Game Thread: TFC vs. FC Dallas

[TFC USA]

Step 1: Don't let Cunningham score

Step 2: Don't let Garcia play 90 minutes

Step 3: Score more goals than FC Dallas

Step 4: Profit.


Win baby. :scarf:

[TFC USA]

More rain? What the fuck kind of home season are we having?

Elliott Friedman hosting for some reason. Why does he sound like every word drags on forever?

[TFC USA]

This is an absolutely shit 15 minute pre-game show. Worst I've ever seen. Fuck Elliott Friedman.

Garcia starting in center defense, so I will prepare for the worst.

[Belfast_Boy]

Holy fuck it's empty!

[TFC USA]

So uh....tough luck in the World Junior Championships in Track and Field. Only 2 medals. I remember when Canada had some awesome athletes in Athletics but it seems it's a rebuilding process.

Meanwhile, go TFC! Santos starting.

4-3-3:

Gargan-------Cann-----------------Garcia--------Hscanovics
-----------------------------------------------------------
----------Sanyang------LeBrocca------DeGuzman-----------
-----------------------------------------------------------
DeRosario-------------------------------------------Barrett
------------------------Santos-----------------------------

[TFC USA]

Nigel took 90 seconds to misidentify a player...is that a new record for him?

[[NBF]]

i dont thijk TFC is compensating enough for Garcia and Hscanovics in the lineup. I think TFC will commit too many men forward and get caught on the speedy counter attack.

[TFC_Central]

stadium less than half full at kickoff? Yes. not surprising, who wants to sit in the rain? ......not the average footy fan. Until the highschool aluminum stadium is upgraded to look like a professional one , how can anyone be expected to give this organization respect? MLSE will get it right, however it'll take 20 years and only after milking every cent they can with minimal input. Ya'll wanna be mlse's cash cow forever? why not protest for a real stadium?

/rant.over

ps. lets not all jinx garcia into having a bad game :canada:

[stevielarson]

i wasnt around for the early glory days but were the crowds always like this for games in crappy weather?

cant wait to move to TO on tuesday. never missing a game again

[stevielarson]

[TFC USA]

Dammit how could none of them make that?

that was quick to rush to the defense of mlse.:facepalm:

[TFC USA]

I just know we'll give up a goal on the counter.

[[NBF]]

nice flick by barrett

[TFC USA]

What a play by Barrett. DeGuzman has to score eventually.

[Batman]

grreat set up by barrett...but shite finish by our 1.7 million dollar man

[TFC_Central]

a few mins in and the front of hartman's net is all chewed up.

[TFC_Central]

i predict a goalllll!

[TFC USA]

What a shit free kick from Labrocca.

[[NBF]]

TFCUSA, its a typical 4-0 pounding in disguise for the visitors.

[TFC USA]

How many yellows has Dero picked up?

[[NBF]]

damn yellow card for dero

[TFC_Central]

bmo needs to have 2 south end decks, like la bombonera

[[NBF]]

who is the 20 year old they were talking about being linked with england teams?

[[NBF]]

whats la bombanera?

[TFC_Central]

nikky garcia

[TFC_Central]

;1098858']whats la bombanera?

the home of one of the most storied clubs in history. guess...

[[NBF]]

lol

free kick coming up, deguzman should take it

[[NBF]]

valencia?

[TFC_Central]

OHHH fuck

[TFC_Central]

;1098862']valencia?
think, other spanish of the world :D

[ag futbol]

Sanyang is an idiot

[razor787]

Sanyang definately acted that challenge too much. Pretty much rolled around half the field.

[DoubleUp]

labrocca's distribution looks very good, Prefer him in the middle of the park.

[TFC_Central]

then goes back and makes a stupid tackle.

[[NBF]]

barcelona plays in camp nou, real madrid plat at santiago bernebau, im guessing villareal

[TFC USA]

fuck off Garcia

[TFC_Central]

;1098869']barcelona plays in camp nou, real madrid plat at santiago bernebau, im guessing villareal

La bombonera is the home of Boca Juniors

yeah all 8,000 people.

[TFC USA]

CBC loves shoving their non-soccer and hockey sports to cbcsports.ca and Bold.

[TFC USA]

Our team has absolutely no speed.

[[NBF]]

i dotn watch argentine division 1, i always get a kick of the sponsor though, im guessing its a transportation company, makes me laugh cuz it reminds me of the busses with all of the ornaments on the them...hahaha, the old country....i will never forget.

[TFC_Central]

damn cann, heavy challenge.......

