Toronto FC @ Chivas USA Sat pre-match/match thread

[Oldtimer]

Players playing for jobs next year for both teams.

So who is going to shine?


Intro

Both Chivas USA and Toronto FC have been eliminated from the 2010 MLS playoffs, but that doesn't mean the match is meaningless. Saturday’s game will likely be a tense affair, with each side looking to salvage some pride after a tough season as well as begin the retooling process for next year.

The Goats have never lost to Toronto at the Home Depot Center and have no intention of doing so this weekend, while TFC will be eager to improve on their poor 2-2-9 road record.http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2010/10/toronto-locks-horns-goats

[ensco]

The tension mounts.

Will the record be broken?

Will this be the worst TFC TV ratings ever?

btw it's amusing that the team's own site has eliminated TFC, when that isn't strictly true. Not that I'm arguing the point.

[Shakes McQueen]

That might be the saddest introduction to try and gin up interest in a sporting event I've ever heard.

Watch two ferocious opponents try to... salvage pride. And eagerly attempt to improve on their 2-2-9 road record. And "begin the retooling process".

Riveting stuff.

This SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY. Pay for a whole seat, BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE.

[TFC USA]

I've given up. I almost don't care if they win or not.

3-0 loss.

[swan]

it's the wife's birthday, so i will be out and miss this game but i'm sure i won't miss much..

[Carts]

If anything we can grab our first win against Chivas in LA...

[swan]

i went all the way there to see tfc play chivas and they lost but if they win tomorrowand get their first win there i won't be to mad

[Keystone FC]

If anything we can grab our first win against Chivas in LA...
Not to metion that the Fire BEAT the sCREWups tonight which puts the Fire ahead of us in the standings.
I at least, or the most, want TFC to finish 3rd in the East and a win, with a Wizard loss, will do that.

[Super Cereal]

Couldn't give a ****. Not fair-weather, just fed up with management.

[MartinUtd]

So they've already used the "never beaten" line for Chivas.. what are they going to pull out of the hat for the Columbus game?

[rocker]

playing it up: "Two of Preki's former teams clash in LA LA Land." ;)

[__wowza]

fuck it, this game looks much more interesting..

^Yikes.

[MartinUtd]

LOL @ "Skeletor"

[werewolf]

time to play for a draft pick :)

[Blizzard]

The tension mounts.

Will the record be broken?

Will this be the worst TFC TV ratings ever?


We'll never know, it's on GOL and they don't release their numbers.

[sampace]

I'd like to see Dwayne DeRosario write another cheque out of town!

[denime]

time to play for a draft pick :)

Agree 100%

[Blizzard]

Agree 100%

Uhh, no. Tanking is not an option. Play for pride ... and future employment!

[menefreghista]

This team is doing a pretty good job of tanking all on its own. Did anyone see the 24th minute blog about MLS standings after August 1? http://www.24thminute.com/2010/10/mls-standings-from-aug-1.html

Speaking of ratings, I would like to know what the game v Seattle did on CBC. I know the San Jose game was in the 80,000s.

[gtaguy]

anyone have a link to watch this game. I can't seem to find any

[bgnewf]

San Jose up 1-nil

[bgnewf]

Now 2-nil early in 2nd half. Wondoloski with his second of the game

[TFC07]

I hope TFC just play the kids for rest of the season.

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

A San Jose win or tie and TFC is officially out, correct?

[bgnewf]

A San Jose win or tie and TFC is officially out, correct?

Correct. If San Jose earns one more point then TFC can't catch them even of they run the table.

[London]

0.0606 percent i think its finaly over

[lintberg]

Game over San Jose win 2 nil...TFC is officially out.

[ArmenJBX]

It's over :(

It's goddamn over :(

[Chevy]

^^ Look on the bright side. Now we can unleash the beast that is Gabe Gala.

[bgnewf]

That useless twat Mista should be forced to not only play every second of every game between now and the end of the season he should be forced to do the team laundry and throw out the slop bucket (if there is a slop bucket of course). Injuries my ass.

There are three games left for us to at least get some fucking value back on this waste of flesh...

[London]

well gol tv is all pixilated here,

guess they dont want me to watch

[James17930]

I think the only 'great' things that could happen now are if De Ro could win the Golden Boot and if Chad could surpass ten goals.

Everything else would be, as has been said, watching how well the kids do.

[billyfly]

Game over San Jose win 2 nil...TFC is officially out.

'bout time.

[James17930]

Here we go.

Yay.

[James17930]

We need players who can think quicker. Why did Chad pull back there?

