TFC NEEDS to win this match and by a few goals. The 2nd leg will be at their place and their refs are also the local sheriffs. Seattle got HOMERED last night down in Panama and were lucky to come out with a one goal deficite.

Tough to tell really. The boys in the back have been alright, haven't had much to do and Esteli hasn't really put them under any sort of pressure. Simple passing out of the back.

Stinson has seemed comfortable through the midfield, physical.

Good game to get their feet wet then. Thanks! Listening to the game (at work), but it's tough to get off ball impressions from play by play (obviously)

Soolsma's lack of pace absolutely kills our attack in the final third. We create very little danger out wide unless the fullbacks start making overlapping runs .

Not a bad half, but this team looks pretty confused in the final third.

QSIM

One way traffic with nothing to show. Funny how that was almost expected. We need to just bring it direct to these guys, doesn't look like slow build up will break them down. Bright half from Johnson, but where did Koev go hiding?

We need something to spark this half. Subs?

SirBobSaget

Zavarise and Stinson killed every offensive play passing through them. 3 goals or bust next half. Better be seeing plata and deguz to start next half

Yes, he is always a step ahead with his mind. It's like he wants to do it, you can see it, but he can't. It's like he plays hungover, maybe he does...
