Let's see if our somewhat depleted squad can make this a statement match, Come on lads time for a gritty win.
:scarf::flare::drum:
Man if we only had the whole team available we could do some damage....but we don't so....
I’d still prefer we bench the key guys for this. Pozuelo, Laryea, Akinola, Mavinga, Gonzalez should sit.
I'd play the strongest side possible and see where the other games are at during halftime...Quote:

Given the last two are unlikely, let's go Revs and Reds
Best time of year. Let's get this win and hope for the best.
You are probably right but I want to see this one.Quote:

Columbus @ Orlando tonight
Columbus win - we could end up in third still
Draw or Orlando win - we are guaranteed at least second
**********
You want second so you will play on of 7th through 9th in the first round.

Go Orlando. Who are a sneaky little pick to go far in the playoffs.
Also, 2nd plays at home v 3rd if they both advance.Quote:

lol at Columbus for losing to 10 man Orlando with Nani going off in the 52nd minute.
So it all comes down to Philly and our Reds on Sunday for first place in the east.Quote:

Rapids beat Portland - we are guaranteed at least second in the East and if we somehow, make it to the final, we host.
Yeah Nani's card was terrible, couldn't believe that got called.
Also the hand ball call and then ref went and reviewed and called it no hand ball against Portland in their game was pretty bad
Let's go win this game on Sunday!
WE MUST DREAM THE DREAM OF THE DREAM WITHIN THE DREAM.Quote:

Foot on ankle seems to be the call there but I'm not even sure that happened.
Clear and Obvious? Nope
Vanney says that Jozy may be available for this game.
I was just going to ask if anyone has heard anything about him. How likely is he to play in it? last 10-15 mins? fitness won't be there, hasn't touched a ball..i'd almost rather wait and have him just be ready for playoffs than risk it. However, supporters shield is on the line..so maybe they check what's happening at half-time and throw him in?
This is a tough call. A healthy Jozy significantly improves our attack however he probably lacks fitness and you don't want to risk injury. Having said that if the Shield is on the line then I bring him on in the 2nd half. The Shield is a major trophy.
No way Jozy starts. But a 20 minute cameo if the Shield is still in play could very well happen. If Philly is up 3-0 at the half though there should be no way Jozy touches the field until the playoffs.
But will the team be scoreboard watching, as the games are all at the same time? Some teams totally avoid that.Quote:

So maybe he'll be almost 100% fit in our 3rd playoff game (if we reach that) if playing in this one?
Luckily TFC won't play again until the 24th. That gives Jozy a full two weeks of training to get himself back into semi-game shape.Quote:
