TFC II have moved to the new MLS Next pro in 2022 after playing in USL since 2015. They currently do not have a coaching staff including a head coach as far as I know. Will be interesting to see who they name to it after Mike Munoz took a role with the Galaxy. Assistant Coach and TFC legend Danny Dichio took a same role with Sacramento in USL ending a 15 year run with the club as both player and coach. As usual I am expecting the roster to be young made of mostly academy graduates and draft picks with a few others sprinkled in. Also their home playing field has not yet been decided as noted on the schedule which was released today. The field at the training ground that have played on since 2019 does not have lights and such they normally played at 4 pm on Fridays since the first season in USL League One. Wonder where they may end up, Lamport Stadium, BMO Field etc. All 24 games will be streamed on the MLS Next Pro website. Very little info has been released by TFC on the current news of their reserve team, hope this improves.

No home game starts later than 7:00pm and the early season games are in the afternoon and the only game in September starts at 5pm. Maybe they think they can finish their games before it gets dark?
Games at the training center would be a money saver.

Considering they needed a stadium with lights as there will be night games this up coming season playing at Lions Stadium on the campus of York is actually pretty good being just a few footsteps from the subway. The only other option I saw was going back downtown to Lamport Stadium.

Had a great at the TFC II game this afternoon for their home opener. What a beautiful day it was for a match. Ralph's kid brother Hugo had a big day with a brace and a lot of good chances. Ran into Bob and talked about the VAR review on Jayden's goal last night, still don't get it as his foot was on the ball the entire time.

It is part of our season ticket package, so yes if its officially open to the general public you would just show your membership card. I went to one of the two games at the training ground last year that was open and they were most concerned with my vaccination status that actually seeing my membership. I do not think they are overly concerned about it in general.

It is great you got in =today. Still not really sure what the issue is with letting the general public in as opposed to what they are doing by letting in family and friends, nothing from the past suggests they would get hit with huge numbers at the gate if they did. I rather enjoyed going last weekend after being invited by a player, quite enjoy being able to hear all the dialogue on the pitch and from the bench.

Most of our first team's young guys seem afraid to try anything like that so they just pass it back and sideways until we lose possession. I'm still shocked that none of them just said 'screw it' and went all Richie, doing runs all over, being uncomforatbly direct, especially the ones who will be losing their spots.

It's not exactly TFC2 finished 1st. It's MLSNP vs EPL2. They aggregated all the team matches. TFC played only the one game. Weird that they even had "standings" since it was a bunch of one-off friendlies between the Real Salt Lake, Colorado Rapids and TFC B teams and thr Chelsea and Wolves U21 teams. Maybe it was Ali Curtis's idea.

Great to see them extended their unbeaten streak to 9 games with their 2-1 victory on the road at Rochester Friday night. Canadian draft pick Reshaun Walkes scored the game winner after netting a brace last weekend. With the win TFC II jumped into second place in the Eastern Conference.

They've been using a separate line at Gate 3. Sort of like that BMO cardholder line at Gate 1. It's not really much of a perk since you can enter wherever regardless and most people in the stadium are SSH.

Keeping in mind Philly's had the most productive youth setup in the league for the last five years, the new manager is doing something right. Won the east, beat Philly. The way they played yesterday they might beat the first team.

I watched a bit of TFC2 last year, he basically all along the left side (LB/LM/LW). Not sure how he's been used this year, I couldn't get into watching games this year because the camera angles in MLSNP were so terrible.

Looks like defence is a problem with TFC 2 also. You are twice in the lead and not only do you give up a late goal in the final minutes of regular time, but you also take the lead in extra time and then go ahead and not only have Columbus tie the game in extra time but again give up a late goal in extra time and lose the game , sounds like I can be talking about the first team . If this crap continues next season heads need to roll right through this sorry organization.

Looks like defence is a problem with TFC 2 also. You are twice in the lead and not only do you give up a late goal in the final minutes of regular time, but you also take the lead in extra time and then go ahead

TFC2 scored in the final seconds of regular time. They didn't allow the tying goal.