[TFC_Central]

lol garcia's first fail!

[ag futbol]

He was pretty lucky not to get a yellow there...

[Davenport]

Back four is bad.
Latvia, Baywatch, Garcia, Gargan.
All not good enough.
Sanyang on the floor....shite...in the air....very good.

[[NBF]]

did you guys notice at the start of the broadcast, when the players were coming out of the tunnel, that last guy to come out was the sideline camera man? did anyone recognize who it was, i did, it was the guy from muchmusic, he hosted, the world music video program("video trip"?)and the power 30.

[TFC USA]

Cann has not had a good game today, imo.

[[NBF]]

is there a story to this?

[Davenport]

Correct...and they do. A massive difference.

[[NBF]]

nice pass by santos, theres definitely some quality there!

[dantdot]

Perfect pass by Santos, that was pretty.

[TFC USA]

Great ball by Santos.

[Batman]

;1098883']is there a story to this?

I assume it's just that he LOOKS the part.

[Davenport]

;1098883']is there a story to this?

He looks like he should be running on a Cali beach with red shorts and a surfboard. He's Mini Hasselhoff.

[TFC_Central]

lol nice body check gargan, thats the 4th on the aft.

[ag futbol]

Cann has not had a good game today, imo.
To me that's really just out backline in a nutshell.

Not a lot of talent back there but as a group they can be effective because of our system. Flip side is we commit so much to defending our attack is shallow.

[TFC USA]

Eliotte Friedman is shit. Why does CBC employ him for so many sports?

[TFC USA]

I'd rather win than be entertaining and suck....

But we might be the most boring team in MLS.

[[NBF]]

I assume it's just that he LOOKS the part.
Yeah i guess he looks the part:

http://thinkhousepr.mediaspaceltd.com/assets/62/9E26266C-AABD-D89D-CC77DDAA1F0859BF_mainImage/ronaldo_shorts.JPG

yeah, he looks like hes on vacation, but i dont know what you would be looking at.

[Hooligan69]

Ref is a bit card happy in this first half. lol

[Davenport]

Why the fook are we playing only 1 up front at home ?

[DoubleUp]

I'd rather win than be entertaining and suck....

But we might be the most boring team in MLS.
Also the ruffest and the tuffest:scarf::flare:

[TFC USA]

THis is some ugly ass football.

[ag futbol]

I'd rather win than be entertaining and suck....

But we might be the most boring team in MLS.
I'm not there yet, but i'm getting there.

In this order:
1) Being entertaining and winning
2) Winning
3) Being entertaining

Right now were @ number 2. But if that goes away we're pretty much left with nothing.

[[NBF]]

This is when you need to have wingers and a target man, this is a very physical game now.

[Davenport]

Garcia FFS

[Batman]

THis is pretty dull so far, so on another note:

What BEER are you drinking?

I have a TRAILHEAD LAGER from Wellington Brewery in Guelph.
Pretty damn good!

[[NBF]]

I'm not there yet, but i'm getting there.

In this order:
1) Being entertaining and consistently winning
2) Winning (Consistently)
3) Winning

Right now were @ number 2. But if that goes away we're pretty much left with nothing.
fixed

[Davenport]

De Guzman has been shite first half.

[TFC USA]

Was Nigel just talking to a producer in the background?

[TFC USA]

JDG that was shit.

[Davenport]

THis is pretty dull so far, so on another note:

What BEER are you drinking?

I have a TRAILHEAD LAGER from Wellington Brewery in Guelph.
Pretty damn good!

I'm sober...that could be the problem.
Where are all the supporters....bit of rain kept them away ?
Pathetic.

[DoubleUp]

If we dont win this game we have real problems, we are all over Dallas and only thing missing is the knife edge in the attacking third.

[[NBF]]

DeGuzman, is shit, at best i think he would be a great right back in MLS, but his first touch is shit and his dribbling is shit, and in this weather, he's marvell wynne-like going forward.

[ag futbol]

First half thoughts:

Good:
- Nick Labrocca playing in the middle.
- Santos holding the ball up front and providing a semi-threat in the air.

Bad
- sloppy defending @ the back
- overall lack of offensive flow

Ugly
- Pretty much anything Sanyang did

[TFC USA]

0-0 at halftime.

Another dull first half and LaBrocca's set pieces are awful today.

[stevielarson]

as bad as individual players have looked at times, TFC have had more pressure in this half than much of the last few games

[Batman]

I'm sober...that could be the problem.
Where are all the supporters....bit of rain kept them away ?
Pathetic.

I'll admit it. I sold my tickets. Mainly because the weather forecast said it was going to be 41 degrees celsius with the humidex. It probably isnt that hot now.. but I didnt feel like being in that.

[TFC USA]

HE PICKED GARCIA TO INTERVIEW?!!!!!!

Fuck Friedman.

[[NBF]]

Elliott: I think if i whisper to him, he might get so confused i might be able to slide my dick in his mouth.

[[NBF]]

Elliot friedman was his name?

[DoubleUp]

as bad as individual players have looked at times, TFC have had more pressure in this half than much of the last few games


some of best link play I have seen, I would like to get Mista in to bring up the quality of the play preferably for sanyang.

[TFC USA]

CBC needs to replace Brenda and Jason with Mitch Peacock and Dick Howard. Have Jason do analysis at halftime or something.

[SteeltownBhoy]

I bet Mista in for Sanyang.

[DoubleUp]

I bet Mista in for Sanyang.


wouldnt it be something!?:rolleyes:

[TFC USA]

WOO HOOO!!!!! MORE GOLD!!!! We won the relay!

[Davenport]

;1098909']DeGuzman, is shit, at best i think he would be a great right back in MLS, but his first touch is shit and his dribbling is shit, and in this weather, he's marvell wynne-like going forward.
And to think Johnston signed him as our DP on mad money.
I wonder if he ever watched him play before signing him ?

[AL-MO]

WOO HOOO!!!!! MORE GOLD!!!! We won the relay!

Take it to another thread.









:D

[[NBF]]

cant wait till lance armstrong gives back his medals, it would be glorious!

[AL-MO]

I'd be there if I wasn't sick. I love the games its raining. Its like fuel for TFC Supporters.

[Davenport]

I bet Mista in for Sanyang.
Has to be.....that's if Preki wants to try and win.

[TFC_Central]

Ugly
- Pretty much anything Sanyang did

what do you mean? his diving and rolling all over the pitch was first class!

[Brooker]

I'm sober...that could be the problem.
Where are all the supporters....bit of rain kept them away ?
Pathetic.


uhh..... Welcome to sports....

I'd be there but im sick as fuck. the supporters are there.... the fans aren't.

[[NBF]]

fc dallas is going to come gunning in the second half, this is typical visitor mentality, mark my words 4-0 for FcDallas

[TFC USA]

All of De Guzman's long shots are blocked.

[silverjelly]

DeGuz has been just....

[AL-MO]

;1098930']fc dallas is going to come gunning in the second half, this is typical visitor mentality, mark my words 4-0 for FcDallas

I will mark them, not to worry. ;)

[silverjelly]

How does that not get a free kick?

[stevielarson]

;1098924']cant wait till lance armstrong gives back his medals, it would be glorious!

he's going to end up in jail on fraud charges before he admits to anything

[Krasno.pL.]

DeGuz has been just....

Himself? lol

[Brooker]

omg deguz!

[silverjelly]

Himself? lol

Haha, yeah, I guess.

[TFC USA]

I thought that was a penalty.

[TFC USA]

CBC thinks our Chivas USA home match is on August 1st. I'm pretty sure it's not.

[[NBF]]

Himself? lol
i dont think hes playing to up to his DP designation, i think hes playing down to the standards of MLS and is camping in midfield. he just looks so out of place, its not hes cristiano ronaldo, where everyone is marking him tight, its that his work ethic and team work is below standards.

[TFC USA]

I don't think CBC needs a sideline reporter.

Who else agrees with me?

[Brooker]

CBC thinks our Chivas USA home match is on August 1st. I'm pretty sure it's not.

they said it was on the 7th in the first half which is right. unless my tickets are wrong, too. :drum:

[stevielarson]

mista out stretching on the touchline. hopefully comes in around the hour.

[stevielarson]

they said it was on the 7th in the first half which is right. unless my tickets are wrong, too. :drum:
if it was displayed in the top right i noticed that in the first half. nigel did say the next broadcast is august 7 though so just some idiot screwing up the ticker.

[DoubleUp]

nows preki's chance!

[SteeltownBhoy]

Sanyang on the ground.....I'm shocked!!!

[TFC USA]

Mista!!!!!!!!

And Sanyang comes off.

[Brooker]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah

[[NBF]]

numero diez

[stevielarson]

woooooooo

need to get mista put on my jersey, mostly cause <3 #10

[silverjelly]

Mista in!

[DoubleUp]

Told ya!!!!

[stevielarson]

john's towel looks pretty bloody

[silverjelly]

Gah, like three chances there!!!

[TFC USA]

God dammit. Close.

[[NBF]]

mista comes in and all of a sudden deguzman looks alive

[dantdot]

C'mon Santos...

[Brooker]

OHH dero right there doh.

[DoubleUp]

This is our 11.....do not disrespect these Gents by saying otherwise Minus Nana ofcourse

[Batman]

that should have been our goal. damn.

[TFC USA]

Sun is out literally minutes after Sanyang comes out.

[Brooker]

what is that bright stuff above the stadium

[dantdot]

Wow, Santos!

[silverjelly]

Santos!! Beauty!

[Batman]

wooooooohooooooooooo

[TFC USA]

SANTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

And a great pass by JDG.

[ag futbol]

Well deserved ... he worked hard all game, glad he got his goal.

[[NBF]]

nice goal by santos

Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Excellent. About time we scored a goal in this game. 1-0.

[Batman]

get outta here!:D

[H Bomb]

Santos has been better in his first 90 minutes with the club than any striker outside dichio this club has seen. Mista is also obviously better than pretty much everyone else on the team. With them playing prekis attempts at drawing every game may be thwarted!

[TFC USA]

This 4-3-3 = Win.

[AL-MO]

;1098973']unmark my words...pls

based on your ignoring of deguz's holdup of the ball, turn around his man, dribble up field, and pass to santos to set up that goal... i'll assume you haven't changed your mind yet.

funny because deguz has probably the best first touch and ball control on this team. really dunno what you've been watching. admittedly he hasn't had a great game but when it was pouring, its not easy to have the ball stick to your feet.

[ag futbol]

This ref is dense ... get him off the field already.

[[NBF]]

maybe its the change from world cup quality to mls quality thats affecting my judgement

[Batman]

theres got to be about 8 minutes of injury time coming up in this game. that coud be agonizing.

[Fushida]

;1098991']maybe its the change from world cup quality to mls quality thats affecting my judgement

definitely is. i try not to think about the world cup these days :drinking:

[TFC USA]

Garcia moved to left back. Uh oh.

[[NBF]]

did anyone notice the planters nuts ad banner

[Brooker]

way offside and still shot it into the new stands. shiiiiiiiit.

[TFC USA]

Garcia did not track any-fucking-body.

[silverjelly]

Aw man, Dero

I think Dero and Barret are done.

This is what happens when you waste opportunities...booo

was that garcias man?

That was always coming.

You can't roll up the windows with 25 minutes left and expect to absorb pressure like that.

This team let their guard down right after that goal.

yes.

Tfc Having A Mental Breakdown

[[NBF]]

heres comes "el goliador":(

[ag futbol]

Fuck. Nick. Garcia.
Wasn't impressed.. but really

Fuck Mo Johnston for being a useless twit. We picked up two guys who should be able to play that spot, they both suck balls.

[ilikemusic]

Was it Garcia who tried to make the pass to DeRo instead of just booting it upfield?

:facepalm:

Edit:

Cunningham is going to get the late winner. I just know it.

[Fushida]

i swear nigel reed called jacob peterson, "jacobson". the genius.

[LesH]

Preki, you're an idiot!
You hear me?
Go fuk yourself, because only an idiot coach is playing someone like Garcia.

I do not have anything with Garcia, he can't do more than what he does.
But you are the one who is putting him in, you are the idiot.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

[TFC USA]

Nearly lose the game

[silverjelly]

It really seems like Dallas will win....TFC is fading into the good night

[Brooker]

i swear nigel reed called jacob peterson, "jacobson". the genius.

Nigel Reed can call Jacob "I belong in an office" Peterson anything he wants.... I don't give a fuck.

[[NBF]]

damn, thats scary "Garcia, last man left for TFC......"

[[NBF]]

garcia is like a black jelly bean at the bottom of a bag.

[ag futbol]

Jesus that looked though to stop.

Thank god we have Frei

[ilikemusic]

Garcia saw Labrocca make a great defensive play and thought "I better get in there and fuck this up".

Preki cannot justify his presence in this team any longer.

[[NBF]]

keep garcia and drive brennan out, sounds like a logical move

[Brooker]

theres been about 60 seconds of football in the 5 minutes of extra time.

u know hes gonna blow it on the dot.

[Brooker]

maybe not! i like it!

[ag futbol]

If Cunningham scored there i would have lost my shit.

[DoubleUp]

This game should have been won, Preki got it wrong. Should of started with mista.

[ArmenJBX]

Garcia did nothing wrong today.

De Guzman was SHITE