[Azerban]

whatever

we brought him in for half a year just in case he was a useless sack of flesh

[Blizzard]

Yes. He cost us some money but at least it is short term. It's sad that a guy with such skill would be so uncommitted to the club paying him a pretty decent wage.

[Pigfynn]

wow...that was...wow

[TOBOR !]

Thes GOL TV commentators are pure crap.

[James17930]

Is it just me, or is the field at the HDC not as wide as it used to be?

[Pigfynn]

I don't agree Tobor.

The season is over, DeVos and Wilman are having a good little chat about the dedication of certain players and hinting at who should stay or go.

I'm being entertained.

I like DeVos. He was a vey good defender and had a ton of character as a player. I respect what he says...and with the fucking gong show we have for a team, we need input from people who know football.

[TOBOR !]

who's the other guy ? [edit] - sorry - you already said... it's Luke Wileman, isn't it... I dunno - it's just not working for me today.

I agree. Additionally, I'll take Wileman over Nige or Dobson any day of the week.

At least he actually called play-by-play in England for BBC Radio. Nigel was a "presenter" as they call them over 'ome.

[TFC/Everton]

This is the first game in a long time that means nothing. Last year it came down to the wire in NY(Worst game in TFC history). Now we have to play the last 3 games for no reason. I dont even know if I will cheer if they score tonight.... whats the point

[James17930]

it's been working out.

But I mean, it used to be 80 yards wide, right? now it looks 75. Anyone know for sure?

[bgnewf]

Fucking Mista never even made the trip to LA... Team says he has a "foot contusion"... He must have bruised his foot when he dropped his fucking wallet on it.

[sampace]

I wanna see Dwayne's new sign the cheque Chicken Dance goal celebration!!! Either on Chivas or on his own net!!!!

L.O.L.

[James17930]

Chad's having 'one of those games'.

[TOBOR !]

^ I was thinking that. He's been working hard - getting into position, but just now he slows down to allow the Chivas defense to catch up... and earlier he was only saved by a phantom offside call (admittedly, the pass from Peterson wasn't the best).

[James17930]

And now we know why.

[bgnewf]

Mista - 9 MLS League appearances - 0 goals

In comparison to some former TFC "superstars" (who all got a significantly lower wage)

Laurent Robert - 17 MLS League appearances - 1 goal
Pablo Vitti - 26 MLS League appearances - 2 goals
Colin Samuel - 19 MLS League appearances - 2 goals


I can't believe that that guy got almost a million, and that Robert, Vitti and Mr. "He ate all the pies" Samuel all scored more goals than the Spaniard.

[Blizzard]

^ I was thinking that. He's been working hard - getting into position, but just now he slows down to allow the Chivas defense to catch up... and earlier he was only saved by a phantom offside call (admittedly, the pass from Peterson wasn't the best).

That last build-up and through ball was our best flowing play of the season but Chad couldn't finish it off ... and now we know why as we watch him being subbed off favouring his leg.

[Azerban]

chad barrett will score 10 goals in 2011

[TOBOR !]

I agree. Additionally, I'll take Wileman over Nige or Dobson any day of the week.

At least he actually called play-by-play in England for BBC Radio. Nigel was a "presenter" as they call them over 'ome.

it's okay - I know what's going on - I'm watching the Fox feed. I thought they didn't sound like DeVos and Wileman. Carry on.

[James17930]

chad barrett will score 10 goals in 2011

If he can stay healthy.

[TOBOR !]

and surely that was a two-footed lunge by Chivas there.

[Pigfynn]

boooooooooo

[TOBOR !]

typical

[Blizzard]

it's okay - I know what's going on - I'm watching the Fox feed. I thought they didn't sound like DeVos and Wileman. Carry on.

LOL. Too funny. :D

[TOBOR !]

^it's all Justin TV to me. I assumed I was watching the GOL feed. Duh.

[ArmenJBX]

This has been the worst season for me personally.

I can't believe no one complains about this, but the test for next year for me will depend on this:

If anyone, ANYONE, passes back to the goalkeeper when there's no need, and he kicks it up field and gives away possession, I will eat my TV.


STOP BACKPASSING TO THE KEEPER! It's Amateur!

Well, now that Preki is gone we are back to our previus system, Kick and rush baby,all night long.:facepalm:

Apparently Preki ball was boring,this Daso ball is discussing,I think I will go and watch some CSL playoffs next few week I heard they do play possession soccer like the rest of world.

[TOBOR !]

I might be listening to Max Bretos... :(

[TOBOR !]

screw jogging over to 112 and clapping... we're the true fans - sitting at home and watching this online, listening to FSC blah, blah, blah.

