Weather forecast for gametime Saturday is 32 degrees, 94% humidity, thunderstorms intermittently.
They may need snorkels.
A win against Orlando and TFC are level at 19 points and tied for 8th (although TFC have fewer wins so technically below). It's the small victories at this point.

Mavinga tweet: "I'm fit to play"
I interpret that tweet as "I am offering my services to play in the WC final for France"Quote:

Not obviously easy.
Orlando's defence is horrid & that isn't going to change with the coach. Our defence over the last few weeks is still probably better then theirs. Its going to come down to who can finish their chances & whether we fall behind early.
This is the key, TFC have been asleep for the first quarter of an hour in virtually every match this year, Fucking wake up TFC. Everyone is wondering around like they have never been on a pitch before, and never played together, is it the same in training?Quote:

I have no expectations while we have all the injuries and make shift lineups. No expectations = No disappointment/stress. Just looking forward to seeing a good game and hopefully we get something out of it. My higher expectations will return when our full lineup returns. Go Reds!!!
Apparently Jozy travelled with the team today. If past experience holds true to form, this is him getting used to the travel regime again & he won't be in the 18.
BUT....if he's able to get in 30 minutes vs. Chicago next week, that's huge.
His fam lives in Florida so wouldnt read too much into it
He’s on the bench!Quote:

3 forwards on the bench - 1 defender
It's hard to believe that we sit below a team that has lost 9 in a row, hopefully their defence is still in shambles and we can score a few quick ones and boss a game like we used to
Bendik benched. Johnson as the DM. Justin Meram (big time TAM purchase) not even in the 18 - coach's decision.
i hv a bad feeling about tonight.new coach 9 losses in a row and the haggs/zava combo
Morrow, altidore,mavinga.. Slowly but surely
No Auro or vdW ... what's going on there?
Oh dear Hagglund.
I swear Rauter gets more insufferable every year.
Watch this game if you think Seba hasn't regressed
Hagglund jumping in and getting caught in no man's land....again.
lol ok
