above the leaders in the West, LA (Even though we have the same amount points we swept them in the series) and as it stands right now we are 3rd in the East. If Chicago loses to FCD then we keep our 3rd place spot.
We need a win against KC as we head to NE to face the Revs afterwards. We still have 18 more games left in the season (not counting the Canada Champions Cup) and alot more football to play so every win and every point counts when we are looking at making the playoffs.

I'm very happy with the result of today's game, but realistically I think it could've been a VERY tight game, even in favor of Colorado if all of their strikers didn't have Lombardo-like finishing. Edwards made 4 or so saves on dangerous situations where the ball was shot right at him. So the chances were there for Colorado.

If he has to cheat to get a shot at #100 (if he gets to take the penalty shot), it takes away the shine of his past accomplishments. If he continues to fall over in the box I am all for benching him or getting rid of him altogether. I have always supported him, but I never condone cheating, and if this is what it is coming to I want him gone.

That dive at the end was brutal.

I would have loved it it if the ref bought the flop and awarded the penalty, then have Carver say "Go ahead Rohan, get your hat trick. We need Jeff to hustle like this every game but at the same time no flop should go unpunished."

Discipline:
COL -- Preston Burpo (caution; Deliberate Handball) 25
TOR -- Kevin Harmse (caution; Tackle from Behind) 52
TOR -- Jeff Cunningham (caution; Trickery) 85

I've never heard it called trickery before, but that's perfect!

Just watched the game now on my PVR and Toronto FC looked great. It was great to see Ricketts get 2 goals as he's worked hard for it.

Bravo to Dichio for the nice goal, GK had no chance on that one.

I hope they play like this next week when I'm there vs Wiz.

I thought that Robert did contibute but some sloppy setups between him and Cunny. Speaking of, he seemed to blow an opportunity late inthe game for his 100th. The ball was a couple feet in front of him and he couldn't bother challenging for it. It wasn't important for the game but...100th?

Best performance of the season for TFC....Ricketts was easily man of the match with teo great goals.....Cunny was being grabed all day this shirt pulling shit was be dealt with instead of worrying about streamers.

I loved the game all around, Rohan's goals were great, Danny's was amazing and Cunny had some great chances, Edwards made some great saves, it was just a great night to be a supporter of the Reds.

Yesterday's game was the most exciting TFC match I've ever attended, even more fun than last year's 4-0 drubbing of Dallas. Rohan Ricketts has elevated his game to unexpected heights in Guevara's absence. Dichio's tally was a beauty but Rickett's second goal was perhaps the nicest goal in TFC's history! Unfuckinbelievable...

I'm very happy with the result of today's game, but realistically I think it could've been a VERY tight game, even in favor of Colorado if all of their strikers didn't have Lombardo-like finishing. Edwards made 4 or so saves on dangerous situations where the ball was shot right at him. So the chances were there for Colorado.

I agree we did have some difficulty at the back. Cummings should have finished a couple of sitters but fortunately for us he wasted them. It was a good performance at the end of the day, but we have to tighten up at the back. Teams like Chicago, DC, Houston will finish those opportunities. If we are going to get in the playoffs we need to play better without the ball.

Great game.....Reds looked tight at the back...wynne played amazing, ricketts is the man, dichio what a flippin cracker, Robbo played the way he gets payed, Cunny sucks ass because plain and simple he cant finish, and Harmse is only good on another team, sucks ass.......Dunny played good, and robert should have had one of those freebies.....

looking forward to KC next weekend

I don't think that we were tight at the back at all. How many opportunities did Cummings have. Off the top of my head there were atleast 2 sitters but he shot them right at Edwards. The Rapids had some clear cut opportunities but could not finish. If we are going to the playoffs we have to tighten up at the back. The last 2 games have been horrible at the back.

This was an awesome game -- first time ever TFC won on Rogers fucking Sportsnet.

From my count, they have NEVER won on Sportsnet until yesterday.
