Man, if we give this one up it'll be an utter humiliation, because this is a shit team. We've missed so many open runs and chances. The second half focus has been gone.

Poz is a liability....
Bradley should retire. I’m not even joking. It hurts to watch him play so poorly after how good he was for so long.
Og what about Osorio, Delgado, Bradley, all liabilties, Osorio is terrible in my opinion, always has beenQuote:

Right. Jonathon Osorio is the problem for TFC? Get a grip man. Did you watch him v Mexico?Quote:

Shaff is massive and Perez deserves at least some credit for his development
So a 2-1 victory using first team players against a team that has a capped team salary of $850K.
Uninspiring.
Oso does not look happy.
Wheeler nailed it in the post game summary.

Pozuelo that was embarrassing for the money he is making , get rid of this guy , sent him home and take his buddy Perez with him total garbage!

We totally dominated the first half and could have been four nil. The criticism is harsh. TFC tired and took its foot off the gas. We do have weaknesses and when Pacific put on Dada-Luke they exploited them. Bit surprising for me that he didn’t start.
Osorio rarely looks happy. He has a perma-snarl. And yes somebody has to figure out how to bottle his performance vs. Mexico and apply it to TFC games. (TBH if he plays many games for Canada he won't always play that well.) The guy needs a sports psychologist so badly it's not funny. He has obvious talent. But often over-thinking key passes or shots and only managing slow rollers as a result. His defensive midfield work is often impressive; less to think about there. And this isn't really supposed to be a rant against Osorio: multiple players on the team need time with a sports psychologist. The passing around in front of net is so strange, almost like they are afraid of putting a shot on goal most of the time.Quote:

I don't take any conclusions from this match except that TFC has done exactly the minimum needed to qualify for the final.
Any other over analysis IMO does not worth even the paper is written on...
Everybody and their pets knew that TFC needs to have a totally shit performance against a team one or two classes weaker, for not to qualify for the final.
And the other team in parallel needs to have it's best performance of the whole season, or maybe even from that franchise's whole existence.
Now the final, that's a different animal, that will be the one worth a serious analysis.
We need CB help....bad. Other than that I don't read much into last night's game. TFC taking the foot off the gas was a mistake in the second half though. Look at games where teams like Chelsea play lower teams. They could be winning 4-0 at halftime and what do they do in the 2nd half...try to make it 8-0. Never a foot off the gas. I know difference in quality is night and day between our teams but mentality can still be there to push a game no matter what.

There was another comment after something like "maybe 15 is generous", and I didn't see anyone else's replies, not sure why he took it down.
He took it down because I had a sweet burn on USMNT Twitter under it. ;)
<3 I was looking forward to reading the comments under that one.Quote:
