We usually have a prediction thread for TFC's record at the end of the year. We'll close this thread before the Vancouver game, but that gives everyone interested a week to put together their predictions.

Remember, we've got a 34 game season this year.

I'll start.

13 wins, 7 draws, 14 losses. + win the VCup again.

I don't see us bettering last year
W-8 D-11 L-15

Caps take the Nutralite cup, no playoffs.

Team to get booed off the pitch within the first 3 home games, and BMO half empty by summer.

Not willing to put points down on W-D-L, but we'll make playoffs, barely.

TFC will have a fairly poor start, drawing the two expansion teams and then proceeding to drop a few games. We'll strengthen as April draws to a close, pick up steam in May, drop a whole bunch of games in June (Gold Cup call-ups), and be fighting for our lives the rest of the season.

But the team will persevere, and the play within the system will improve, especially with the similarities between the CMNT and TFC in playing style (call-ups will be staying in the system, regardless of whether they're with the team or not).

W8 - D8 - L18

lose to FCE and don't make NCC final.

BeachFC
03-13-2011, 02:36 PM
Can I be first to say?
W34 - D0 - L0

and win FIFA World Club Cup

...then wake up. That should always be the goal though right? But I'm optimistic about the year, it's a long season, and I think this management team will make positive changes all year long. For that reason I predict we will make playoffs and be a better then .500 club

Roogsy

12W - 10D - 12L

46 points and a spot in the :rolleyes: newly revamped playoffs.

And may I add, I don't believe we retain the NCC this year.

RedsYNWA
03-13-2011, 02:41 PM
14 wins 8 Draws 12 Losses 50 Points

Win V-Cup, Lose QF Champions League, Make Playoffs but lose in SF

Detroit_TFC
03-13-2011, 03:02 PM
11 wins, 10 draws, 13 losses. 43 pts.

Win NCC, in playoff play-in game but lose.

Further prediction: we get a DP striker in summer transfer window.

Blowing Bubbles
03-13-2011, 03:32 PM
40 points, no playoffs

win V-cup

Get into group play at CCL

my assumption is that we don't sign a game-changing DP striker. If we do then I'd expect us to squeak into playoffs.

03-13-2011, 03:36 PM
10 wins, 10 draws, 14 losses. + No VCup

Oh ya I am positive!

11 Wins 14 Draws 9 Losses = 47 points = Playoffs

Win V-Cup

After what we have been through the past 4 seasons all bets are off.
A lot depends on how well the players hang together as a team and keep away from dissension and "Me First" behavior.

36 points, no playoffs, 16th overall.
win v-cup, make group stage, poor league positiion allows us to concentrate on this, new style works better outside of mls and we take advantage of a weak group too finish 2nd and get to the quarter finals.

Quality of football will improve a bit, maybe make playoffs but not go far. Not win nutralite, Vancouver will.

Don't want to get into any hard numbers, but as the trend looks to me right now, I predict a lot of draws - notably a higher average of scoreless games. We'll take the NCC but I can't really say how far will get into the CCL. Playoffs are doubtful, even with the new playoff scheme.

This could be the make-or-break year for the club. If we don't make playoffs or just flat-out stink things up during the regular season I think the club is going to lose a LOT of casual fans and they simply won't be coming back. Yes, I agree that Winter and Mariner need more than a season to build this team, but not everyone is as patient as most of us are.

It will be absolutely vital that we defeat Vancouver. I cannot stress that enough. The last thing TFC needs is the second Canadian team beating us out in total points or wins against us.

In first 22 games we are at 6-4-12, we get 2 new players when the transfer window opens and end the season strong at 6-4-2.

End season at 12-8-14 with 44 points and make playoffs (but we lose to Edmonton)

I'm going to go with 9 W, 11 D, 14 L, winning the V-Cup but barely. I wish I thought they'd do better. I guess I'd rather be pleasantly surprised then let down.

Whoop
03-15-2011, 02:01 PM
If there is one thing you can count on in the MLS is draws.

8 W 9 L 17 D

Win Voyageurs Cup

Originally went with 9 W 9 L 16 D but see that Darlofletch did that already. LOL

Oldtimer

Caps take the V-Cup, and makes the playoffs. TFC just misses out.

15 wins - 8 draws - 7 losses

-Nutrilite Canadian Champions

Too much:stogey: Jimmy!

Methinks more like: 7 wins; 12 draws; 15 losses; Canadian Champions; fail to make it past CCL qualifying.

10W - 11 draws - 13 losses. If it means anything, EA Sports predicts TFC will finish behind Vancouver in points based on this Fan 590 Article (slow news day I guess..).

Toronto 9-8-17 (35 points). Vancouver 10-9-15 (39 points).

35 brad (8-11-15)
33 DangerRed (7-12-15) VCup
32 MG42 (8-8-18)

IMO anyone who predicted the VCup should have a +/- 1 either way. With no offense to brad of MG42, if TFC win on Saturday, Darlofletch is the winner and if its a tie or a loss, DangerRed gets it.

My $0.02

But I want to win the Internet competition - come on New England!!!!:)

Just kidding - I'll happily trade my personal glory for a last home win.

I did predict BMO would be half empty by summer though - can I get half a point for that?
