No that was just bad defending. Cause, you know, some guy ghosting in and hitting it with his left foot on the half volley off a cross just happens all the time in MLS. God Caldwell is a knob.Quote:

Will Johnson at RB was a disaster. Good thing we capitalized on that.
Also,
RALLY SQUIRREL!!!
G'wan da Squirrels
Hamilton was pretty bad tonight to put it politely
Osorio was invisible tonight, he must be tired, this was not a standard Oso performance
people in my section were saying we should have started Rickets, I disagree he is a super sub like Alan Gordon
if you start Alan Gordon he is not very good but as a sub he is the best sub in the history of the league
Rickets is our Alan Gordon, a bit of a poor man's Alan Gordon, but that is still a huge compliment as Gordon is the best.
Telfer's Audi index number for tonights game rival's a great night by Giovinco wow.
i knew Axetxe wouldnt get in the game, can't risk it. not a good sign for aketxe
Full volley, in fact. Amazing shot. I'm glad I'm not the only one pissed off by Caldwell's commentary.Quote:

We needed these points and I hope the win will give the lads a real confidence boost. Perhaps we can sign that squirrel. He’ll sign for peanuts. Literally.
Lastly, the reffing in the MLS is pure bush league.

It's amazing how he has ground it out playing in the GTA...working through injuries. Late bloomer a la Terry Dunfield. Every kid playing in Ontario football needs to know that they can make it. You can just tell that Telfer has it after that performance. I just watched the highlight footage and it was all him...literally the first 6 highlight clips he was the star. You can develop into a professional level soccer player working through the competitive ranks of Ontario soccer. If TFC can capitalize on the Ontario youth development system then they stand to be a powerhouse in MLS for the long haul.Quote:

Caldwell was talking about the defender getting beat to the bi-line and the original cross by Auro. He’s right, you should never be beaten like that as a defender. Nice move by Auro nonetheless.Quote:

You do realize that Gordon has 250 games or something, and maybe 5 of them were with TFC? Gordon might well be amongst the 25 best players ever to wear our colours...Quote:

I remember Jacob Petersen, or was it Alan Gordon, talking about how they were "forced" to pass the ball in training to much. What a dumbass comment.Quote:

Damn right. He was one of the most prolific scorers per minute in those days. And he's enjoyed that wherever he's played.Quote:

Jacob Petersen I have way less sympathy for. Not only that stupid comment about passing, but he said something shitty about Canada after too.
I think I’ve watched the Telfer goal as many times as Jozy’s MLS Cup winning goal by now.
Funny how that game had a bit of a 2012 feeling, animal pitch invasion and all. Felt like we were supporting our hapless guys who no one expects to win. Felt oddly comfortable and familiar.
Its rightt up there will Javier Martina’s volley goal off a goal kick from Frei.

Tefler in every highlight , humble presence and a beast , he’s deceptively fast and unlike Morrow has good defensive qualities magnificent find , Auro jrs work on Teflers goal was magic . Hamilton cannot start again . Bradley has to be D mid , he’s a rock , Bono when neeeded always there , Ricketts effectiveness is simply a final 15 minute sub , to run ....please TO shoot more , it’s like we want to pass it into the goal crease . But thankfully they didn’t wilt , Canuks didn’t stop .......Squirrel found vistors goal quicker than team .. . Twice ....new mascot
Very positive and well said .Quote:

1) Delgado has been awful since the champions league final.
2) Bono is a very good keeper but, he is really bad with the ball at his feet. Like... horrible. I lost count how many times he kicked the ball right to a Orlando player.
None the less, huge 3 points, now with Gio and probably Hagglund back against Dallas, we gotta look for 3 more.
Confidence has totally gone, ala Osorio 2 years agoQuote:

Gordon is one of the all time best character players in MLS. It's impossible to read "the Beckham Experiment" and not come away with tonnes of respect for him.Quote:

As a player now, he's older and can't last even a half, but for the last 20 minutes of a game he can be lethal.
The play on the 2nd goal notwithstanding, Auro needs to move forward when he has the ball. Far too many times he would just stand around. Play like a wingback dammit. Also why does everyone not want to take a shot? Seems we keep trying to walk in it on way too many occasions.
