I say put Bradley on either for the whole thing or at the half and go for the win!

I want to see some continental football.

I say Bradley starts.

3rd place Copa game on Saturday is in Arizona - even if he plays the 90 that day, he'll be more rested then the guys who went down to Orlando, back to Toronto and then over to Vancouver.

TFC flying direct via charter from Orlando to Vancouver on Sunday. Bradley likely to join them direct from Arizona after playing a full game on Saturday against Colombia (Jurgen saying he is playing his best team).

It's disappointing that this tournament is for next year's tournament. It should be for this year's concacaf champions league. Things change a lot in a year. Players go, level drops etc.

Agreed - though I understand the logic. Typically, summer league champions play in the following year's championship (see Scandinavian teams in Europe, even our own US MLS teams). It only seems weird for us because our mini Canadian championship is so short that it's done well before the CCL starts for that year, whereas true summer championships end after the continental competition has begun. When we start getting more teams in the Canadian Championship, it will make more sense.

One thing that annoys me about the media is that they refer to the Canadian Championship more as a qualifier for CCL, as if it's part of the CCL, when it's not. As it grows, I hope they refer to it as our domestic Cup. Vic Rauter kept referring to all the Amyway games as Champions League games. The Voyagers Cup is no more a CCL qualifier than the FA Cup is a Europa League qualifier.

Another plastic field, crap... I hope we don't lose any more players to injury.

At least the weather should be better. Wed. expecting a high of 23 degrees, feeling like 28 in Vancouver. By 7pm local start time it should be cooler (15 degrees expected overnight).

Van really turned their match around yesterday in Philly. We gotta bring our best for this one.

Onyx
06-26-2016, 12:49 PM
we will see how seriously the caps take this game.
robbo has seen his team get worn down by two straight years in dual ccl and mls schedule late in season. I don't get the sense the caps are super motivated ... big difference between 34-38 games a year and mid-40s.

we will see who they start. It is a home game, probably more of a MLS lineup, but Robbo has said that this year CCL is for development of their young players.

Update on Perquis and Beitashour:

John Molinaro ‏@JohnMolinaro (https://twitter.com/JohnMolinaro) 19h19 hours ago (https://twitter.com/JohnMolinaro/status/746842355005816832) I'm told Perquis and Beitashour are banged up, thus they were given maintenance days.

Red CB Toronto
06-27-2016, 01:46 PM
Clint Irwin flew back to Toronto from Orlando and Q flew out to Vancouver from TO on Sunday. With the rotation the Reds have had with Q and Alex been first team backup and TFC2 starter, I wonder if much consideration and thought is being given to who starts on Wednesday.

Pint
06-27-2016, 02:00 PM
Other than the reffing decisions, bono's misplay cost TFC points and it's not like he has been solid with TFC 2. You may as well give your homegrown kid who has looked better over the past year and a half the start.

This is why you bring in two young guys and give them games and see. Neither of them will be as good as Irwin. But, they either prove themselves decent back ups or they are let go in an offseason or two.

All they have to be is Konopka good enough.

The interview videos posted on TFC's website and the preview video both seem to imply that Bono will get the start. I was really hoping for Roberts.

we are absolutely screwed with all these BS injuries, if we don't get a result tomorrow and win the cup, this season will be an incredible failure.

We're already under .500 as it is halfway through the season and it looks like it will just keep getting worse. Everyone is worried saying "oh maybe we still can make the playoffs despite the injuries", we shouldn't even be debating this. How the heck are we not a top 3 team in this league? Limping into the playoffs again is an incredible disappointment. Why aren't we contending for the top of the league. Imagine a mid table team that didn't even win the Voyageurs Cup? :facepalm:

the thing that will irritate me the most if we lose to Van is that Van DOESNT CARE about the CCL. Last year in important games they put kids and reserves to compete. I dont even know why they're playing their first team against us if they arent going to take it seriously later. Just play your kids against us again. This is why we need to win. We take the CCL seriously and we will play first team players and try our best. Vancouver doesnt give a shit. It'll be even more hurtful if they beat us because of this.

Would much rather see Roberts get the start he has been a lot calmer for TFC2 and has some big game experience with Canada Juniors. Bono lost his mind coming in as a sub and did nothing except make mistakes. Mike Magee had a better sub-gk appearance.

Blindside16
06-29-2016, 05:35 AM
I was extremely confident that we were bringing the cup home right up until the 70th minute Saturday. Now I can't see it happening. Vancouver is just going to push upfield and put everything on goal that they can. Perfect example is the 2nd leg vs Ottawa. If we let in a soft goal early, I think the flood gates will open. I'm hoping we can find a way to score early, and then just park the bus and ride out the 90. I just don't know if we have what it takes right now.

ronzilla
06-29-2016, 06:00 AM
You can't really judge Bono off 1 mistake. He needs to play a few full 90 minute games before you can make any kind of assessment. I think he should be fine.

Bono has had the slightly better season for TFCII so far in 2016, but with the varying makeup of the roster not sure how to compare the two bodies of work.

stats aren't really an indicator of anything.

someone posted altidore's stats on reddit and used them to justify jozy's continued exclusion from the USMNT because of his lack of goals.
now, as someone whose actually seen the games you'd be able to look at the stats and go "huh? the dudes a tremendous asset up front!!"

from the TFC II games i've watched bono has a lot of trouble organizing the backline with confidence which was kind've evident when you saw the first goal he ever let in for TFC. roberts seems like the better choice, but what's more worrisome is bono's nerve. in his first game he fucked. you can't base a players entire body of work after one game, especially his first game.. but this is a cup final. if he was shaky during his first game which was a regular ass road match i don't have a whole lot of confidence in his nerve during a cup final where they'll be throwing everything at us.

that being said.. i hope that he proves my ass wrong, has a standout game, creates a forum account and literally tells me to go fuck myself.

I always think these late games against Western teams seem unfair. Even though they often travel out a couple of days before the game, the jet lag is still there and the Eastern teams are not finishing the game until nearly Midnight and there bodies are likely reacting accordingly.

I don't like this lineup... would rather Roberts starts, Hagglund over Bloom at RB is pretty damning on Bloom, and I'd rather Hamilton up top to provide some hold up play.

At the start of the year Roberts was said to have won the backup role... what did Roberts or Bono do to change that? I don't understand why management is higher on Bono at all.

Not quite. Jacobson is playing CB instead of DM.
This because "Err'd" was eaten alive by seba in last game. Parker sides out to RB from CB. Caps also don't want to play Kah who is leading candidate for the worst player in MLS.

From the games i have watched this season, they play better when Morales plays at DM but really a deep lying play maker and the other south american ACM they have plays at ACM. They might make that switch at 60.

Looks like their leading striker Rivero is done with the club, and will be sent back to Chile. He's a good active holdup #9 but has totally lost his confidence in the goal scoring dept. Hurtado has been playing mostly USL this season IIRC.


Ousted;
Parker, Jacobson, Waston, Harvey;
Laba, Teibert;
Bolaņos, Morales, Manneh;

So when a western team plays out east everyone should have to stay up for 9pm starts to be fair to the west teams? I'm sure parents and people that work early would love that... Just as much as anyone in Vancouver would want to try make it home from work and to the stadium by 5pm.

Thank you. It's not like Vanney and co. had any bias to Bono. In the beginning of the year, Q was declared the no. 2 goalkeeper and he lost it. Based on Dunfield commentary, he was critical of Q and his ability to handle crosses in the box.

He seems pretty central so far.

Hagglund at RB is the head scratcher for me... could be shades of him getting roasted by Castillo early last year with him up against Manneh today.

Cup Final. Tense affair. Vancouver is relying upon the press and TFC is having none of it. Biggest issue is Delgado can't make the passes and he has to stay back to help out Hagglund. Osorio is trying but Laba is pretty darn good. Endoh would do better on the right but I suspect they'll wait to see if Manneh comes off at 60 to make that move. They are going full bore at Hagglund but he's holding out, so far. Can't cross or shoot.

Mind you...

where did Hagglund's flat long throws come from?

Dasovic is quite the bitter little bitch these days, isn't he?

Exactly. He started the game pretty neutral, but some of the stuff he said in the 2nd half was just way off base. No shit Dasovic, when Vancouver plays dumb-ass tricks like that in extra time, of course the ref should add another minute or so.

So happy it worked out this way. I hope Johnson is OK. The way they were mobbing him after the game, I guess it can't be that serious. Now he's walking. But I hope TFC brass don't consider this some great achievement. Much closer & luckier than it should have been. Lots of dumb decisions by players & the coaching staff. Even stupid things near the end, like Osorio and Hagglund pushing over Vancouver players trying to get the ball. That's only going to waste even more time.

Hopefull ball played into the Vancouver box, Ousted and a defender both went for it, the defender backed into Ousted who could only punch it weakly rather than catch it (it should have been and easy take) The ball broke to Will Johnson who hit a rocket into the roof of the net, injuring his knee in the resulting collision with Ousted.

He was right in there though when the cup was actually awarded, he looked genuinely happy. Plus the locker room scene.

I could see him having some conflicted feelings though. Busy stretch, long trips, multiple games on turf. Did you see the rug burns some of the guys had? Deep enough that they were bleeding. Giovinco also got stepped on & fouled a couple of times w/o calls especially near the beginning. He's missing some pretty easy shots, and the rest of the team is quite brain dead.

In between the TFC games, he's seeing & hearing all the Euro hype...

When Ousted was wasting time on that goal kick I thought it was over, there was no way. And then that tackle from Morrow, that touch by Johnson, the pass to Endoh in space. I thought could it be? A weak ball into the box, I stood there hoping, and then it fell on a platter... Johnson absolutely smashed the life out of that ball and when the net rippled. Pure ecstasy. Gotta love soccer, incredible moment i will never forget.

^This. At any rate, it's supposed to be a MINIMUM of 4 minutes of added time, so if any team wastes time, the ref is well within his powers to add additional time. It really bugs me when refs play to exactly the allotted stoppage time, even when the team leading blatantly wastes time or makes a stoppage-time substitution.

All in all, I'm proud of the boys for that one - congrats TFC! I really hope Will Johnson is alright.

Seems a bit stupid tho to not actually get to play Concacaf Champions League until August 2017 now. I believe it was because they wanted to know the teams that are competing in Concacaf Champions League before June........also I believe Vancouvin aer and Toronto would like to know further in advance due to the fact BC Lions and Argos share the stadiums, and they need to make the schedule dvance, in June the CFL season has already started meaning they can't plan when to book the stadiums for Champions League matches.

I hate to rain on the parade but Seba got the goal in the first leg, but you raise a very valid point. 5 of 6 goals scored were by Canadians. Side note I thought Bono played well. It's hard to blame him on either goal tonight. Sure he probably should have come out to punch on the first but there is no way Moor or Morrow should have let him get the free header. It was far from perfect but the boys needed the win tonight. As for WJ, I can only imagine his emotions. To score the winning goal in the Canadian championship as a Canadian.

A couple asshats were turned around chirping us at 1-0, even more at 2-0, the stadium was getting real loud heading into added time, they were so sure they had won. The silence after the goal aside from the 20-30 reds celebrating was deafening, and the asshats wouldn't turn to look at us anymore. It was beautiful.

It wasn't just the goal..Johnson played an early pass in his own half..ran the length of the field into the box blasted the shot and sacrificed his body for the goal & the Championship. the guy is a legend now.

Just saw the highlights .... what a way to take the stink of the Orlando game out of the air!

More silverware! More Champs League! More Win!

On a side note ... was Johnson seriously hurt? What's the latest there?

I believe he was seriously hurt. He was still limping post game at the trophy presentation. As to how serious it is, at this point your guess is as good as mine. We will probably hear within the next day or so.

Sooooo it's been almost an hour and TSN still hasn't shown highlights from this game :facepalm:


Pernell Karl getting traded is more important lol

Finally showed it 1.5 hours later. Only found enough time to show the winning goal. Back to hockey highlights (in June).

Disgraceful.

I'm gonna go with torn MCL. I saw a picture of the exact moment of the collision. His leg and knee for pushed backwards by Ousted's body while his foot was still planted in the turf. I'd guess he's done for the season.

When the goal went in my friends and I fell into a table at the bar. God I loved it. Feel the silence in Vancouver lol.

Not that it had anything to do with alcohol, though. :) Then we got kicked out.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but, that post that Vancouver hit not long before Will's (I jumped off the couch and ran through the living room) miracle strike...I turned to my wife, and said, "imagine if they still come back and win this after that".
I want to give "props" to Bono too. I was one of the ones that said Roberts should start, but, Bono looked solid. Handled the ball well...dispersed it even better late in the game.
Wow, just, WOW!! Tired as heck this morning at work, BUT, so worth it!!

Now that it's settled in, I think last night has to be the most memorable moment in ACC history for us, especially when you consider the number of reserves we had on the pitch.

On a bitter note, we can't afford to lose Johnson for an extended period of time with all of our other key starters out. That epic goal might cost us in the short term in MLS.

True, shocking performance but what a finish haha.

That's some Martin Tyler-like calling from those two.

oh my gosh. ooooooh my gosh.

Yup, I mentioned Nigel Reed earlier, who I don't love but who's clearly more capable than Rauter for soccer. At least there's a general flow to his commentary that's easy to follow. Rauter for some reason just can't seem... to decide... if he should... finish... his sentence or not. And as we can see he can't really respond to the big moment. It's like he gets caught off-guard because he doesn't have several minutes to set up the big moment like he can in curling. Dasovic was even worse for this (I actually like his analysis, but he let his bias take over). This is going down as one of the most memorable TFC goals ever and these two completely bungled the call. Whereas Reed was calling the game vs. the Red Bulls late last year and he nailed it when Giovinco scored.

How was hagglund out wide? Time to trade some CBs?

I would say, Hagglund was the same as vs. Orlando. Not too bad actually on the ball & during the plays, although he did get all twisted up once yesterday. (Happens to our opponents at the other end as well though.) Off the ball, I was sometimes really scared. His positioning was frequently way off. We could have been burned. The way it actually worked out, Morrow looked way worse though, he was at least partially at fault for both goals yesterday.

Both Orlando & Vancouver didn't seem well coached wrt. Hagglund. Guys should have been bombing down that side all game. Both games, they barely tested him. We won't be so lucky in other games.

What the hell is up with Mark Bloom? There's been a couple of interviews, how he recuperated from his injuries etc. and is all fit. But he just sits on the bench. I don't get it.

Also Morrow needs a break. Morgan isn't listed as injured, but apparently he is??!!

Heck, Rauter can't even decide when to finish saying a player's name. john........ SON! It's too bad, when he's talking you can tell he's pretty knowledgeable. He knows all kinds of tidbits about TFC's history, and the players. (Or at least he's good at getting the info off of his notes.) If he could just normalize his speaking style, he would be half decent. Better than almost all the US announcers on MLS Live.

Its really really hard to do what Nigel Reed did back last October

Here's his call of the Seba goal that night


Now Warner
Osorio
Giovinco inevitably ahead of him
An air of expectation
Giovinco
Still Giovinco
Oh Giovinco
Oh My Word
That is Absolutely Exceptional
What can you say about Sebastian Giovinco
He’s probably scored the goal that takes TFC
To the promised land of the playoffs
Its 2 nothing
Its Giovinco again


I will remember that Seba goal for a number of reasons, but the call is what pulls me back to the video.

As for last night, this video is what is getting me.

Last night was weird for me. I was kind of pissed with how the game was slipping away like many I am sure and I lost faith that we were going to get a goal but then out of the blue this play happened and I saw it go in and I yelled "yes" but then stayed in my chair totally anticipating it being called back for some reason but it didn't. I guess maybe I was in shock. My son however,as the goal went in, ripped his shirt off, threw it at the wall and ran through the house screaming. Funny how our reactions were so different. Will be glad to cheer for the boys on Saturday when they make the announcement about the championship before the Seattle game.
