I know they just started doing this but, if possible, does anyone know how soon after the game it will be on Youtube? I am not going to be home at gametime but hoping I can watch it later on that night.

[Ajax TFC]

I want to see Bekker partnering Frings in CM to start.

TFC sent a tweet implying that Frings will play, so maybe.

What happened for the last game was that the entire match was streamed live on a youtube link and then, after the game ended, it was available to watch in its entirety on that same page. So I'm assuming that the same will be the case for tomorrow, and you'll be able to watch the game right after, or shortly after, it actually finishes. Who knows, you might even be able to watch it from the beginning while it is still in play. The future is now, bitches.

[Carts]

TFC sent a tweet implying that Frings will play, so maybe.

It'll definitely be nice to see Frings back in the lineup (pre-season or not) if he does indeed play...

Fingers crossed he's all healed up, fueled up, and ready to come back...

[Yohan]

I'd be surprised if TFC won vs Orlando City. OC is in D3, but plays like a D2 team. You can see why TFC wanted Adrian Heath, their manager. Well organized side that pushed Philly hard on Sat and unlucky to only come away with a draw.

Oh oh, board meltdown for sure...

[Yohan]

Bendik confirmed for Wed game. Hopefully Roberts gets some action too

[tfcleeds]

We are playing Orlando, right? Just want to make sure. If you've been reading Kurt Larson the last couple of days, he says we're playing Philadelphia. Guess he's been misinformed.

[Klinsmann]

I read we are playing Philly on Sat (3rd game).

[Ajax TFC]

Guess [Larson's] been misinformed.
I guess that's what happens when you get your information from Paul Mariner :drinking:

[Detroit_TFC]

I would not be surprised by a loss. I agree with Yohan, these games are far more meaningful to OCSC and they show more drive to win. Everyone on our team is playing for their spot, can't imagine much free flowing fb coming out of that.

[dutch]

theyll bring it, jobs are on the line. I was hoping we'd see frei with one of those hannibal lecter nose pieces. I hope they embarass heath, only one chance this year.

[jloome]

All the other games are being streamed as well at mlssoccer.com The Columbus Few are currently whipping Philly 4-0 just into the second half.

[TOBOR !]

theyll bring it, jobs are on the line. I was hoping we'd see frei with one of those Christine Sinclair (FUCK YEAH !)nose pieces. I hope they embarass heath, only one chance this year.

fixed your post

[Joe Kool]

They just mentioned at the end of the Montreal Impact game that there is a chance they won't be streaming the next two games because of the bad weather rolling in. That would suck to not be able to see the game. Looks like a good storm is brewing there though. Can anyone say 10AM replay due to lightning....it is Toronto that is playing afterall. I thought we were going to save the weather machine for more meaningful cup competitions.

DC and SKC playing right now, and already stream problems. Might not get the TFC game at all

[ag futbol]

You using the YouTube feed from mlssoccer.com ? Haven't had any problems as of yet

[OgtheDim]

Camera work is..interesting. Like watching Rogers do high school football. Oh, and somebody facebooked (I'm verbing it today.....too much Valentine's stuff) the starting lineup as

Starting XI: Bendik; Eckersley, Califf, O'Dea, Bassi; Lambe, Bekker, Hall, Cabrera; Silva, Braun

[Kaz]

No commentary due to weather related equipment damage one camera only. They are apparently hoping to get things fixed at some point. (For late comers)

[ag futbol]

wtf they are playing right now but the camera isn't following, lol

[notthesun]

No sound and a positively horrible camera angle. Might just not even bother watching...

[dantdot]

Camera operator, you're drunk, go home.

[Batman]

no sound, terrible camera work, lovely!

[Batman]

I'm getting motion sickness. :puke:

[tfcleeds]

Alas, this is unwatchable. Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing the match tonite. Oh well, I'll be checking in from time to time for the score.

[Batman]

seems like orlando is having all of the posession so far

[Alonso]

Looks like the camera man took half a bottle of whisky to steady his hand a bit....

At least we aren't looking at clouds and zooming in on grass anymore at least...

This is almost now watchable.









Someone make him finish the whole bottle!

[Kaz]

ya they are running them selves ragged giving very little space.

Of course we have no significant threat up top right now.. so I don't see the point.

[Dkolish3]

The only useful observation I have is that we are consistently pressuring the ball

[ag futbol]

Down she goes, or maybe the TFC PR department just wanted to pull the plug a little early, lol

edit: nevermind back now

[Alonso]

That was some shit D right there...

Orlando should have scored.

[Yohan]

TFC making Orlando City look like Real Madrid or something

[cochrdoc]

Who is the MLS team and the Div3 .Orlando really moving the ball wide and forward.Have we had anything at goal yet

[Nerepis]

I think I need help with my addiction... maybe a 12 step program tomorrow. This is definitely the equivalent of an alcoholic drinking Lysol.

[Red CB Toronto]

You got to love Joe Bendik, the era begins tonight !!!, with no sound I have opened up another window playing the great version of Nothing Else Matters, by the Scala and Kolacny Brothers, it brings such emotion to this night.

[Alonso]

seems like orlando is having all of the posession so far


Looks that way.

We can't get out of midfield.

[Morlesio14]

cmon boys

[Dkolish3]

The only useful observation I have is that we are consistently pressuring the ball

Also we have trouble keeping possession

Good idea... Doing the same...

Yeah your right! Way better.

[Red CB Toronto]

Yeh sound mother fuckers

[Kaz]

sound

and who is in number 8? Bekker?

[ouderwien]

Audio is up!

[Morlesio14]

no problem

[Red CB Toronto]

I really enjoy Cory Gibb's broadcast style, would love to see if the Reds could talk to about making a comeback.

[Morlesio14]

whos number 37?

[ouderwien]

sound

and who is in number 8? Bekker?

Yes!

Bendik (12)
Ecks (27) Califf (3) O'Dea (48) Bassi (37)*A
Lambe (19) Bekker (8) Hall (25) Caberara (16)
Silva (11)
Braun (17)

[Yohan]

sound

and who is in number 8? Bekker?
yes.

[Morlesio14]

bekker gettin emotional

[Kaz]

I don't think I've seen him touch a the ball.

and now he took a kick.. but that seems to be it..

[Yohan]

what a shit marking from Califf

[Morlesio14]

im famous im on #tfclive

[ag futbol]

Few general observations…
1) The sooner I don’t have to see Jeremy Hall and Justin Braun on the field the better
2) We have two CBs who struggle to play the ball out of the back. They also struggle to win the ball and help their own team retain it. Very troubling. Pencil Agboss into a starting spot asap

[Morlesio14]

goaalllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yohan]

lol@fake kick by Bendik

[Morlesio14]

bendik trollss

[OgtheDim]

It was better without the commentary - they sound like they are doing a baseball game.

[Red CB Toronto]

Oh my god, what is going on here.

[Morlesio14]

offside

[Morlesio14]

heres a chance

[Yohan]

Califf with a diving header brilliantly saved by Orlando GK

[Morlesio14]

corner

[TFC07]

TFC looks awful out there! Our centre backs are joke!

[Red CB Toronto]

What the is going on, time to take this game to Orlando boys.

[ouderwien]

Long Tan. As in former Whitecap?

[Yohan]

Long Tan. As in former Whitecap?
yep. and of DC United

[Red CB Toronto]

Can we please shut up and dance.

[Kaz]

any one get the idea that Nelson has asked them not to take the ball forward and let them attack? both games so far seem to be much more defensive.
Either that or we have some serious serious issues... and need some player signing soon if we stand a chance.

[Dv23]

That half was really hard to watch. In more than one way.

I'm just gonna go ahead and blame it on Hall, Califf, Lambe, and Cabrera. I just don't like them.

[Petor]

Match so far reminds me of the way we played at the start of 2011, new coach, new system.
It's going to take some time for them to learn it.
Patience young grasshopper, now where is that damn pebble?! :)

[Benficachop20]

can i add O'dea to that list? the players mentioned looked awful

It's pouring rain, so no one's going in on challenges or marking tight, and Orlando are much more familiar with each other. I don't think we'll see too much effort to win the ball back because no one wants to get injured in a friendly; more likely they'll just mark people off the play as much as possible and break on turnovers.

Not much point getting excited or depressed at this point; we're still three or four signings away from a starting lineup.

[Yohan]

Orlando City proved to be better organized and more team chemistry than TFC who look disjointed and look exactly like a team that's been hastily cobbled together. TFC is lucky to be not down a goal.

[Kaz]

Good points. I'd be happier if we saw a forward signed.

[Dkolish3]

Holy shit it looks like we have a new camera angle!!!

[Dkolish3]

Holy shit it looks like we have a new camera angle!!!

I'm probably wrong :(

[ouderwien]

Who are Morgan and Welshman in for?

[Dkolish3]

I'm probably wrong :(

But I'm not :)

[AlanO]

Just tuned in.. brutal camera angle, is this the feed from the fourth official's cell phone?

[Morlesio14]

goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[Kaz]

lol I was waiting for him to miss. :)

[Yohan]

Nice composure by Taylor Morgan

[Dkolish3]

We have a goal

[ag futbol]

The ironic part is: we probably won't be able to sign him due to the international slot he'll take. Shame, because he's already 10x Justin Braun.

[AlanO]

Nice passes from Bekker and Silva, good finish by Morgan. Well done.

[Benficachop20]

morgan looks much better than braun.

[notthesun]

Thinking that's gonna be a typical TFC goal for us under Nelsen this year. High pressure on their left back forces a giveaway, quick turn & a through ball for a goal on the counter-attack.

[Morlesio14]

goalllllllll! Welshman scores into the upper 90!

[Yohan]

too many stupid long balls from the back. though interesting to see Stinson at LB. new jack of all trades?

[AlanO]

Would like to see Bekker and Hall swap positions - move Bekker into a central AM role, and have Hall at RW. Seems like a better fit for both of them, no?

[Kaz]

ick just ick

[Morlesio14]

penalty!!!!

[AlanO]

Handbags!

[Kaz]

what the heck.. this is preseason so much emotion going on.

[Morlesio14]

dunfield finishes

[TFC07]

what the heck.. this is preseason so much emotion going on.

Orlando City has a chip on their shoulders to prove they can play against MLS teams.

[Marc"2L"]

Rachel gets more Doritos and its two - nil,
Probably not but hey, Doritos are good, scoring goals is good.

I have some Doritos and I'm enjoying the game, it's a good night.

[Kaz]

I think still Rachel is the biggest problem with TFC right now... she came and we lost 9 straight.

[OgtheDim]

Acid test

Can we avoid giving up late goals in either half?

[ag futbol]

sign. him. up.

[PopePouri]

Wow!

[Alonso]

We are clearly going to tear this league a new one! We're playing at .500 and if you extrapolate that over the year that's good for 54 points!

Playoff's here we come! g:D


Sign Osario up!

[Kaz]

There is clearly a delay.. I got the tweet before I saw it. lol

[AlanO]

Osorio may have just earned himself a contract.

[Morlesio14]

nelsen liking it

[Soccerpro]

Like I said before, cut Dunfield and sign Osorio. Save some $.

[Dkolish3]

This is how we should be treating a D-3 team

[OgtheDim]

I suspect the SUN headline on this tomorrow be "Dunfield scores massive goal proving Paul Mariner's work will underpin TFC for seasons to come"

[TFC07]

Like I said before, cut Dunfield and sign Osorio. Save some $. Cut Hall, Braun and Wiederman as well.

[Soccerpro]

Cut Hall, Braun and Wiederman as well.

Yes. No one can justify signing Braun and paying him over 100k a year. Hall and Wiederman aren't MLS quality.

[Kaz]

I'll take it.. second half looked much better. Still concerned.
Can't wait to see a starting 11 all at once, particularly once Danny is back and fit.

[Red CB Toronto]

Can you feel it, good to see the Reds defeat a side in Orlando, that has that never give up attitude.

