I have a feeling we're gonna play a lot better than most people expect us too.

I'm optimistic for that too.

Look at it this way - while we are lean up front, we were lean up front last year too. O'Brien White is no worse of an option than a Gerba or a Barrett up front. In the long term we need more depth, but for one game? Who knows. Obie had some flashes of brilliance last season.

Our midfield has more depth than last season, JDG has had a full pre-season to get settled in and shaped up, and DeRo is hopefully at 100% again.

Our defense is sketchy at best, but hopefully the coaching of Preki will have them playing more organized than they ever did under Carver or Cummins.

I think Columbus are the favourites to take the three points from this game, but it isn't like upsets never happen.

don't get too depressed no matter what happens these first few games.

3 PTS for TFC today!

THis goes one of two ways; we either battle it out for a draw or we cave to an early goal and it all falls in on us. Maybe, if we're lucky and drawing late, we pip it on a single goal.

I have a strange optimism. Probably very strange. Probably not even rational.

If this season goes in the shitter like I expect it to, I want it to at least involve finally beating the Crew.

Go TFC.

Good luck to Preki and all of the players today and for the remainder of the season......and Mo can fuck off.

Match prediction:


Columbus Crew 3 : 0 Toronto FC

Goal scorers:

1. The Bigbird/Big Jew Fro:facepalm:

2. Eddie Gaven
3. The Whitey Fro Jew Kid(2):picard:
Discipline:

Red Card: Jim Brennan
Yellow Cards: Garcia, Hayden, DeGuzman


I hate the big bird, even worst I hate his fuckin celebrations, they make Will Farrell smile i'm sure as he gets his next idea for a movie he can play in.

I saw Preki on Soccer Central today talking about the Crew like they were the team to beat in MLS and quite honestly he's right. I just hope our guys in Columbus don't get too much air time on TV, Im sure they will pan plenty to the TFC fans but in a negative way, scanning crowd for anyone with their face in their hands.

Good Luck everyone!:scarf:

rocker
03-27-2010, 02:57 PM
I'm pumped!!! finally this loooong damn offseason is over!!!

Thing is, any team playing on the road against last season's league champions would be considered the underdog. So regardless of the TFC roster at this time, TFC begins at a disadvantage in a league where away records are usually crap.

I'm looking for things beyond the scoreline... organization, team play etc.

But if they even grab a single point that's an accomplishment.

So, are the TFC fans there just random fans that showed up, or are the other supporters groups not "honouring" the agreement between the groups?

NEE are there along with randoms. There was no agreement to "honour".

We need to find something going forward. This team simply can't find anybody to move the ball up the field.

We could have Messi and Rooney playing up front we'd still be down 1-0 as they'd never get the ball.

About what we could expect.

Basically a defensive effort, the odd foray, but not much offense.

Columbus is spreading the field and playing more directly. We're getting too caught up in the short stuff, due to a general lack of cohesion and confidence,

But we're not awful, so it's a start. It's a long season.

The treaty was to organize trips. They never said anything about individuals going. They wouldn't stop a TFC fan from going to a TFC match. All the SGs said was that they wouldn't be running trips down to Columbus.

Just stopped watching the first half. The D has been pretty good outside of Garcia.(WTF WAS THAT PASS!?!?!?!).

DeRo looks kind of flat. Maybe it's just me. I can't wait until it clicks with White. He could be come a very good striker.

And, it hurts to say this, but Barrett coming back may be a good thing. If he's able to wonder a bit and play a bit in the mid field, it may help generate some chances. I think DeRo looks really out of position as a second striker.

03-27-2010, 03:58 PM
In my opinion we're playing better than we did in the preseason. A few too many small passes in the middle and Saric really needs to chill out a bit. I would like to see a little more from Cronin and Gala. Deguzman has done some nice passing, spreading the ball but it seems a lot of people get it then get tackled right away.

I'm hoping for some magic from DeRo.

Garcia and Saric need to come off NOW. Bring on Gargen and Labrocca to give them a shot. Saric's passing has been absolutely atrosious and he's picked up a yellow. Garcia has been Garcia and at this point I'd rather lose 5-0 while trying someone new then to lose 1-0 with Garcia.

I don't speak for other groups but i do for NEE. There was no agreement for this year (only for the 2nd away match in Columbus last season which even then was pretty informal in regards to our group). We had people for and against going back after last year when we had a frank and open discussion. The decision was to proceed for this year.

Saric broke up four Columbus forays, started two offensively and got our first decent chance on net.

But yeah, he's very aggressive and with a yellow already it might be safer to switch it up.

03-27-2010, 04:00 PM
This team can't make more then 3 passes without losing the ball. Saric looks weak and the whole team is back to punting balls out of thier end.. I feel like tearing a new one into Garcia he's such a weak player..

Oh you must have just started watching then. His movement is good, he's done good things when he has the ball.

he is a striker and he has had one shot so he can't be doing a lot of good things, if he was he would of had more shots ... with that said i don't think he has had the ball a lot to do things with the lack of service from the mid...

and he is the reason we are down a goal..

Kilgore Trout
03-27-2010, 04:02 PM
man, people here are waaaay overreactionary. Columbus are one of the best teams in the league, they are coming into the season having already played competitive football, and we had a few spells of sustained pressure, and played decently by our standards for most of the half.

compared to many of the performances in this team's past, I really, really don't think this is even in the bottom 20%.
