Here we go. A place to discuss the game itself (not the march, not the stadium).

The Orange Crush may have swept Alberta but it stops HERE this weekend! :smile5: :scarf::drum::flare:


Game is on TSN (insert a random # here) and ESPN - thus big head will be in town.

I wonder if we will continue to see the defensive 4-4-2 shape? I love the 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 but I care more about results then how pretty it looks right now.

Are we having our 100% lineup? Bendik, Caldwell, Morrow?

I think I can see a 2-1 win for the Reds on Saturday, but may end up with a 2-2 draw if the defence becomes shambolic again.

They have to be careful not to concede an early goal to take the crowd out of the game. I could see TFC potting 2-3 goals at home with a crowd finally backing them.

Houston is nothing special. Their defense is as porous as a sponge and ours is coming together. 3-0 TFC.

We're about 78 hours away from kickoff, and I'm sure the forecast will change a hundred times between now and then.

Just follow the weather network hourly forecast/radar, i've always found it to be pretty accurate.

I am hopefull. Rain is called for overnight Saturday but ending around 3 am Sunday.

Weather for Toronto Islands based on the hourly forecast is only available up until 11am and its not calling for rain after 3 am.

Didn't Caldwell have surgery on his knee? This sounds like a Kovermans's situation again, at 34 its going to be tough for him to come back.

The knee surgery was on Simonin.

First impression is everything.

If TFC wants to sell out regularly at BMO field, then they need to start winning games at home.

Forecast calls for scattered showers on Sunday with a high of around 19 degrees. Winds are also expected to reach 8 km/h. We're also expecting storms on Saturday before the match, so BMO Field is probably gonna be wet and soggy for the game. Houston, on the other hand, will be experiencing seasonal temperatures of the high 20s and low 30s throughout most of the week. That could give us a bit of an environmental advantage come gameday. Throw in the fact that it will also be our home opener and Houston is suffering a bit of a slide right now (they just lost two consecutive games at home), 3 points should be well within our grasp on Sunday.

The Dynamo are coming into a match with a record of 2-4-4 and are 9th in the West. Like I said their last two matches were losses at home, and they haven't actually won a game since April 11th (3-0 against the Impact at home). One could argue they are due for a win, but they haven't won a single game on the road either. Toronto FC on the other hand, is 5th in the East with a record of 3-4-0 and with the exception of Yesterday's hiccup in Montreal, is starting to really come together as a competitive squad. I would be somewhat disappointed if TFC couldn't pick up a point (or 3) on Sunday.

That's definitely not true. Only in 112 and 113 I guess. The rest of the stadium clears out. The best atmosphere is when we have great weather - and I've been in other sections outside of the south end. Rainy games have by far the worst atmosphere of all. Sounds like shit on TV as well. I'd like to have a great atmos on Sunday, so I'm hoping for beautiful weather and a packed stadium.

Ya...must win as far as they lost the Vcup first leg to look good in their opener but I don't root for marketing or high attendance. Someone else gets paid for that. This is just the eight game of the season for me. First of many home games to come.

I would start trusting it about 24 hours out when you can start to really see the systems, but as we all know, they can change even on a lots less notice, that is what makes weather truly what is it, unpredictable a lot of the time.

Recovering from surgery so not going to be able to make the game.....so disappointed.
But will watch on TV and am so excited for this game.
It would be nice for this game if everyone could show up to their seats prior to kick off so when the players walk down the tunnel they are confronted by a packed stadium.........however I doubt that is going to happen.
3 points would be huge and would really set the tone for future home games........COYR

First of all

The marathon he talks about? Its a 10K and done already. TTC was back to normal at 11.

Second, the Jays will affect traffic in - until about 2 with the stragglers. Get in between 2 and 4 and you should be fine. Its RA Dickey pitching - could be a long game. Unless it goes 18 innings, its not affecting us on the way home.

3rd - Pan Am Construction - can't get around it. Reality. That's all our lot in life right now. Adds a bit to every commute in the city right now.

In general, always give yourself an extra hour coming down. Plan to be here at 4, not 5.

This team only relies on whacking it up to Altidore and Giovinco and hoping that they score.

Bradley has been woeful this year. He's not an attacking CM, he doesn't tackle and break up plays as a DM, is that what a "box to box" midfielder means?

Perquis isn't half the player that was advertised by TFC management. Look at Ciman from the impact, that's a real CB signing.

Finally, it was clear coming into this season TFC had no width, that hasn't changed. Just clog the middle against the reds.

Joining as TFC buy Giovinco and Altidore are purchased and TFC has the most media hype ever? I'd say that's pretty bandwagon. And it's the fact that he is saying to sell Perquis even though he is hands down the best centre back this team has EVER had (not like he'll know considering he started following 2 months ago lmfao) and multiple other players that are useful and would flourish under other managers that gets me.

Never has been. Never will be

He's so overplaying, so trying to get onto balls he'll never reach, trying to take shots that will never score. His level of play is so arrogant right now that it's being his downfall;

Additionally, we're trying to play offensively like we're fucking Brazil. We're not even trying the basics, like running channels, crossing the ball in, getting the ball into dangerous places to win kicks.

It's very, very poor. Perhaps people will call for Vanney's head; but perhaps that's because we see a lack of motivational skill and tactical acumen at this point.

So disappointed so far.

What? You say Perquis is the best CB the club has ever had, yet his performances certainly don't demonstrate that. Who else would flourish under other managers? Cheyrou? Osorio?

You do realize that I had been browsing this forum since early last year and have been going to games since around 2011 right? If I was a bandwagon fan don't you think I would have fucked Toronto FC off and went and started watching Bayern Munich matches instead?

I have to call for Vaney's head this team is still not ready. Sure first goal Bradley fucked up, but second goal he pressed the attacker and there should have been time for the players behind him to get organized but they never did.

I agree that Bradley and forces things too much. If he was backed up by a great CDM and Back line that would be ok, but on our team he has to be responsible.

This is the problem. Our options in the middle of the field are: a guy who is past his years who is often left behind for pace, a never has been average depth player, a DP who is positionally irresponsible, and a local kid who is more offensive minded. Every team in this league is playing fast and agressive ball winners in the middle while we continue to do the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight.

New stand, same old TFC... Even if we scrape into the playoffs ahead of the expansion teams, this side wouldnt be able to handle the Crew, DC, Red Bulls or the Revs.

Lets face it, this side is just not good enough. Outside the DPs none of these players would hold down a spot in the better MLS sides. This club has been built ass-backwards. Instead of going out and buying big name players in the hope they will bring glory, we should have invested in the bones of a competitive side. Players like Givenco might be able to make a good side great, but they cant turn an average side into contenders. Bradley in particular has been a real disappointment and I cant help wonder if the money he costs us could be far better spent

You kind of need both. The fact we have Altidore and Giovinco is not a bad thing. Even with Bradley being disapointing that alone shouldn't hold us back.

But I agree he supporting cast isn't strong enough and the collection of players on this roster is bizarre. It lends itself to no particular style of football or coherent plan.

We've been playing ugly all year aside from the Vancouver game, the main problem being that our midfield is non-existant.

But of course were never going to see that happen.

After I saw the unanimous Pick-Em call for TFC on the MLS website, I knew they were doomed.

After that performance, Vanney had better put his best 11 on the field for Wednesday, although I don't know if i could tell you who any of the best 11 are besides Giovinco and Altidore.

Morrow is a decent defender but he's not a wingback. Trying to use him wide on the overlap is a waste of time.

He's good on the left. This starting two left backs thing should end here.

Our wide play was almost non existent today. So Houston just collapsed on us in the middle and we couldn't do anything as a result. It's no surprise our one goal came from Osorio, the only wide player today that can take on a man.

Morgan can't beat someone or even get a half step for a cross if his defender is set. Morrow can't do it on his off side. Jackson is way too out of control with his dribbles, and same with Findley. The whole game was us playing it to our wide guys, who looked up at their opponent closing them down and then turned and passed back to Hagglund/Perquis or Bradley/Cheyrou. Literally the one time a wide player attacks his defender, we score.

If Vanney doesn't see this after the game he's lost the plot. Start threatening from out wide and suddenly Giovinco and Altidore will have tons of space in the middle. This is elementary stuff.

Next league game, Osorio should be left mid and Lovitz should get the start on the right. They can swap wings if cutting in isn't working.
