My favourite remains Priso sitting on the ground in a Canadian apologetic way and then using the stretcher to prop himself up and slowly walk off the field. :D

Maybe I can understand with Montreal because they play each other multiple times, but Vancouver next week? Come on...

This is why I am fearing the possibility of a difficult transition year in 2021.

^^If a national team calls a player, FIFA rules require the club team to permit the player to go.

^^ Take it easy gents, the playoff games next weekend are all scheduled a minimum of 21/2 hours apart. :-D

^^ True, but as it appears they will face the loser of Marathon-Saprissa in the "2nd chance game", I'm guessing they better take care of business in their next game.

And a further 12 games after that up to November 8, regional games only to limit travel. Top 9 make the playoffs. Article also mentions that Toronto have been making plans to be US based at some...

Yes, but the other night showed that the resources are set up to have two games at once. No reason not to have had the Toronto match pushed to tomorrow night, other than tv perhaps. The only...

Please never use the term "Whitecaps" when describing TFC. ;-)

Thanks for the warning. I will now avoid their games like the plague!

I'm pretty sure ESPN wasn't carrying the game in the US last night, but TSN will have their guys call the Canadian teams' games, regardless.

Yes, last night was a perfect example. :-)

But what I like about him is that he's less fearful than most colour guys of being critical, or at least very blunt, of what he is seeing. Shep Messing...

I'm guessing yes if the one hour preview show Monday and scheduled pre-game show for tonight is any clue.

Yes, I read MLS wanted this place so that they make the company they will be negotiating a tv deal with in a couple of years happy.

^^ Yeah, I thought they were going to head down a week before their first game, which would have been this Friday.

Listening to Sportsnet's podcast, "A Kick in the Grass" today and Dan Riccio mentioned that the media have been hearing good reviews from the teams that are already in the bubble. Marc Dos Santos...

Not exactly. It's the the 3 teams with the best records from all groups that will advance, though it is likely that it will end up as you described it.

^^ In fact ALL games will be on TSN.

^^ Sorry for getting off topic here but I don't think live TFC games will ever be available on DAZN (the viewer exposure just isn't there). I'm guessing the days of other MLS games on DAZN are...

I've been searching for that answer since it was announced. But knowing MLS...they don't know either. :-D

^^ Same here. I already can't wait to hear how that mutated 6 team Group A is going to work. (TFC cannot be drawn into that group which will probably be good thing.)

Yes, TSN has the matches against Saprissa.

That's what I thought too. It kind of says that the League doesn't care about putting Toronto, MLS Cup finalist, into a marquee matchup on opening weekend.

And as Joe Kool above mentioned, no LA...

Isn't reasonable to think that the parties would have reached out to one another prior to the selection? You'd figure they would have already discussed salary and Agudelo's willingness to come up...

^^ Agreed. And to give the MLS website guys some credit, no one is saying it will be a cake walk for Seattle, and a popular opinion among them is Toronto has the horses off the bench to win it if it...