[Yohan]

Cut Hall, Braun and Wiederman as well.
only if it was that easy to get rid of players

[Yohan]

a lot of rough spots, but I'll take the win. defence was a bit shaky in 1st half but survived, soaked up the pressure and was clinical with few chances created.

[jloome]

Can you feel it, good to see the Reds defeat a side in Orlando, that has that never give up attitude.

Last time we had a guy who could do that, they weren't willing to cut the cheque. This one should be smaller.

[Benficachop20]

better second half, mainly because we subbed off some of the garbage players like Lambe, Braun, Cabrera. Morgan, Welshman, and Osorio are a much better group. Hall should gtfo, sucks as a defender and sucks as a mid, no need for him.

[notthesun]

In other news, Plata with a goal and an assist for RSL against the Red Bulls so far.

[Manager87]

Jeremy Hall?

can someone answere my question?i just wanna kno what in the world does nelsen and the rest of his staff see in jeremy hall?waste of a roster spot,and salary cap

[denime]

Jeremy Hall?

We definitely haven't seen a first choice lineup on the field yet. Think it's still about fitness this point and giving the trialists a chance to prove themselves.

Good idea... Doing the same...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SABPBly90Nk

Yeah your right! Way better.

Thanks to you both! That alone was worth the price of admission tonight.

I missed approx. the first 15 minutes. Yes, TFC was awful in the 1st half. J. Hall as mentioned; and generally TFC just doesn't have a plan yet against high pressure. However, I didn't think the CBs were particularly bad in the parts I saw. Lots of players at fault in giving Orlando those golden chances, CBs only part of the problem. Also had plenty of good clearances and some other decent play in defense.

I honestly have no idea where this team will be headed when MLS starts. At the least, I can say they will have some good games & some bad games. I hope folks can relax a tiny bit, and see how the team comes together over 5 or more games. But yes they still need to sign 2-3 good players at the least.

[Ivy]

Maybe they accidentally cut the wrong Hall?

[Captain]

is this game posted anywhere yet? I missed watching it earlier.

[moralis]

Good win, even over Orlando City. I think the positives of the game were TFC's defensive line and good collective defending in open play closing down attackers. The midfield looks solid - Osorio and Bekker.

The negatives again were the lack of offensive chances from wingers and strikers, which again with the lack quality in the these two games was to be expected. KEVIN PAYNE sign some wingers and strikers ASAP.

We scored three goals, but really not from what TFC created. It was Orlando City mistakes.

From the two games, defence looks good. Frei Ecks-Calif-O'Dea-Morgan. Midfield okay with either Frings and Cesar or Frings and Bekker or Osorio. Mix of that. Plus, Silva as advanced midfielder.

The problem lies in attack. It's not good. I will wait and reserve judgment until the signings happen. Better be soon.

[Alonso]

I have a feeling that they might not post this one since the production quality was in shambles for the first 20 minutes or so...

[dutch]

I just got home from work, got cold ones in the fridge. I know we won 3-0. go over to torontofc.ca and youtube, both video screens say THIS LIVE BORADCAST IS COMPLETED. .... fuck me, yet I can watch the columbus game again, wtf. I gotta figure this out...
The revolution will not be televised..The revolution will be live

[dutch]

and goltv can kiss my ass, what kind of shit is that. they cant afford to send a van, camera and two bums down there for 7 days. I know theyre gettin the money I send them every month. I guess this is where im supposed to smile and watch another fucking bundesliga repeat

[Ajax TFC]

. I guess this is where im supposed to smile and watch another fucking bundesliga repeat
and with quality lower than most internet live streams too.

[Manager87]

Bermuda hall(GK)has been let go

[Auzzy]

Jeremy Hall is actually from Tampa, Florida. You would think he would be extra motivated for these games in Orlando.

That's what I figured.

The first 25 minutes aren't presentable, so the whole game will likely not be posted.

[Jpexxx]

Having missed the match, I would at the very least like to see the 3 goals.

[khso11]

the montreal vs tampa game was just uploaded on youtube, so i think they're gonna put the tfc game soon. But I guess they're just showing the highlights, not a full game.

[dantdot]

Some highlights up finally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGhf64U4ajI
