this post says Saturday July 2nd but the MLS website and the schedule says Saturday July 3rd. so I'm sure it's on the Saturday and not the Friday. Probably just a mistake.

Woke up this morning and couldn’t remember if the game was tonight or on the weekend. Very glad it’s on the weekend - not sure if I’m ready to suffer through watching an Armas led team play again after this past weekend…

From Buffery, sounds like no Poz on Saturday. I wonder if Armas’ advanced training tactics have injured someone again.

When is somebody going to ask some serious questions about our injury problems? It sucked even under Vanney and it's gotten worse. It got really bad the year after TFC won the Cup, TFC management talked about it, they hired some highfalutin sports science company so that would never happen again. But we kept having injuries, the sports science company was never mentioned again, and nobody can figure out what's wrong and nobody talks about it. And then TFC apparently forgot to deal with fitness during the last off-season after some of Vanney's guys left.

This is actually a good point. Why is it only the important players that are getting injured?????

Why Osorio and not Endoh.

Actually, I think Endoh was 9n the injury list this year at one point. I think we just don't care as much about the 15 to 21 players, so we don't notice. I could definitely be wrong, though.

Could it be they train and/or play more then others?

Or maybe issues with the medical staff, including the possibility of not knowing how to treat (medically) them correctly?

Plus some of them also play with their respective national teams as well, so that should be taken into consideration as well.

I just hope that whoever we hire to replace Armas brings in a legit medical staff. Our old one was trash but this Ex-LA Galaxy run one is no better.

I took the Tfc ten starters

Total possible minutes is 900. 90 x 10 games
Jozy 21%
Oso. 30%
Soltedo 30%
Poz. 21%

Omar 80%
Bradley 100%
Marky. 80%
Mavinga 80%

Just a little stat I read on the TFC site.

"Toronto FC has lost five straight games and now has lost 11 times in its last 15 games (W2 D2, including playoffs). Prior to this run, the Reds had suffered just 10 losses in their previous 48 matches dating back to May 2019 (W23 D15)."

If that isn't enough to get you sacked......Well I'm going to bet a beer that we don't win more than two games in the next five, surly he has got to be sacked then right?

Kamp Berg
07-03-2021, 11:13 AM
My prediction for today’s game is a 2-2 tie that we easily could have won if it wasn’t for stupid mistakes and some great missed chances. And then the FO will toot its own horn about progress being made and how great the team played against such a strong opponent. That or a ridiculous loss that makes everyone angry.

Edit: I really hope that neither happens 😢

I suspect a factor could be if the MLSE board is even willing to buy out the remaining of Armas' contact to begin with.

I was trying to find out on Google how long his contract is, and came across this article on The Athletic which I had missed:

https://theathletic.com/2326173/2021/01/15/toronto-fc-chris-armas-mls/

Interesting paragraph I found:

"It’s even more important to understand the lens through which TFC viewed this search. The club expects to contend for MLS Cup this and every season. Curtis and club president Bill Manning wanted to hire someone capable of winning immediately — someone who wouldn’t take a long time to adjust to Toronto or MLS. That wasn’t the only consideration, of course, but it’s fair to assume that it hurt international candidates, who have historically struggled in the league, and MLS assistants without prior experience as head coaches."

Armas’s contract should be a rounding error in all this. He would of had little negotiation leverage and MLS coaches are generally not highly paid to begin with.

I would be willing to bet money that Curtis was able to hire Armas without any in-house kick back because Armas has a winning record as a head coach. Forget about all the reasons why he does, especially like taking over a team where he was an assistant from a highly successful coach, ‘no excuses’ only applies in this circumstance. FML 🤦🏼

Vanney used to talk about players needing to play “within themselves”, not overextending or trying things that they’re not capable of. Players can do overextend themselves but they also have to be put in a position to succeed. That’s why this club was constantly trading decent MLS vets early on and regretting it.
