Let's try and forget 2009. The 'Miracle in Montreal' was a joyous night for TFC. It was also an embarrassing moment for Canadian professional soccer. The tournament rules and format have been revamped to ensure such a situation never recurs.

It still rankles with Whitecaps coach Teitur Thordarson.

Nah, I rather enjoy remembering it. Especially the part where Vancouver watched the lads walk off with the cup.

Biggest game of the year. I hope a precursor to even bigger games in the Champions League.

Tough turnaround from a game in Colorado while the Caps were resting up. We need Gordon and Tchani in the lineup.

Frei
Eckersley-Williams-Cann-Yourass
Tchani-DeGuz-Stevanovic
Martina-Gordon-Soolsma

Only problem is much of this lineup played in Colorado. I wouldn't mind seeing Nana back in for Williams for fresher legs. Maybe work Santos in for one of Martina or Soolsma for the same reason. Plata has been playing much and would be a good spark plug off the bench if we should need a goal late.

I wonder if Cann needs a break? Almost caused another penalty vs. Colorado. Maybe pair Nana (or even Harden) with Williams????

Tchani & Gordon may still be injured, we shall see.

It was a straight legit penalty. Cann got lucky. (plus that Amarikwa twat was flopping the entire half)

makes us proud, TFC! time for the 12th man to stand up and be counted.

would like to see tchani or peterson back in mid, then yourass at lb, but if neither of them were even fit enough to sit on the bench, forcing us to leave a spot completely empty, I can't see them coming back and being good enough to start just 3 days later. yourass looked good in midfield though, and gargan's been ok at lb.

agree that cann looks like he needs a rest, he has done for 2 or 3 games now, but I'd be stunned to see him rested.

also can't see gordon jumping straight into the starting line up, so given we need something more than three wingers up top, I think santos will start.

we've been looking better recently, at least to start, then there's a pattern of fading in the last 20, 30 minutes or so. so hopefully we can get a goal early, as I could very easily see vancouver scoring late as we tire.

I like it when this happens...

A legit penalty was not given b/c a guy was flopping all over the place - Karma is a bitch...

Videos like this should be shown to young kids growing up...

Look at this twat, dives here, dives there, earns 45-yard free kick - get chopped down in the box and NO CALL! Why? b/c he's a diving twat and the ref had enough...

Lesson kids - don't be a DIVING TWAT!

If only it was that easy... LOL

If I was a betting man, I'd wager that Winter will go with this lineup:

----------------Frei-----------------

Eckersley-Williams-Cann-Yourassowsky

Peterson--------JDG-----------Tchani

Soolsma-------Santos-----------Plata


If Tchani and Peterson are unavailable:

----------------Frei-----------------

Eckersley--Williams--Cann-----Borman

Sturgis---------JDG-----Yourassowsky

Soolsma-------Santos-----------Plata

peterson is an example of guys who should ride the bench until further notice based on how well the younger variety showed pace and hunger on sunday night.

there is no reason to start peterson instead of yourass in any case.

I think that with Williams soon to be off to the Gold Cup we need to get Nana in to give him game time. I like the competition for spots on this team this year, although there seems to still be bare spots on the roster. We will also have to fill JDG's place for the Gold Cup. It should be an interesting game, a challenge regardless of the tough talk and despite Vancouver's MLS record they have some decent players.

Peterson has a good work ethic but he is taking all the set plays and frankly, they have been poor service on the dead balls. We need a better quality option for free kicks and corners. Its a real weakness for us

I'm worried about this match tonight because of the fatigue factor. I hope the players with knocks are healthy enough to give Winter some depth to work with.

On the positive side, if TFC can put in a performance similar to the effort in Colorado, the boys will be tough to beat on home soil.

I'd like to see a midfield of JDG between Stevanovic and Yourass. Arguably our most technically skilled players with experience in our "system". We should be able to control the middle of the park with these guys imo.

Is the away goals rule in effect tonight?

JonO
05-25-2011, 09:44 AM
^ I believe so. From Section III(6) of the Rules:

If the two teams involved in a match score the same number of goals over the two legs, the team which scores more away goals is determined as the winner. If this procedure does not produce a result, i.e. if both teams score the same number of goals at home and away, two 15-minute periods of extra time are played at the end of the second leg. If, during extra time, both teams score the same number of goals, away goals count double (i.e. the visiting club qualifies). If no goals are scored during extra time, kicks from the penalty mark in accordance with the FIFA Laws of the Game will be used to determine the winner.

^ I believe so. From Section III(6) of the Rules:



If TFC win (outscore) the Caps then TFC wins the series. If the whitecaps win (outscore) us then they take it.

If the 90 mins end and they are 1-1, the match goes to extra time and/or P/K's. If it is 0-0 at the end of 90 then TFC wins. If it is 2-2 (or any number of goals greater than 1-1) at the end of 90 Whitecaps get it.

So the only way we see extra time is a 1-1 score after 90 mins

TFC1154ever
05-25-2011, 10:32 AM
Also remember that if it does go to extra time and vancouver score, it still counts as an away goal and we would have to score 2 to win, as 1 would give them the win on away goals.

The Cubs have, more often than not, been a good team over the last 30 years.

Going to a game at Wrigley is like a trip to heaven.

The sad sack city in US sports is Cleveland.
