Have Gyan, Martina and Soolsma played in all 3 matches so far? If so, this could be a good indication that TFC is interested by seeing as much of them as possible.

21' Cordon's shot from 20-yards saved by goalkeeper. Soolsma and Martina have switched wings, both looking very lively and now causing problems for Dinamo's defence.

25' Free kick Dinamo Zagreb. Taken from near the corner flag, it's cleared for a corner by Gyan.

TFCDP
02-10-2011, 10:37 AM
26' Frei claims the Zagreb corner. A quick counter from TFC, the ball is played out and a great vision from Bouchiba switches play to Soolsma. Cross from Soolsma is met by Maicon but his header is weak.

TFCDP
02-10-2011, 10:40 AM
28' Corner for TFC. Soolsma takes it, Maicon rises high. Excellent header towards corner of the goal, but it produces a good save from the Dinamo keeper.

41' Red Card Dinamo Zagreb. It was for a bad challenge and the player is dismissed, but as it is a preseason friendly, a new player is allowed to come into the game as a replacement. No advantage for TFC.

37' Omphroy plays in Cordon but a Zagreb defender does well to halt the attack.

35' Soolsma with a great shot from the edge of the penalty area, saved well by the keeper and cleared behind by a Dinamo defender for a TFC corner ... which flies through the box untouched.

I'm disappointed with the start, but this has been a very different team, a couple errors at the beginning from young guys that are still learning at this point, is to be expected, and is great because it's something for winter to work on during the remainder of the preseason...

But come on please a second half goal would be nice :)

I don't understand this:


9' Second Red Card to Zagreb. Great ball by Plata to Peterson who is chopped down by a Zagreb player. Red card shown. Zagreb’s second of the match, but they bring on another player and it remains 11 vs 11 as per preseason friendly rules.


There were already TWO red cards to Zagreb??? When was the first one? That wasn't mentioned. I wonder who got sent off. Wow, two read cards in a friendly, I hope TFC doesn't end up with any serious injuries.

EDIT: Sorry, red cards were at 41' and 59' -- I got confused.

70' Great shot by Zagreb saved well by Frei and ball goes out for a corner. Corner cleared.

65' LaBrocca plays a ball over the top, Peterson runs onto it. Shows great pace and tries to chip the keeper but the effort goes over the bar.

2 red cards in a 20 min period, seems like it has come down to an eye for an eye, without the luck on our side. Go TFC

Kaz
02-10-2011, 12:07 PM
in all fairness I think if they were a man down for the entire second half it would have been a different game, we didn't play a strong side, and we scored in every single preseason match thus far, TFC didn't score last season in all of Preseason iirc. There is lots of great stuff to take away from this.

And a few young guys now know what to work on to get better, this is great all around everything.

I have a little hope for the coming season.

Lucky Strike
02-10-2011, 12:11 PM
Well if the first 2 goals Dinamo goals were a result of Garcia-esque or Velez-esque blunders, then discount those and the match went pretty well. If the coaching staff works on the big issues first such as this - then it's not unreasonable to conclude that things are coming together nicely.

Not bad against a strong team, while missing quite a few key players.

I'm sure the coaches will learn from this. Physicality is part of MLS, so they will need to take that into account.

Brooker
02-10-2011, 12:18 PM

I have no idea why somebody would be reckless in a training match. 2 red cards in a friendly is ridiculous.

exactly. iirc last year preseason we didn't score from open play (or at all) for quite a while.
from the sounds of it we've been playing possession and doing a decent job of it at that, promising indeed considering the number of new faces there are.

If TFC were at a level to be in winnable games against a team like Dinamo Zagreb I would say that's quite an improvement over last year.

The Dinamo squad is a joke. Nothing what they were 5 years ago, and those playing today were pretty much the no names of today's club.

Stryker
02-11-2011, 04:15 PM
Looking at the video Peterson's assisting low cross was actually a poorly struck, slow rolling pass along the ground straight to a Dinamo defender who by some miracle missed after tripping over his own feet.

I.E. Peterson still blows.
