Why GV took off Mavinga baffles me he was having an excellent game. With Hagglund on we conceded two goals. I think the appropriate move wouldve been zav off for hagglund. Poor move on GVs part you could see the frustration in Mavingas face when he was taken off.
He was injured and couldn't continue.Quote:

The first two goals were off poor individual defensive lapses. Osario had a great game, but he is the one who bends over allowing his man to head the ball in the back of the net, and Hagglund completely fucked up on the second.
The penalty was harsh, GVW, had tucked his hand behind him and the ball bounced behind him. That should not have been called.
Good to see TFC advance, I do have a tough question for all, Is Jozy just plain out of shape or is he just interested in drawing the foul as opposed to playing football? I think it is both, what is wrong with Jozy's head?
Those two games last night constitute a paradigm shift. Not only in results but in respect. Admittedly, the respect won't be shown by every team from LigaMx but something changed.
The catalyst is Seba. He is the one the Tigres crowd booed. He is the one that LigaMx fans follow.
Seba changed MLS by coming here in his prime.
Seba changed the CCL in these two games.
We are witnessing history.

I thought they also booed Bradley and Altidore, probably because of their involvement with the USMNT games vs Mexico.Quote:

Too bad Morrow and Mavinga had to be taken off last night due to injury. I am sure that really screwed with Vanney's offensive plans later in the game. I really hope they are alright and Vazquez we need fully fit too. Rest those three and other players if needed this weekend. We can handle Monteal with our bench guys.
That's not neutral in anyway. It's not about throwing someone a bone.Quote:

That free kick needs a name. The Tigre Beat, or something.
We went into a serious Mexican team's stadium and did that, late in the tie?
The clutch play of all time.
Seba dropped the hammer there. One of the biggest goals in MLS history.
All and all I thought the ref was okay. There were numerous opportunities to call cheap penalties or soft fouls and he never really indulged.Quote:

While I was watching the match last night I was thinking about how this TFC team will fare in MLS this season as I figured we'd get CONCACAF'ed at some point and get shafted.
Now I can say that I think we will be alright this year.
Honduran ref - not the most experienced but he's pretty good. One call like that PK per game isn't bad.

Got the email for the next round tickets info. Hope they don't try to gouge us with the price. It would be great to sell it out.
Yeah, It looks like what they are doing is making us buy the Champions League semi-final tickets vs America and giving us the Canadian Championship semi-final likely vs Ottawa as our second game. This is not surprising as actually have to sell the Ottawa game would be much harder than one vs America. The Ottawa game last year only drew just over 15K.Quote:

my spanish speaking friends i need help with translation or just the jist of what they're saying...i saw this link on youtube...sounds like they are having a pretty heated debate post match
The Semi game was never going to be free.
The membership included the first two of CCL or Voyageurs, whichever came first. We got two CCL game already. They are now throwing in the Ottawa/League1 game.
They are actually giving us more then originally promised (although as CB said, if they don't make that Voyageur's semi free, nobody is going to show up).
Youtube haha im sure he has a team of scouts all over Central, South America and even Europe.Quote:

Well, there’s a lot of verguenza in there, which means shameQuote:
