Can't tell from the tv angle if the body is over that line, but it also looks as if there is space between Seba's foot and the ball in the best shot we're looking at.Quote:

Is Jozy ok??? That limp terrified me.
Bradley's supplementary coaching kept the team together last year while Vanney was learning on the job. Now that Vanney is better and Giovinco has learned some rudimentary English, he's spreading quality throughout this team, he treats our rookies like a strict highschool French teacher lol. Spanks them when they screw up and embraces them when they do good. Guess it's the Juventus academy style.
Hopefully a courtesy to help him recover at home Need a strong midfield to have a chance in HondurasQuote:

Yeah, CanMNT still sucks, in a couple years when our academies produce better players maybe. TFC has a fighting chance to make some history, wouldn't be surprised if Johnson refused to contribute to our success this year. Winning the MLS cup for a Canadian superclub is patriotic enough!Quote:

We have been burned many a time with a slightly offside goal against, Orlando and Kreis (he is a knob) can suck it up.
We win they lose, we are in a good spot and good teams seem to get the bounces, and TFC are getting the bounces these days.
I am pleased with the football being played by our team. :scarf::flare::drum::canada: and of course: :drinking:

His emphasis on last syllables in names was weird, then annoying, then won me over (but only because we were scoring).Quote:

We're allowed to disagree. Just pointing out the alternate opinion.
I'm celebrating first place. Wish Johnson was a bigger part of it. Sad about him not playing in the window.
This game was amazeballs for Canada supporters in Toronto. :canada:
Toronto is in first? In the Suppository Sled race and possible pusplopps bye? What alternate dimension have I landed in? :D
O my gawd.Quote:

That was a damm fine night last night.
Not only does winning (sort of) silence all the vanney haters, but it boosts the attitude and confidence of the players.Quote:

Orlando needs some serious work. Larin and Kaka were really their only dangerous players last night and you could easily tell the game plan for them was simple. Play a long ball to Larin and hope he wins the foot race. If too close to do long ball to Larin, get the ball to Kaka on the wing and see if he can do something with it. Repeat as many times as necessary. Even when it was evident that TFC figured out what they were doing, they kept doing it. Even some Orlando fans made a similar remark about that in some comments I read. We had those games too when we only had the young guys and Giovinco...where our sole game plan was get the ball to Seba. So I understand the frustration from Orlando fans. I kind of wish all the talk about Supporters Shield and MLS Cup would die down though. It's understandable I guess with the run we are on but I don't ever like to put the cart before the horse. MLS site loves to put those types of articles on their site though for whichever team is hot at the time.
Was Jozy offside? WHO THE FUCK CARES? After getting screwed over late in the match the last time our side was in Shithole City, I'd say the Reds got positive karma handed to them. And I love it!
Beasts of the East: Toronto FC! :scarf:
fantastic win!!......this has beena long time coming for the team.....and us!
Altidore continues to be a best since coming back......grest stuff.
and y'all act like Rauter just started doing the name thing now......
he's really been doing it since the days of Dominic Mo BIIIIIIII lio and Paul Peschiso LIIIIII do :D
I only saw the highlights but I'm curious, were they playing Nick Haglund up front. He looked like he was in every attack.
Don't forget Alex BUNNNNburYYYYYY!Quote:

Vic used to do the play by play of the old Canadian Soccer League from the late eighties to the early nineties, with Graham Leggat as his color man.Quote:

Right. Yes. Thank you.Quote:
