Although TFC has been playing poorly in league play, this is a real chance for a win. 2-1 Toronto.
Get this. This is my number one. Turnaround starts here.
What do people think about lineup? TFC2 based? Or a chance to try and get some first team players some confidence back?
They need to give everything they’ve got for this series. Not doing so risks the tatters that are still left of this team.
At least three starters need to be Canadians - so Osorio, Fraser, Hamilton?Quote:

Regarding Canadian content, I have followed Canadian soccer closely for years. Don't ask how long. Been a fan, will remain a fan ! BUT so frustrating with our National team, seems to me The more Canadians TFC play , the more they lose! I like Osorio, has skill,But players like Hamilton, Fraser, Ricketts, Telfer,Morgan ...Are they really good ENOUGH ? even for MLS? Has TFC ever had an above average MLS player that was Canadian?, (excluding Osorio )Hate to be 'that' guy BUT geez, so disappointing....Thank God for Alphonso Davies ( wish he played for us ) ....
Dejan Jaković ! is still a starter for our National team, enough said....
Please for the love of Cthulhu I hope you are right.Quote:

Yeah, honestly, forgot about De Ro. Great Player. Club and Country. We have been around for 11 years now though. Any other Canadian that made a mark for club and country? all i'm asking.Quote:

BS man can't even watch the semi final of our national championship on television... what casual soccer / sports fan is going to tune in on the internet. So much for TSN being home for soccer in CanadaQuote:

Bradley, Altidore, Mavinga, van der Wiel and Giovinco not playing in small sided game with rest of #TFCLive. Wonder if they’ll be in 18 against Ottawa? - Kloke
This is a joke, right? If I see anything less than full strength against Ottawa tomorrow I will be livid. This is the only competition we still have a shot at and the only way we can book CCL. We even lost this match last year. Take it fucking seriously.
Thanks for the heads up. I guess this will be the first game since 2007 that I won't see in it's entirety unless there is a link to the full game somewhere afterwards. Oh well. It was a good streak while it lasted. :)Quote:

Projected Starting XI
(4-4-2, right to left)
GK: Clint Irwin — Nicolas Hasler, Julian Dunn, Nick Hagglund, Ashtone Morgan — Aidan Daniels, Jay Chapman, Liam Fraser, Ryan Telfer — Jordan Hamilton, Tosaint Ricketts
Seriously they will get pounded and embarrassed with that lineup I’m sorry the majority of those players are fringe USL players and I’m not joking !Quote:

This tie should be an afterthought.
They lost 2-1 last year to the Fury in Ottawa, so given the way TFC have been playing this year, who knows what will happen this time around.Quote:
