[OgtheDim]

Hmm....Orlando not a huge crowd

[CBTFC]

Anyone have a reliable stream for the OC/NYRB match on right now? My usual source seems to be down at the moment.

Thanks!

[Detroit_TFC]

That SKC v Houston game outcome will be interesting. Wondering if Owen Coyle's time is starting to run out.

[Detroit_TFC]

Oof, Joe got caught out there.

[CBTFC]

Thanks man...it just fired up fine right off the bat.

1-0 NYRB at the 20' minute mark. Hmmmmm.

beautiful pass to wright-phillips

[Detroit_TFC]

Unkel making himself the center of attention again.

[CBTFC]

Yeah, I get the whole "touches the ball first on a tackle" thing that I've come to learn is a part of the game of soccer/football (my knowledge is still only a few years), but just because the defender touches the ball first, doesn't mean the rest of his tackle/follow through wasn't reckless.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Saw Larin getting in on a goal. Great.

[akoto]

Unkel making himself the center of attention again.

I just finished watching the condensed match. Wow Unkle made some really bad calls.

Both teams didn't look very good though. It was tough for either team to string together a good run of passes. Finishing was poor for both. Glad I didn't watch all 90 mins.

[ag futbol]

I can't get over how bad Kudo is. What were Vancouver thinking? They are firing blanks on signing strikers

Edit: Aaaannnd of course he scores.

[Hugh Jazz]

Gleeson's magic was all used up last week.

[mistercorporate]

Who gives a fuck about other teams tonight, TFC and its fanbase is back bitches!!!

[PopePouri]

The scattering boos throughout the emptied stadium after the Columbus game was just glorious.

[OgtheDim]

Afterwards, Kamara ripped out his teammates.

Check out this reporter's timeline going back to during the game. I haven't even seen it myself yet but apparently Columbus won a PK and Higuain refused to let Kamara take it (even though Kamara is now the designated penalty taker for the Crew and he was on a hat trick). As in physically refused to give him the ball and ignored Finlay when he came over to try to reason with him, then Parkhurst had to come in and separate them. Way beyond what we saw with Gilberto and Defoe. Kamara's quotes after the game are crazy. He actually blamed Higuain for losing the Golden Boot last year (since Higuain was taking the PKs last year).

Columbus might be imploding. Reports of fighting between teammates in training too. And I'm not surprised Kamara's attitude is causing problems after he demanded a pay raise from his already DP contract after last year... it was probably the fact that Higuain makes more that was getting to him in the first place.

NER @ LAG Two teams that can't play defence - LAG offence is better.

And LA is up 3-0 at half, just dismantling the NER back line.

[OgtheDim]

DCU is the worst team in the league.

[Detroit_TFC]

That was simply brutal from DCU. Really floundering.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Those highlights were so delicious. Watching both teams get scored on so much - glorious.

Implosion imminent. How bout Dom's celebration after his goal, though? I think he was enjoying where he was scoring it. g:D

Keane back with a brace and Gerard to halt the comeback with the 4th. 4-2 final and home fans sound happy.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Nice to hear their fans are back, though. They're in for a rough season.

Not too sure about that.

Seems DCU FO and DCU supporters groups had a meeting. Seems one of DCU FO staffers think supporters are just another customer that can be easily replaced.

[James17930]

So who's going to get fired first? Ben Olsen or Craig Berhalter?

Owen Coyle

Houston is shambles, despite the win vs SKC last game.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Curious. I just went by the highlights. Fans singing and waving flags in the DU sections. Could be they weren't there for the whole match.

[Detroit_TFC]

Owen Coyle

Houston is shambles, despite the win vs SKC last game.

Yeah, Coyle will probably be the first. Olsen can point to past ups and downs in his defense. Seems unfair if Berhalter becomes the sacrificial lamb in the Crew dressing room meltdown. More likely one or more players will seek (or be shown) the door in August.

[OgtheDim]

Owen Coyle

Coyle will survive until their season is all but over. Then they'll bring in somebody who can work with Spanish speaking players.

[James17930]

Owen Coyle

Houston is shambles, despite the win vs SKC last game.

Very possible too, though for some reason I feel Coyle would be given more time as the expectations in Houston weren't as high this year as opposed to say, Columbus. Also because Coyle is still somewhat of a 'big name' guy so they might want to keep him around longer.

But if they lose too many more games then yeah, he could be toast.
