Been saving this one for today.

Chivas' Liga MX results at the Akron in the Clausura in 2018 so far:

Loss to Cruz Azul 3-1
Loss to Monterrey 2-1
Loss to Santos Laguna 2-0
Tied Pachuca 1-1
Tied America 1-1
Tied Tigres 0-0
Loss to Veracruz 1-0

We get anything going at all, and that stadium is going to get very uneasy in a hurry.

Far from over. Futbol is a funny sport. The better team usually shows up in the end. Bradley seemed extremely confident that they will rebound. Score first and take control of the game. I feel confident.

The two things that have me feeling cautiously optimistic is that the field will likely be better and no one has to worry about picking up a yellow anymore.

I actually saw this on Twitter. Couldn’t believe that. Chivas has been a different/more scrappy team in the CCL. But that record at home should give us some hope. We really need to get a goal in the first 30. That would make things tense for them.

I haven't lost hope. I know it's a big mountain to climb, but they got two relatively lucky goals last night and we were all over them for long stretches. Altidore, at full speed, does not miss those chances. This is not over.

Here's how I see this situation.

TFC's first ever playoff appearance was in the 2015 Eastern Conference knockout, where our side lost badly to the L'Impact in Montreal. Next year, our side faced off against Montreal in the playoffs again in the 2016 Eastern Final, where the Reds avenged their playoff loss against the L'Impact in one of the most thrilling playoff series in MLS history.

In the MLS Cup Final that year, TFC lost to Seattle, where the Snot Greens parked the bus all night and didn't register a single shot on goal. The next year, the Reds faced Seattle in the Final again, and defeated the Snot Greens in the most convincing of fashions for the club's first ever Cup.

I'd like to think that TFC will take that embarrassing loss they suffered last night, go down to Mexico and avenge it with a thorough victory over Chivas in front of their fans, thus making Toronto FC the first ever MLS side to capture the CONCACAF Champions League title.

I wish. But the reality is that he hasn't played a full 90 all year and hasn't played at all since he came on for 12 or so minutes against Tigres. I think that the team is unfortunately going to need to do this without him.

We are the more talented team. But they were well organized and we lacked sharpness both in finishing and in defending.

But we can do it. I believe we will do it.

Here is how the smartest football minds see it:
I looked at all the scores we needed to get to win the championship and looked at the odds and then converted the odds to probabilities
we have about a 18% probability of winning this chmpionship
it would have been 48% if Bono did not make the error

this would equate to 5.5 decimal odds
2.0 decimal odds without Bono error

I don't know if I necessarily agree with this as I have seen this team win some really clutch games.
The oddsmakers don't know the heart of this team.

Well look who conceded a goal 50 seconds into their match against their cross-town rivals. Mostly subs but that was their regular starting goalkeeper.

P5N6HCTnkTM

I don't think the goalkeeper has to take full blame for that goal.
He needed to stay close enough to the goal line to prevent a shot on the goal by the player who has centered, and so he could not be far enough from the goal line to block that centered pass to the goalscorer.
Maybe he could have committed to plunge ahead to block that low cross, but then again, there was a defender running with the goal scorer, so maybe he hoped that the the defender can make a clearance...

Can we just have some fun here?

We were inches away from, first NY, then Columbus, putting us out, and leaving us fuming for months.

Until this year, no MLS team had EVER won a tie with a Mexican team, when the second leg was in Mexico. We have done that twice now. I think our odds of beating either Tigres or America were around 25%. So the odds of beating both of them was around 6%.

We are not supposed to be here. We were 50/50 against Chivas, so the odds of beating all three were 3%.

3%.

Chivas aren’t as good as the teams we beat, but the guys on their team that made the plays that beat us, Pulido and Pizarro, cost a combined $30M in transfers. We spend more than anyone in MLS, but we don’t/can’t come close to competing with that kind of splashing.

Yet we still outplayed them, but... agonizingly, gave up crappy soft goals. Let’s leave the agony behind. It may have wrecked the tie, but it may not have. We have a fighter’s chance.

It’s kind of a weird thing, these games don’t get much buildup because of the pacing, and it’s at 9.30pm on a Wednesday night.... but this is bigger, way bigger, than MLS Cup 2018, and more interesting to boot.

I couldn’t be more thrilled, just to be in this position. Win or lose. I hope the team are loose, and go out there, and have a ball.

Probably they should have done that 1 month ago, but they thought they can bring him back for both games of the CONCACAF final, if TFC would get there.
So there's already 1 month lost...

If VV were really good to go, we wouldn’t be hearing a thing about it.

Listening to Max (Bretos) and Herc (Gomez) 's podcast, they are talking a bit about some serious friction between Chivas players and the club board over a number of grievances, including unpaid past performance bonuses, mentioned by Ensco above. Will be a subtext to the game on Wednesday. Also, a player strike is looming that may affect league games on the weekend, over player movement freedom.

Athletes find motivation in many different ways. Wayne Gretzky used a column written by Star hockey scribe Bob McKenzie, saying he was finished, to play his best hockey in leading the Kings over the Leafs in the 1993 Stanley Cup semi finals. Michael Jordan used getting looked over as NBA MVP for Karl Malone to spearhead his Bulls past Malone's Jazz in the NBA Finals.

Getting the shit end of the stick by your team's employers financially definitely sucks for Chivas' players. But it didn't hurt them last week on the first leg of the final in frigid Toronto, and now they're playing with two away goals for their home fans on the second leg. I still say its a motivating factor for them that TFC need to be prepared for if they are to capture the CONCACAF title.

I agree. From what I understand, chivas will do everything for the title and then possibly protest afterwards (not playing for wins).

Or it could be they know they were lucky with all those chances tfc had and they like to settle their bonuses now before they feel tfc's wrath lol

I had a moment watching Liverpool-Roma where I allowed myself to think objectively about the scoreline. When Roma made it 5-2, my friends and I said Roma could salvage the tie and then it hit me if Roma can overcome a 3 goal deficit TFC can overcome a 2-1 defeat at home. Hell, it happens all the time all over the world. This is more than doable.

I have a nervous energy right now and I am having trouble concentrating at work. T-minus 16 hours until kickoff. This team are warriors and battle ready. We can do this. 2 years ago we walked into Yankee Stadium against NYC who during the season had a home record of 8 wins 3 losses and 6 draws with a +8 GD. They were supposed to be the stronger team and we put 5 on them. I realize that Chivas is no NYC and Akron is no Yankee Stadium, but the point remains the same. We are capable of doing this. This team is the class of the league and here is our chance to cement it. This 90 minutes will stress me to no end but it doesn't change a thing. I BELIEVE!!!

Heart and Balls to win it all. Lets win another trophy. ALL FOR ONE

Chivas team wearing shirts to practice protesting management. They will want to win to force management to "sign their cheque."

We understand what that is all about. It wasn't that long ago that we had a messed up management mishandling things.

Chivas will be very hard to beat. If TFC gets an early goal, if Vazquez can play at least part of the game there is a chance. If TFC starts down 2-0 it's game over.

Nervously optimistic.

If it's any MLS team that has the talent and heart to pull it out, it has to be Toronto. Every player seems relaxed in all these interviews and social media posts.

My dad when he was coaching would always say, a team will have a bad game in a tournament, you just hope it doesn't cost you. TFC looks like a team that knows they've had their one "bad" game in the tournament but know that they have a lot of time to turn it around and will bring their A game tonight.

I would agree with the comment about Vazquez normally if he was at game fitness/sharpness and healed completely but I am not sure how much he can give. Also, I think it is risky using a sub for a player that might need a sub if his issue is as dodgy as it looks and it comes back after 10 min of game time. Bradley says the way to beat Chivas man to man formation is to constantly move fast which is not exactly Vazquez's thing. I would love to see a fully fit Vazquez out there but I don't think this is good timing to bring him back at this point. Good thing is I don't have to make that decision and Vanney does. :)

Just moments of Silence.
Usually the black armband is for anyone who is directly related to the club/ownership.

When the Boston Marathon Bombing happened the Red Sox had the 'Boston Strong' Patch.

Bradley/Vanney did mention they were looking at something to wear during the game but that could be anything. (My personal vote is everyone wears the Toronto flag captains armband, with Bradley wearing the generic one as well.)

My problem is that Chivas needs not to be beaten, but to be beaten with 2 goals!
It's a humongous difference between the 2 things.

I can see us winning with 1-0 or 2-1, but anything else would be highly unprobable.

And if it's ending regulation time 2-1 for TFC, and penaties looming, we know that we suck ass at penalties...

Probably they should have done that 1 month ago, but they thought they can bring him back for both games of the CONCACAF final, if TFC would get there.
So there's already 1 month lost...

Based on everything I'm reading, the team is going to go into the game with a different game plan then before. We'll see what happens. Something weird in the first 10 minutes could blow that all up.

All I know is that if there is one team in MLS who could figure out how to win this competition tonight, its TFC.

If they do, its a result for the ages.

If they don't, I'm extremely proud of how much they have fought and schemed for the badge for these last two months (Mexican & anti-Bradley/Jozy trolls will just be ignored). We are the best team MLS has ever seen - we took Tigres down - we took Club America down. That is nothing to sniff at and ignore.

No matter what the result, we will remember this run for many years.

