It's fine. LA will still suck. I honestly think it's better to get less name recognition and more commitment from a DP slot than a big name looking for a retirement cheque and a good time.

I think it's as simple as this: These players care about the Champions League more than MLS.
I don't think it's an intentional or conscious decision but the fire they display in CCL/V-Cup games...
They are obviously emotionally invested in the CCL right now and can't muster enough for MLS play. Johnson confirmed as much on the Soccer Show on Thursday. Once the destruction in Mexico is complete...
That lineup pretty much waves the white flag versus Santos. I can't blame Winter. With the disappointing result mid-week, we have no shot in the CCL anymore, gotta get points in the league.
Terribly disappointed. Silva better be dead or dying to not appear. We were pretty much finished after the away goal conceded, would've needed at least 3 goals back to have a chance, and we knew that...
If TFC make the finals of the CCL, Anselmi suggested strongly that it would go back to the Rogers Centre. It would be a three week turnaround (we would be the second leg I believe), so it would be...
For the finals only.
Truth is, this squad is still hard pressed to make the playoffs, even in a weaker Eastern Conference.
Seattle this weekend might be a bit of a wake-up call. The Santos series likely won't be very...
They did it for RSL, but only in the finals. If TFC get to that stage, I expect the same treatment, but to ask for it as the semi-final stage might be a bit much. What if TFC made the finals too,...
TFC must win the first leg by multiple goals and, most importantly, NOT CONCEDE. Easier said than done, but I think that's the only realistic hope.
STUNNED!! FUCKING AWESOME!!
While a tired LA Galaxy were still more dangerous, the fact of the matter is that we played a consummate road game. We knew they'd get chances, we knew we'd need...
Suazo is a straight up beast.
Timbers army also has certain advantages in terms of stadium design. Nonetheless, fantastic fans. Simply fantastic.
BBM is the ratings provider in Canada. They calculate the numbers independently, TSN just takes it for what it is. TSN saw the ratings were solid and decided to run the story, if the ratings weren't...
I think all of LA's big players will get at least 45 minutes. They don't have to travel, and all this talk about pressure on LA, it won't bother them, that's what makes them great. If anything,...
Solid depth and occasional starter type player. I don't know what that means in terms of numbers, but I know what it looks like when I see it.
They also look pissed.
I agree with that lineup except I can't help but feel that Plata might be more beneficial as a sub against an exhausted Galaxy team playing its third game in a week. Soolsma and Koevermans have...
Here's hoping for red cards and injuries (not career threatening, just enough to fuck 'em both over early in the standings).
I know this is a couple of months too late, may have been previously discussed and is completely and totally ignorant because it's probably has a laughably simple answer but:
Why couldn't they...
Just took a look at the Galaxy's projected starting lineup. Fuck. Not that there were any surprises, but still...FUCK!!!
I find it interesting to see the contrast between how Toronto is approaching this game versus LA. On Toronto's website, the CCL has dominated for months, but especially in the last little while.

The ability to overlook a preseason championship game in anticipation of a playoff champions league game in front of 45,000. That's pretty much as good as it's ever been in TFC land. Which is kind of...
Don't really care how the interpersonal relationships work. They could beat each other like baby seals.
I'll judge their results, and their results only.
Only a fool reads anything into preseason. Win, lose or draw.
