Still trying to figure out my game plan of when to leave to drive into Toronto during Friday rush hour traffic. Definitely not used to Fridays yet but we had them before. I may just go early and get a roti at Island Foods on King for dinner.

Think for a lot there is going to be a Playoffs/MLS Cup/CCL hangover.

After playoffs then 3 big games against Mexican teams the thoughts of Philly are probably a bit

Yeah, I got really really tired coming home last Saturday - TFC fatigue.

Then I remembered I really enjoyed the first 60 mintues against Chicago - we looked like world beaters. That counter attack with the goal called back was brilliant stuff.

I look forward to the potential of some of that again tonight, except with it lasting the 90.

This is our seventh home game, and the weather has been lousy for the first six. It doesn’t look that great for tonight. I gave up my SSH in part because of this - I mostly don’t want to go to games early or late in the year (playoff games excepted of course).

Too many games, and too many games in bad weather. Back in 2007 our first home game was April 28. (It was pretty crappy weather that day.)

Also just plain old fatigue. TFC has been a massive priority for most of last six months.

Also ask anyone not a regular on this board to name a Philly player. (Someone I know thinks CJ Sapong is the name of a sex club in Bangkok.)

(The pitch being bad affects my interest a bit too. Makes everything random. )

Looking forward to a genuinely nice night at BMO, soon I hope.

Honestly was doing this with people at the Footy Talks last night. We struggled to name anyone past 3-4 players even.

Lets hope the weather improves today!

It's not a beautiful matchup, but we got a lot of home games coming up so maybe Wednesday vs Seattle will stir the pot!

Looks like the wind will be tonight's weather factor...

it's not the number of games that's an issue for me - i love going to the games, it's almost a meditative thing, but can we PLEASE have some half decent weather?!?

I'm really on the fence about going this evening as the forecast looks horrid....and naturally Saturday is sunny and 20....geez.....

Its the sustained winds of 50 kph that will be most interesting. Out of the west usually means it goes north to south on the field.

5 of 7 home games in all competition on weeknights.
5 of next 5 home games on weeknights.

Games in the spring are extremely unpredictable weather wise so at least give us a fighting chance and have more Saturday afternoon games.

For me, this is awful.

What game this season will we have a trifecta?
1. Our starting 11 are healthy
2. The pitch is in great shape
3. The weather is a non factor

Flights aren't landing at Pearson apparently. My bro in law had my tickets for the game and his flight from the peg turned back an hour into the trip

Pitch is better, not perfect but it looks like a short trim job which makes it better for a passing team like ours.
If you have the choice do you take wind at your back in the 1st half?

Been some talk about us needing a TAM CB, which I thought would've been nice... turns out we signed one in Van der Wiel.

Giovinco is ready to burst into flame any second now, he's so frustrated.
