To get the Cup we must beat Montreal by at least 2 goals, in regulation time or overtime.
That will be incredibly difficult... because:
- When was the last time TFC won at home with at least 2 goals difference?
On July 7 (3-1 with the Red Bulls)
- How many games TFC had since at home with MLS opponents?
5 (Houston, Cincinnati, Orlando, Montreal, Colorado)
- Digging even further:
In this whole season, from a total of 16 MLS home matches, TFC won just twice with a difference of at least 2 goals (this is shocking!)
- For Montreal winning the Cup is the difference between an acceptable season and a disaster season.
PS: To have any shot at the Cup, TFC needs to get at least 3 goals, because our defence can get a clean sheet just in Footy Dreamland.
Sorry if all this sounds a bit pessimistic, but it's just a cold analysis of the stats.
All true. But I don’t see why it can’t be done. We played a Huston game type lineup against the pretty much the best the impact had to offer. at their own park. Minus The GK change and what not. We still managed to stay with them. Our back 4 only had one regular in it as did the MF The impact slowed right down and that was just by putting poz. And Jozy in. I think we can put 3 in for sure As for the clean sheet history tells us that’s not going to happen. But I think we can put 3 in for sure. They had solid chances to put 3 or 4 away and they didn’t. But we also had 3 or 4 solid chances as well to make it a draw. I think a 3-1 reds win is exactly what we will see Wednesday night.Quote:

I'm only worried about guys being tired - they looked it on Wednesday. They are going to look it tonight against a team that didn't play midweek.
If they put it all on the line on Wednesday, fair enough.

They looked pretty damned awesome on Saturday. If that game is what it takes to re-active TFC, I'm all for it.Quote:

3-0 for the good guys.
Hope Benezet is ok and available since we are more dangerous with him. Is Gallardo ever going to get into full game shape before the end of season? Should we start his 2020 preseason now? Would be great to see a similar lineup and performance to Saturday's game but not sure how it will be. Depends on how everyone was after the game and if they can recover. Really need to take it to the Impact on Wednesday so we don't rely on late game heroics or anything.
The reason I think Montreal will win is because they will be absolutely, totally desperate and most of them will be playing for their jobs on Wednesday and will be an order of magnitude more intense than TFC. I wouldn't be surprised if Saputo axes 90% of the club contracts at the end of the season.
I would agree but that's something that they don't look concerned about now. It looks like quite a few of them would welcome the Joey axe.Quote:

In the LA game I was worried until the final minutes about giving up a goal. This team knows how to do that. So I face wednesday with the same trepidation. 1 goal from them and we need 3. So. I'm hopeful but fearful.
There will be more Canadians. Morgan starts likely. Maybe Shaff. And I don’t think Benezet will be ready - maybe in Chicago.Quote:

I thinks the Canadian content is Laryea, Morgan & Osorio. Apart from that, with the exception of Bono, I think it the starters, even on defence.
I would start
Bono
Laryea-Omar-Ciman-Morrow
Osorio-Bradley-Poz
Endoh-Jozy-Shaff
Bring Benezet off the bench for the Shaff at the half.
It will be Bono's 99th start for TFC, tying Stefan Frei.

I would rest Poz and put in Benezet. But I don’t think he will be ready.Quote:

Would be great to see everyone actually in their seat for kickoff too. Just for a change. Don't have to tell many on this board probably since most of us probably are so likely wasting my time saying this but would be amazing to see that. I know it won't happen but I can dream can't I? Just to have the stadium rocking from the start instead of filling in slowly over the first half. It always amazes me to see from my perch at the top of the south end how many people are leisurely walking to the stadium still from the parking lots or GO station while the game is already underway. It is tough commute sometimes during the week but we know that way TO is....I wish more people would plan for it if that is their excuse. Crappy workplaces that don't let their people go early enough are excused...if that is you sorry to hear that.Quote:

Hold onto your hats!:drum::flare::scarf:
So there's no hope of getting a stream for this, right?
Pretty much - One Soccer isn't being picked up yet by the usual stream merchants.Quote:
