I checked the Darmstadt lineups for this season (since August). Boyd hasn't been in the Darmstadt lineup at all since the start of 2019. Before that he would have been training at least. He was mostly a late-game sub, or unused sub, in the games during this season.

if im not mistaken he was fit but not being called up

Molinaro preview:

Wonder if Oso can go a full 90

Guessing we go 4-2-3-1

The positive that may come out of this season I believe , is that Osorio is going to do his damnedest, to carry this team , in this series especially. An impossible task but , a credit to him . He’s exceeded my expectations.

FINALLY- Game Day :scarf:

First time I'm not so excited for the first game of the year. Optimism is low.

Is Jozy Altidore the most influential player in the tournament?

I've been out of the loop for quite some time. What's the projected lineup for tonight?

So happy it is finally game day!

It’s game day!!

tfc with the 4-1 win tonight

He's not playing, at least not tonight. Might get a short shift during the return leg next week, depending how his recovery goes.

but is he?

Maybe TSN4 will have an alternate Spanish commentary with these guys.

Any word where supporters are meeting before the match in Panama?

Gameday - finally. Long and miserable off-season. Time for the rubber to meet the road COYBIR

4-1 might be a bit optimistic, but imagine if they do win ... all the naysayers are going to be jumping all over the bandwagon pretty quickly.

I still see a draw as a likely outcome. Something like 1-1, with Boyd scoring this first for the club.

i'd push it to 2-1 TFC if there is a good build up and Oso punching one in as well.

Any away goal during this leg would be fantastic. Two would probably be a win in most circumstances.

If they lose, some will say "see management screwed up." And if they win, some will say "see management did everything perfect." If they tie, you might get a bit of both. Sadly I expect either / and / or to continue for a good part of this season, until things really settle down. Making the playoffs, or not, will reignite the same conversation. Buckle up!

Who's Seba? I've been comatose since the days of Kevin Harmse.

He’s flying in from Saudi today to bang in a goal after coming off the bench in the second half.

Boyd, Oso, Morrow, Auro ... might not be too bad.

Here's the lineup I'm thinking ... 4-3-2-1:

------Boyd------
--Morrow--Auro--
-Delgado-Oso-Bradley-
Mavinga-Ciman-Zavs-DeLeon

we are playing a team from Panama, not Tigres, America or any other team from Mexico. TFC’s budget is probably at least 5 times if not more then theirs. IMO we should beat them handily

We're still fielding a lineup that should win tonight. Let's hope the officials don't screw this one up.

And, BTW, who are the officials for tonight's game?

We should be able to beat them without using any DP/TAM players.

Pretty sure that's Griffin Dorsey.