[prizby]

chad barrett will score 10 goals in 2011

chad barrett has scored 7 in the league this year? + 2 vs. Motagua + 1 in NCC

that = 10

Chad Barrett will score 10 goals in 2010


oh wait he did ;)

[Pigfynn]

tell me when it's back on

[ArmenJBX]

Even when Preki was here we had an unimaginable amount of back passes to Frei.

I guarantee you Frei has kicked the ball the most out of every keeper in this league.

[James17930]

:facepalm: :picard: :facepalm: :picard: :facepalm: :picard: :facepalm: :picard:
Off the post.

[jloome]

THe backpass thing is due to a lack of movement into space. TFC players aren't willing to run at opponents. They've been counselled to caution to an extreme.

Gahd, Maicon Santos' finishing is crap tonight.

[Azerban]

chad barrett has scored 7 in the league this year? + 2 vs. Motagua + 1 in NCC

that = 10

Chad Barrett will score 10 goals in 2010


oh wait he did ;)

meant in the league but ok that's cool

[fiji_blue]

Dero greay ball to Santos

[ArmenJBX]

Exactly, we get trapped in our own defense. That's just sad. The players have no idea how to create space for each other, and it's showing.

[TOBOR !]

:facepalm::pic ard: - LOL

[Pigfynn]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[fiji_blue]

Garcia u suck, did u make that run up

[jloome]

Tough to argue several of our players quite clearly don't WANT to come back next year.

[David_Oliveira]

Fuck. That all started with a miss play from Garcia. He had a streak there of good games. He had to wreck it with that play

[TOBOR !]

Fuck. That all started with a miss play from Garcia. He had a streak there of good games. He had to wreck it with that play

yeah. he just killed the new thread I started in one move.

[David_Oliveira]

clean challenge by Cann. Too bad a Braun got hurt. I never like to see a player get hurt like that

[TOBOR !]

NVM Barrett scoring 10 goals in one season, Santos could've had that many tonight.

[Pigfynn]

DeGuzman, if you do that fucking stupid little turn one more time... I swear :hulk:

[David_Oliveira]

What happened to the team at half time? Total opposite

[TOBOR !]

I haveta get up and go get another beer, but I'm afraid I'll miss some good comedy... you can see my dilemma.

[Azerban]

What happened to the team at half time? Total opposite

daso gave a demotivational speech

[Pigfynn]

Nick Garcia is a fucking donkey and it will be a joy to watch his untalented ass get thrown out this offseason

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

daso gave a demotivational speech

It went something like this "Turns out we all get paid even if we lose".

[TOBOR !]

It went something like this "Turns out we all get paid even if we lose".

Dammit - see ? that's what I meant. ffs.

[James17930]

Jesus fucking god christ. Again with these fucking offside calls.

[SirBobSaget]

It went something like this "Turns out we all get paid even if we lose".

These guys are getting paid???? for playing soccer?

[jloome]

Usual ridiculous foul imbalance.

I swear, we get jobbed just for being the Canadian team.

[James17930]

Lindsay's gotta learn to make his decisions quicker too.

[denime]

Usual ridiculous foul imbalance.

I swear, we get jobbed just for being the Canadian team.

We are geting jobbed because we don't know how to play this beautiful game.

[David_Oliveira]

I don't think we can count on Maicon as a starter. His speed and endurance have really dropped this half. Next year he should be used as a supper sub, coming in at the 60 mark and destroying their back line

[SirBobSaget]

O'brian WHIIIITTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEE!!!!! game on CHivas, game on

[Pigfynn]

I don't think we can count on Maicon as a starter. His speed and endurance have really dropped this half. Next year he should be used as a supper sub, coming in at the 60 mark and destroying their back line

agree 100%

[James17930]

I don't think we can count on Maicon as a starter. His speed and endurance have really dropped this half. Next year he should be used as a supper sub, coming in at the 60 mark and destroying their back line

I agree -- but of course we need to find someone to replace him as a starter.

OBW is not that guy.

[TOBOR !]

inspired substitution - O'Brian Wide for Nick Gar-see-ya

[SirBobSaget]

So smashing a guy in the nose with an elbow, maybe breaking it a little, is a foul i guess, maybe even a yellow.

[James17930]

So an elbow to the face is only a yellow now? Interesting.

[James17930]

Oh fuck -- we have no more subs.

[David_Oliveira]

I agree -- but of course we need to find someone to replace him as a starter.

OBW is not that guy.

DP Striker of Course :D

[SirBobSaget]

Make yourself useful White and elbow someone in the face

[TOBOR !]

unreal. I bet Alan Gordon's brothers at ISR will be watching this in the big screen. How can that not be a straight red. If Adrian comes back on I'm changing my vote for MotY to him.

[David_Oliveira]

Dichio just get sent off

[James17930]

The officiating in this league is actually, seriously -- I'm really not joking -- making it near impossible for me to watch it.

Good red card for Dichio! :D

[denime]

DICHIO SENT OFF! No wonder he is TFC Legend

[David_Oliveira]

This ref is a fucking joke

[James17930]

This is becoming a farce.

[SirBobSaget]

Just kick them in the faces, its obviously fair game out there since the ref has his head elsewhere. Well I guess they are paying attention to sideline profanity since Dichio got the boot

[TOBOR !]

this is olde tyme football now - back in my day we had no substitutes [/old man voice]

[David_Oliveira]

Unbelievable!!! Now the card comes out

[Pigfynn]

DeRo out vs Columbus! OMG

[James17930]

Hockey game breaking out here.

[David_Oliveira]

Hockey game breaking out here.

Frei needs to drop the gloves then lol

[TOBOR !]

can no-one on this team deliver a properly weighted ball into the goal area ?

[swan]

whats the score

[David_Oliveira]

1-0 Chivas

[SirBobSaget]

Leafs game was good

[TOBOR !]

the league better review that Gordon elbow and heap a huge fine / suspension on that dirty fucker.

[Pigfynn]

Hey TFC! see what happens when you keep dribbling towards goal?

[James17930]

can no-one on this team deliver a properly weighted ball into the goal area ?

Santos.

Problem is he's supposed to be in the box at those moments.

So . . . cloning?

[James17930]

Okay De Ro -- let's re-do Houston.

[TFC USA]

Game the fuck over.

[David_Oliveira]

Done watching 2-0

[fiji_blue]

TFC making away crowds happy around the league every year

[James17930]

And there's Frei's worst moment of the season.

[Pigfynn]

Well there you go guys, we play the same when there's nothing to play for compared to when there is.

SHite is Shite

[TOBOR !]

Really. Hating. These. Fox. Pundits. Right. Now.

[jloome]

Embarassing capitulation.

They should be ashamed to collect their cheques this week.

Fucking DeGuzman. Why doesn't he challenge that shot?

[SirBobSaget]

France amazing game, Leafs amazing game, TFC + MLS refereeing super fail.

[TOBOR !]

LOL from Lindsay there.

[TOBOR !]

"It's a game of two halves".

[TOBOR !]

goodnight

[SirBobSaget]

The academy signings have been as useful as the Mista signing. Get a decent GM and maybe this team gets turned around by 2012 Burke style (minus the Kessel trade)

[Azerban]

lol if you care even a little

[David_Oliveira]

When the fuck are we going to get a fucking unbiased ref? I'm not even wanting one who calls a game in our favour. I'm just asking for one who calls it down the middle. This ref should be ashamed of himself. He is a joke just like the rest of the refs in the MLS.

[sampace]

No DeRo money chicken dance tonight! Those announcers really love DeRo, they should sign him up for the broadcast booth!

[Pigfynn]

T E R R I B L E
M U R I E L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[rocker]

No DeRo money chicken dance tonight! Those announcers really love DeRo, they should sign him up for the broadcast booth!

Fox announcers?

On GolTV Devos was all over DeRo at the end, showing how two DeRo giveaways led to goals.

[TOBOR !]

to be fair I think those dirty bastards got two of their goals after Cann went off.

edit - to fix embarrassing spelling error.

[Carts]

Wow Devos - could you be more jealous... :(

[spot-on]

Wow. What shit. Utter, utter shit. That's all I can say really. This team is brutal, the refs are clueless, and we are back to square one.

[LesH]

This was another fucking ridiculous TFC game.

[LesH]

Wow. What shit. Utter, utter shit. That's all I can say really. This team is brutal, the refs are clueless, and we are back to square one.


Sorry my friend, you are wrong.
We are not back to square one, but we are still at square one.

TFC never ever left square one since it was founded in 2006. :(

[Hooligan69]

With incompetent management and players who clearly don't give a damn, Toronto FC proving to be a consistent failure comes as no surprise. Eventually this will be reflected in the stands at BMO when the boys are playing in an empty stadium.

[Auzzy]

Any mods around to close this thread? The post-shite thread is open.

[Blizzard]

Yes, they did. Playing a man down on the road is not exactly a recipe for success. The ref could have evened it up if he wasn't incompetent and had given Gordon the red he deserved.

[Auzzy]

Dead thread walking...

Dead thread walking...

good one, but who'll have the last word (cue cheeky Mod to close thread while saying 'Me') ?

Maybe dead thread, but still performing better on the interwebs than TFC on the pitch... :rolleyes:
