We've also shown to be effective in absorbing pressure for periods of the game within the 3-5-2 and not conceding. We did that a lot last year, then spring and score.

We need to play strong up front. They had great possession of the ball, and midfield control, but their defense was a major weakness and it showed with all of the chances we had.
Almost positive this game is in fact at 11:00PM, not 10:00PM.
If you google "TFC Schedule" it says 11:00PM as well as the fact that the game is listed as a 9:00PM local time start on Ticket Master Mexico...
Monterrey is usually 1 hr behind us, meaning 9:00PM Local is 10:00PM here, however, they will be 2 hrs behind us next Tues as their daylight savings time isn't until early April...Quote:

Its the 2 hour window that is important here.
That having been said, it wouldn't put it past CONCACAF to not remember that its DST this weekend & not adjust the timing mentionned to US & Canadian markets.
CONCACAF site says 10:00PM at the bottom where all fixtures are listed, but if you click the TFC match and click preview, it brings up this https://www.concacafchampionsleague....=match-details
Where it says "23:00"Quote:

Fucking CONCACAF :facepalm:
They are on CST, so currently one hour behind us. We turn our clocks ahead on the weekend, putting us 2hrs ahead of them because they don't do DST until April 1st.
Thus they are going to kick off at 8PM local time, 10PM EST in North America.
That sounds correct. All CCL games so far have kicked off at 8 AFAIK.Quote:

What makes you think they have any intentions of kicking off at 8pm local time? Here is the official verified link from TicketMaster to buy tickets to the game http://www.ticketmaster.com.mx/tigre...005363C5AFB600
Quite clearly: Tigres v. Toronto
Estadio Universitario de Monterrey, Monterrey, NL
Mar 13 Mar 2018, 21:00Quote:

We should not be favourites but we are in with a chance here I think.
Proud of the boys for the work they put in.
Don’t think you change Delgado or Oso. But maybe Auro for VDW and Hagglund for Zavs. Otherwise come into the game with the same mentality. If we concede then bring on Ager and Vazquez to chase a draw/penalties in the last half hour.
Thats what I think too.Quote:

Hopefully Tijuana can pot a goal in, forcing Tigres to keep the big guns on the whole game
Vargas and Sosa played a little over an hour. Gignac still on the field (who scored the game's only goal so far - a screamer from outside of the box).
When they read Mark Bloom is now a financial advisor it get's them working a little harder lolQuote:

Great goal. Gignac is definitely a threat. Hagglund needs to stick to him like glue.