That frozen pitch in Colorado.

The winter that never ended.

Osorio's backheel.

Alitdore's massive run.

Giovinco's free kick.

Morgan's return.

Mavinga's interventions.

Bradley's massive passing rate.

Bono's saves.


Regardless of the result tonight, nobody can take that away from us.

Yohan
04-25-2018, 11:02 AM
Those mental breakdowns that keeps coughing up goals early game needs to stop.
Altidore needs to be huge. I hope whatever bug he had last week is gone, b/c his hold up play creates so much space for attackers.
Giovinco needs to do his thing. A goal would be nice from him.
And watch for Chivas counters with pace.

Initial B
04-25-2018, 11:57 AM
I'm sick at home today. Reflecting on both the attack and the game. Chivas is playing for Pride of Club and Country and I gave them the edge. But with the attack in Toronto, I see TFC playing for Pride of Club and City, while also wanting to provide succor for its grieving citizens. I see both sides evenly matched in desire tonight, and I think back to those CCL final games where the Mexican teams would take whatever setback they experienced in the first leg and roll up the second leg for a win. It's time for TFC to turn the tables. I want TFC to do to Chivas was CA did to the Impact in 2016. I will believe right up to the final whistle. I will support them always.

Looks like they are showing the CCL Final second leg on one of the side screens at Maple Leaf Square along with the Raptors on the main screen and the leafs on another screen, but unfortunately can't see too many in that square tonight staying to watch the TFC game that starts more or less at the end of the other two games. I was watching the news showing people already gathering at Maple Leaf Square and saw a lot of Leaf and Raptor Jerseys even the odd Jays jerseys but no TFC jerseys in site. Kind of sad for such a big game but just goes to show that TFC is still a very niche thing here Toronto. However, sometimes niche is good actually.

The boys have done well.

Penalties are to me basically a coin toss at this point.

Delgado's miss will haunt my dreams. The trophy was right fucking there. Right. There.

We never had a chance in penalties with our luck on them and the players we had out on the field.

Damn, what an exciting final. Props to TFC forcing penalty shots. Man, Bradley froze there. Gotta practice penalty shots. I think if TFC try again next season, make sure you get the #1 overall rexord.

Still proud of these guys, magic run, let's do it again next year and win it!

A cruel ending to the tournament. A few fewer injuries and we probably walk over Chivas, or beat them in regulation at least.

Ah well. Well fought.

The Bradley haters are going to talk about that one forever - I don't give a fuck.

Went farther then any other team in MLS has ever gone. Beat a team in Mexico at their stadium. Beat arguably the two best teams in Mexico.

And Osorio, but at least he hit the bar. Was not meant to be, but TFC played well

Well if there's anything we know about this team, is that we can make it to another final.

Just let's makes sure we don't let that one go to penalties as well.

gracos
04-25-2018, 10:41 PM
we forfeited 3 points, to lose to penalties, next year just focus on MLS; so not worth it going to penalties and losing

All the way for this. Plus now the team is so injured, MLS play will be brutal for a while.

NolbertoS
04-25-2018, 10:43 PM
Anyone notice how Bono was sent the wronf way on 4 of those penalty shots. Did Vanney not study where each Chivas player will kick in which direction?? There’s always a pattern when taking penalties

gracos
04-25-2018, 10:43 PM
forfeit the tournament next year so not worth the injuries to hurt the league

We know penalties are a cruel and awful way to end a tournament. It was a great run by TFC.

Why does Delgado keep missing those, when he's inside the box... -_- no finishing touch... would have liked to see aketxe and Hamilton right after gio on the PKs

What the hell with all these bloody injuries I’ve never seen a team with so many injuries just incredible! Like every fucking game it seems Jozy is getting injured, every game one of our main players is out, like what’s going on here what gives?

Wow, Bradley went full Beckham on that last one. So close... Oh, Marky... :cryin:

You really see what it means for Chivas to win, true team spirit and determination.

Congrats to them, and I hope they get their management to pay them.

We know penalties are a cruel and awful way to end a tournament. It was a great run by TFC.

That is because We have a coach that doesn't prepare for them. Actually working on those and practising taking and stop them would have done wonders.. in fact I suspect if they had spend a little time doing it Delgado would have kept the ball down.. at least once tonight. That is two trophies lost due to penalties both times it should have been practiced and prepared for.

Heartbreaking...:(

Its hard to know what to say. We played well enough tonight, and had our chances (Delgado :facepalm:), but ultimately we just weren't good enough. In reality we lost this at BMO

Its been a ride, but to come home empty handed, its been a costly adventure :(

Really??? Sheesh.

Forfeit the tournament?

Great effort from the lads. We were one Delgado miss from winning this thing.
