Guys, Im starting to see Winter's tactic and if we have the right players (even in 1-2 years time) we can boss many of the lower MLS teams with ease, maybe even beating the top teams frequently.

And if we bring on 2 defensive players after 60 mins, along with a quick impact forward player, this team will become much harder to play against with tired legs.

Peterson tracking back is also helpful. I cant help to think that maybe Harden will enable the Timber to score one back.

Anyone else catch the Portland commentators comment, " Toronto fans are one of the best in the league. They were the Seattle Sounders before Seattle was in the league." Gee thanks, we owe it all to Seattle.

He also said TFC raised ticket prices which is why there are so many empty seats - "you wouldn't have seen that many empty seats before"

HALF TIME REPORT

Toronto FC's first half saw Javier Martinascore his first Toronto FC goal, putting the Reds up 1-0 at half time.

Portland Timber's have amassed quite a few corners, but have not capitalized on them. Long-range efforts have been the closest they've gotten to scoring.

Toronto FC left-back Mikael Yourassowsky has been impressive, darting up the left flank and consistently giving captain Dwayne De Rosario an option for the pass.

A heated scuffle between Maicon Santos and Kenny Cooper was quickly resolved.

Adrian Cann has improved from his performance against Vancouver.

TSN's video issues, which were slightly annoying, have seemingly resolved.

TORONTO FC 1-0 PORTLAND TIMBERS
Javier Martina 16'

I think anyone whining so far is nuts. We've had 52% of the possession, we're up a goal and we've looked dangerous several times. What fucking league do you think you're watching?

Jesus, after last week's shitshow, I find this reaction a bit contemptible.

We can take the first past as a complement,

as for the empty seats, possibly having a game when its -15 windchill and a team that sucked for 4 years, the preseason, and last week, has something to do with it too.

but anyway... we're winning

Different game from last week in Vancouver, where Toronto dominated possesion yet never had the lead. Today, our side is 1-0 at half yet are spending most of the time in their own end. If Portland wasn't an expansion side, TFC would problably be dead by now.

you do have to consider however that a large portion of our possession has been in our own half, even though we're 1-0 up that's a dangerous way to play.

Lesson for MLSE - don't treat your fans like crap. It has a habit of coming back to bite you.
To let you guys know, I was on the Red list since season 1. I've been lucky enough to get to see games in past seasons because relatives have season tickets. This year MLSE finally emailed me that I had choice in 3 price groups for season tickets. I declined. About a month later they emailed me, I could buy half season packs, I declined. A couple of weeks after that they emailed me, I could buy single game tickets before they went onsale to the general public.

So yeah there is a softening in ticket availability.

We let an expansion team come into BMO and basically boss us for a good 20-25 minute stretch in the first half after our goal.

We need someone in mid-field to win balls, we're doing good at the back breaking down their attacks, but it shouldn't even be getting to that point, if you cut off Portland's link to Cooper, who is gonna score goals for them?

yep, and how many free kicks and corners have they had?

Overall... I guess the game has been pretty even, but were a bit lucky for the score.

I think it's great that we're up at the half. The wife and I have been talking all week about how scoring shouldn't be an issue this week, we've just been waiting to see what adjustments Winters makes on the defensive side of the ball. So far we like the energy Yourassowsky brings.
