Loved Frings.

Might buy my first ever player name jersey. It's either Frings or Bale at this point, might just have to get both :D

Did Frings just nail 'best single game performance by a TFC DP'? (http://www.wakingthered.com/2011/7/21/2286099/toronto-fc-0-1-fc-dallas-frings-looks-good-but-tfc-needs-more-time)

i think he might have. Lots of work still to be done pretty much all over the team, but not a terrible start to the latest new tfc.

So. . . . is the sky falling?
Or have we all learned to deal with a TFC loss is a calm, conscious, constructive manner?

my expectations have not changed since day 1:
WIN LOSE OR DRAW I HOPE TFC SCORES IN EVERY HOME GAME, so that I can celebrate it with all you fine folks. . . I hope to see another goal at BMO in the near future. . . . . it looks bright. . lets give these new lads a chance.

haha. What did you guys think overall? We should some more explosiveness, i felt like Johnson needed more of the ball, he looked like a solid acquisition. I'll be pleased to see Dunfield, Sturgis and Frings line up in the middle. All with very unique qualities.

Dunfield will be the bite and hussle this team needs. Why wasn't he match fit for last night anyways?

Thanks D, for posting the news.

I thought the result was predictable but there were some really good signs. Frings was great and looks like he will get better and Keovermans was out of gas pretty early and maybe should not have played the full 90. Viator looked like an ok central defender but I didn't like what I saw of him as a fullback. Those 3 cross attempts he made were horrible. When Eks comes back into the lineup, I play Iro and Viator in the middle and throw Youass at LB. At midfield, Frings, Dunfield and JDG. Up front I see Kovermans and whoever on the wings.

Shocking that Martina was not even on the bench!

The only reason was curiosity about the new players. I saw alot of German jerseys and flags. If no signings happened and given our past game performances it would have been around 16K I bet. If we continue on the losing streak it will come down again. I hope that doesn't happen of course. It was nice to see a full BMO again.

Yourassowsky and sturgis, 18 completed passes, combined! (http://www.wakingthered.com/2011/7/21/2286913/toronto-fc-v-fc-dallas-0-1-fcd-grind-out-road-win-v-new-look-tfc)

that and more tactical analysis of the game, provided by keeping a clean sheet (http://keeping-a-cleansheet.blogspot.com/) a blog doing tactical breakdowns of MLS games. some cool stuff.

I would trade Nathan Sturgis for Bobby Boswell, good MLS CB. Not starting in Houston because of the Talylor-Hainault pairing. We don't have any more roster spots, so we can't trade allocation or a draft pick and we don't have any more international roster spots. We could pair Iro with Boswell, could work. Anything is better than Harden starting with Iro. Earlier Houston traded a DM in Lovel Palmer to Portland.

Hi Guys,

Gianluca Zavarise and Mikael Yorassousaky are not on TFC's roster page. Is this a mistake or have they been released. Both played in yesterday's game. Can some one tweet Asif and ask him.

Thanks Guy's

I'm seems that we have 32 players on the roster, We know four of them are out for the year in Bouchiba, Lindsay, Cann and Williams. By that we have 28 on the roster. I guess we can sign two more players.
