[burlington Red]

Wow what a freaking sick goal . incredible.

[pdubs]

Amazing lol

[aajking]

This guy just puts Defoe to so SO much shame!

[SenorDingDong]

Let's all remember, his plane literally only landed from Rome a few hours ago lol.

[ronzilla]

Seba is a fucking monster.

[ensco]

I actually really believe that Gio is having fun and wants to be here now!

That is better than making the p******s

This is the best couple of hours I have had in a while

[pdubs]

It is goal of the year. And he is the MVP if a couple yanks were on the fence.

[andyboy]

Stroman/Giovinco

"Height Doesn't Measure Heart"

[pdubs]

P******s baby. P******s.

fuck the block

P.L.A.Y.O.F.F.s

[Eastend]

And 2nd place!!!!

[aajking]

Fuckin eh boys, FUCKIN EH

[pdubs]

Against the best team in the east, undermanned.

[daner90]

Too many feels tonight with the Jays and TFC WOW!

[mowe]

P******S. FUCKING P******S. UNCENSOR ME GODDAMMIT.

9 years but we finally did it. What a night.

[CommradePolski]

It's finally fucking happened!!!!!!!!

[Super]

Congratulations TFC! I'm over the moon!

[brad]

Seba is a fucking monster.

QFT.

[Batman]

I'd agree that Giovinco's goal was the best ever.
Period. Full stop. No doubt about it.

[Couchy81]

P1ayoffs.

[brad]

Wow. Over the moon.

Question. So long as we finish in the top 4, we will have a p****** game at BMO, right?

[Sweeper]

Awesome performance by everybody on the field. Long time coming. Congrats TFC!!!!!

[ManUtd4ever]

How do you spell P L A Y O F F S? GIOVINCO.

Great effort with that lineup tonight against the class of the East, and we move into second place for now.

[aajking]

Can't stop watching that Seba goal! Fucking fantastic!

[Eastend]

Wow. Over the moon.

Question. So long as we finish in the top 4, we will have a p****** game at BMO, right?

correct.

[pdubs]

P1ayoffs P******s P1ayoffs stop the censor fuck

[Detroit_TFC]

A very special moment, brothers and sisters. Can't lie, completely overcome with emotion.

[Blixa]

What a night... Football bloody hell.

[TFC07]

The pain and suffering from all years supporting this club comes to an end tonight!

Finally we can say TFC is going to the p******s!

[PAOK17]

Wow! I know it was a huge risk, and I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan of putting Giovinco in, but that does say a lot of Giovinco's character to play yesterday, flight today, land 3 hours prior to the game, suit up, and score the winning goal!

Someone should send Defoe a video of that.

[redisthenewblk]

Jackson was a fucking beast tonight. Giovinco's goal - I have no words. What a win!!!

[Detroit_TFC]

Jackson was a fucking beast tonight. Giovinco's goal - I have no words. What a win!!!

This is the straight up fucking truth. Jackson's best game in a Toronto shirt.

[Shakes McQueen]

Between the Jays and TFC tonight... man, what a good day.

Stroman and Giovinco - two little guys who pack a big punch.

[Oldtimer]

Someone should send Defoe a video of that.
QFT. Giovinco is everything one could want in a DP, and more.

[OgtheDim]

P****** football. That was a perfect example of what this is like. Soooooo happy.

[Hamilton_Red]

You could see Giovinco warming up & was bouncing. He got the ball and no one in the world was going to stop him. What a great goal. He's walking into the same bar as Bautista tonight and looking each other in the eyes as leader. Amazing.

[T-boy]

Fantastic night at BMO! I almost never thought a night like that would happen!

Giovinco is world class - best goal I've seen "live" in a long time.

Cheyrou was a monster tonight - lead by example, ran the game, made up for Bradley being missing. Also shout out to Williams who was a real man tonight solid in D and calm at the back. But all over the field TFC players were excellent.

I also want to tell all you guys that have been here since day one that YOU all deserve a night like that - WE deserve it - and it feels good!

*Note - minor gripe, I was a little peed off that the players went over to the bottom of 114 to celebrate at the end - they should have come over to 112, cos you guys deserve that celebration. Let's just say that the players are saving that celebration for something bigger :)

[T-boy]

Wow! I know it was a huge risk, and I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan of putting Giovinco in, but that does say a lot of Giovinco's character to play yesterday, flight today, land 3 hours prior to the game, suit up, and score the winning goal!

Someone should send Defoe a video of that.

Who is this "Defoe" character?!

[Ultra & Proud]

Who is this "Defoe" character?!
Some old English lady who sends her son to different football clubs for a year or two so she can get free flights and swag.

[MightyDM]

What a night. Have to credit Vanney for the selections and formation - for example, Morgan has potential as a wide player but it took judgment and some nerve to put him in in this game - and have to credit everyone on the team for an extremely well played game. even without MB. And Seba! What a moment.

Nine years. Through Dichio, LA in the Dome, Cruz Azul, miracle in Montreal, lightning against Whitecaps, DeRo, Weeds versus Dallas in the rain, and other magic moments, but nothing like today! It's a bloody big deal, that's for bloody sure.

[bigredone]

This is the straight up fucking truth. Jackson's best game in a Toronto shirt.

Defender of the year hahaha. New found love for this man.

God Damn what a feeling, everything is fucken awesome!!!!

[speckles]

Great momentum, I'm just so happy

[Detroit_TFC]

Damn right I screen shot that MLS Eastern Conf standing. #2 motherfuckers.

[Kamp Berg]

What an amazing night to be a bmo field! The first goal by Gomez seems like poetry (considering his past with tfc) and Giovinco's goal was simply heavenly! WHAT A NIGHT!!!

[James17930]

I'm not going to be getting much sleep over the next few months getting up in the middle of the night to catch all these Jays and TFC p****** games.

[Bobo]

First time in my life I have been overcome by emotion by Toronto sports. Special day.

[SoccMan2]

Been a season ticket holder since the beginning so it felt great being at BMO tonight the night they finally make it, it was amazing seeing the fans in the south stands party with the players after the game, also I loved the video that was shown after the game on the big screen showing a video of the seasons past and this season did get me a bit emotional can't lie. A great effort by the team tonight and the past few games and what can you say about that Giovinco goal has to be the best goal I have ever seen scored at a live pro soccer game for me. Moreover. Jackson are you kidding me best right back in the league it's not even close!

[Ajax TFC]

Fuck I can't believe I forgot about this game in all the Jays excitement! Giovinco just keeps finding new ways to outdo himself. I don't even want to think about how many ankles will be broken when he outdoes his goal today!

BTW, De Vos is annoying AF. First goal goes in: "well taken goal, but that never should of happened because blah blah blah bad defending blah

[T-boy]

Fuck I can't believe I forgot about this game in all the Jays excitement!

:nono:

[Areathrasher]

Unfucking beliveable night.

Collen Warner was an absolute beast tonight. Seriously. He beat that NYRB press by pressing the fuck back out of them. He was everywhere. Immense performance.

[notthesun]

I know we've won some trophies, but this was the best night in TFC history. Easily.

When Giovinco scored that goal I lost. my. fucking. mind. That was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. Absolute insanity that he flies back from across the Atlantic, trots onto the field and does that. Pure magic.

Seeing the players celebrate after, the smiles on everyone's faces, it was perfect today. Hell, the mood was already high because of the Jays, then this happens. I'll never forget this day.

[flatpicker]

Fuck I can't believe I forgot about this game in all the Jays excitement!


:nono:


^ I agree with T-boy... :toetap05:

[Discostu81]

Phenomenal team effort, can't fault anybody on the pitch tonight, they were all fantastic. So happy I got to be a part of history :D

[fiji_blue]

Jackson played out of this world !! Giovinco PURE CLASS !! I'm in tears knowing our team is finally going to be in p******s ...

[SoccMan2]

You know I don't want to be that guy but unless it was sarcasm and if it was then I will apologize right off the top, but last time I checked this was a supporters forum for our team, so for somebody who I would imagine is a TFC fan because I have seen many posts by them on here to forget TFC was playing in such an important game kind of is hard to believe really!

[jloome]

Phenomenal team effort, can't fault anybody on the pitch tonight, they were all fantastic. So happy I got to be a part of history :D

Nine. Freaking. Seasons.

My wife cried a little. "finally, you'll shut up," she said happily.

[SoccMan2]

Landon Donovan ✔ @landondonovan Congrats @torontofc (https://twitter.com/torontofc) !!! A fan base that truly deserves it. Giovinco is my new hero btw https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v1/72x72/1f44f.pnghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v1/72x72/1f44f.pnghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v1/72x72/1f44f.png https://twitter.com/torontofc/status/654462953014476800 … (https://t.co/k6UAFibTpd)

[T-boy]

Wooah there landycakes!!!!!!!

[molenshtain]

I drank a lot. I cried a lot.

Today was the best day of my life.

[Lennon]

Jackson was a fucking beast tonight. Giovinco's goal - I have no words. What a win!!!


This is the straight up fucking truth. Jackson's best game in a Toronto shirt.


Jackson played out of this world !! Giovinco PURE CLASS !! I'm in tears knowing our team is finally going to be in p******s ...

Hop on the bandwagon, boys.

#jackson4seleção

:D

[TFC/Everton]

I love all of you. Every last one of you.

Tonight was for all of us who never gave up on this team. Best night of my life.

[BelfastBoy]

We've come a long way from that night after the loss in NYCFC - it seemed the wheels were coming off.

Giovinco is class, break out the Juve shirts!

[Discostu81]

Nine. Freaking. Seasons.

My wife cried a little. "finally, you'll shut up," she said happily.

It's only been 5 seasons since I moved here so can't pretend that I truly appreciate it as much as those who have been down since day one...but it still feels pretty bloody amazing!

[T-boy]

It's only been 5 seasons since I moved here so can't pretend that I truly appreciate it as much as those who have been down since day one...but it still feels pretty bloody amazing!

Having been here since day one, I can verify it feels like my first kiss combined with my first beer combined with my first smoke combined with losing my virginity mixed with my wedding day, all wrapped up in one evening!

[molenshtain]

I didn't know life could be this beautiful.

[Auzzy]

Fuck yeah!

Turn off the god damn pl@yoffs filter, now we can say it w/o worrying!

[Lennon]

I'm probly the least excited out of everyone that's been here since day 1. Finishing top 6 out of 10 teams just doesn't mean that much to me. We haven't won anything yet.

[billyfly]

Nine. Freaking. Seasons.

My wife cried a little. "finally, you'll shut up," she said happily.

So many we've lost along the way from that first season.

This goes out to all those in 112 and other sections. FINALLY

[portu]

No. Words.

[Lennon]

Hey where's that guy that always complains about everything .. haven't seen him in a while g:D

[ag futbol]

What a game. That was a hell of a way to clinch it!

[notthesun]

Guess I'll make a post about the actual game too, haha.

Vanney got everything right tonight. The 4-2-3-1 gave us better options in midfield vs. New York's high press. The back line is starting to come together now too.

Cheyrou & Warner were excellent. Osorio and Gomez were great. Jackson may have played the best MLS game of his career. He was fantastic, if he keeps that up our RB problems are long gone.

What an incredible night. And the first time we've ever won 4 in a row.

[ag futbol]

Fuck I can't believe I forgot about this game in all the Jays excitement! Giovinco just keeps finding new ways to outdo himself. I don't even want to think about how many ankles will be broken when he outdoes his goal today!

BTW, De Vos is annoying AF. First goal goes in: "well taken goal, but that never should of happened because blah blah blah bad defending blah
It was a poor clearance, but good old DeVos everything is always a result of what the defender didn't do rather than what the attacker actually did.

Please keep him as far away from our youth teams as possible.

[molenshtain]

What a night to be alive.

I am Euphoria personified.

[Hamilton_Red]

Yes this is the best day since beating LA in the CONCACaF. Made better by Giovinco and Jose Bautista. We are now in 2nd place in the east - beat Columbus and we are cruising. Gio warming up looked like he was bouncing - when he got the ball it looked like magic. In the net 2-0... nothing gonna stop the party after that. For me Jackson was immense - the defence has started to find themselves. This team has a chance now to go well into the p******s.

[Auzzy]

Against the best team in the east, undermanned.


How do you spell P L A Y O F F S? GIOVINCO.

Great effort with that lineup tonight against the class of the East, and we move into second place for now.

In fact, against the top team in the whole goddamn league, I may add! :D :D



What a night. Have to credit Vanney for the selections and formation - for example, Morgan has potential as a wide player but it took judgment and some nerve to put him in in this game - and have to credit everyone on the team for an extremely well played game. even without MB.

Speaking of Weeds, I loved this tweet tonight from him: https://twitter.com/awiedeman3/status/654458420980912128

[Hamilton_Red]

You can take the auto correct off the Play-Offs now.

[GuelphStorm2007]

Well done, Finally after all these years we are in the P******s. I have been there since day 1 many times on that Go Train to BMO . Seeing us lose games by the narrowest margins but now we are in the P******s. aND YOU KNOW WITH A LITTLE LUCK I CAN SEE us doing some damage . The east pretty wide open anything can happen.

Giovinco goal best thing since Dichio's goal

[Red4ever]

What happened? I was in the shitter.

[molenshtain]

What happened? I was in the shitter.

the world ended.

[GuelphStorm2007]

Credit to the Management and the Coaching staff for all there hard work, and Perseverance. After the Defoe debacle at this time last year I thought it was going to be doomsday all over again. But the FO stepped up and got us Giovinco :) and Altidore (Who I think they paid a bit too Much for ) but that is history, Keeping faith with the young Canadians Like Osorio,:rolleyes: and Morgan (MY comeback player of the year) Giving Delgado playing time. Enduring a 6 game road trip at the beginning of the season and slowly getting better each game. Well Done the Future will be bright..

[GonfiaLaRete]

It is either a testament to a pretty crappy life or I really like soccer because this one of the best nights of my life. I ended up 6 rows in front of where i stood after Giovincos goal. No clue what happened. Seemed like the heavens were opening up and I was drifting away. TFC TFC TFC TFC

[khso11]

What a night. The moment that Giovinco goal happen, it felt like all the curse on this team just disappeared. That's GOTY, that's probably one of the most important goal for TFC, what a way to score it. The whole team should take credit for the win tonight. Finally we've made it!!!!! Let's FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flare:

[Ivy]

I can't feel my face when I'm with you.

But I love it.

But I love it.

This feeling is unreal. I want to cry... I've watched gio's goal like 43 times - I think I'm about to run out of data. Can we build a statue for him now?

[Kamp Berg]

Does anyone have any idea what Altidore said to the 4th official? Does anyone believe that it actually merited a red card?

[OgtheDim]

https://twitter.com/KurtLarSUN/status/654476332689137664

That's a pretty strong statement.

I get the feeling Jozy got profiled. There is likely no proof that if anything was said that it was Jozy.

[OgtheDim]

[ManUtd4ever]

Although I was as ecstatic as anyone when the Jays won the series yesterday, it's a bit of a shame that this historic moment for TFC was totally overshadowed by it.

[mastermixer]

As much as I am excited for the Jays, I kinda wish they picked another year to make the p******s.

[T-boy]

Although I was as ecstatic as anyone when the Jays won the series yesterday, it's a bit of a shame that this historic moment for TFC was totally overshadowed by it.

I also found that the Jays playing at the same time yesterday meant that BMO had mostly football fans and few fairweather/"sports fans", especially around 112/113/114 area. It actually made for a better atmosphere with those other fans watching the Jays instead.

[molenshtain]

Can't do a lot about the jays. Good thing is that MLB p******s will be over pretty much as soon as ours start.

[GonfiaLaRete]

I read the italian newspapers every morning and online comments and I am telling you, they are obsessed with Giovinco. Many hack him for playing in "America" or "a second class league" but many love him and are happy that he has hit form, making a crap load of money and re-found his spot on the national team. He has sort of taken everyone by storm here and there. It is awesome

[ManUtd4ever]

As much as I am excited for the Jays, I kinda wish they picked another year to make the p******s.

I wouldn't go that far. I just wish they had won the series on a different day.

[DeRo2015]

I have been lurking around here for the past two years, and have to say thanks to all of you for some great threads and discussions. However, I am no longer able to keep my pie-hole shut despite having little of value to add......I am so damn proud of our entire squad today that I can barely get any friggin work done! I thought the overall performance last night was really strong, with certain guys really outperforming as y'all already pointed out. Looking forward to being at the game on Saturday. GO ON YOU REDS!!!

[C.Ronaldo]

Anyone have a player rating? Watched from Cancun on my phone with the jays in the background

[Prof]

Anyone have a player rating? Watched from Cancun on my phone with the jays in the background


Jackson Man of the Match. 10

Seba Most Important Goal of the Season - 10

[Oldtimer]

Can we build a statue for him now?

Maybe we can put his name on the "wall of honour" when he retires.

[C.Ronaldo]

Really proud of Jackson. Hard work turned his game around 100%


How was Morgan. Saw him celebrating like a little kid out there after the miracle goal

[Phil]

Welcome to the boards and thanks for posting up!!

[magmadragon]

First time we ever won 4 in row. Another record in the books boys.

[TFC_Allez]

Anyone else having trouble communicating today due to lack of voice? lol Starting to think it might never come back. Last night was arguably the best night of my life. Still having trouble processing it. Playoffs baby!

[GonfiaLaRete]

I agree. Pure joy and ecstasy!!

[TheGoodson]

Getting lost in the all of admiration for Seba's goal (which is fully deserved) is the intelligent run that Osorio made to pull a defender with him giving Seba a clear path to goal.

I'm quite impressed with the maturation process of Osorio he is now a complete footballer and it blows my mind he doesn't even get called out to CMNT....

[Auzzy]

Really proud of Jackson. Hard work turned his game around 100%

How was Morgan. Saw him celebrating like a little kid out there after the miracle goal

I thought Morgan played pretty well. You could see his defensive tendencies, which was actually useful to slow NYRB from tearing down like that wing like they often do. He got forward often enough, but made sure to get back quickly & not leave that side & Morrow too exposed. Morgan still doesn't cross as well as used to for a little while (a few years ago), not sure what happened there. But he was good on short passing sequences, and his speed was a huge help.

You could sometimes see Morgan & Morrow get a bit tangled in their positioning & passing. That's natural considering they've both mostly been FBs, so maybe they have some of the same tendencies. Would get better with a bit more time & experience together.

[Initial B]

Wow, I can't believe they actually won. My son told me not to watch the game with him, because he didn't want TFC to lose. So I went and got some groceries and came back to find they won. I'm torn between wanting to watch games and not jinx the club. I'm so buzzed from yesterday's games that I still can't sleep. Every time I see the bat flip and Seba's goal and I'm giggling like a schoolgirl. So this is what playoffs feels like?

[Ivy]

Does anybody have footage of the south end doing the bounce towards the end of the game? That sh1t was unreal.

[Mateo1985]

yeah if people can upload their videos on youtube or something it'd be great

[GonfiaLaRete]

yeah if people can upload their videos on youtube or something it'd be great

Seconded. Must be a lot of good ones!!

[MightyDM]

BTW, what was with the 6 minutes time added on? There was no serious injury or anything like that. Bizarre.

[Yohan]

Osorio getting clocked by Gomez's shot

[Auzzy]

BTW, what was with the 6 minutes time added on? There was no serious injury or anything like that. Bizarre.

I thought the amount of time tacked on was excessive, compared to the minimal time added in the first half; the amount of delay in the 2nd half; and compared to many other games I've seen in MLS.

Armen posted some interesting tweets about that. He feels that TFC games consistently have a short amount of time added on when it could more likely help TFC; and lots of injury time when it's not in the favour.
