It's actually pretty close to "slightly". Given the number of teams each year (13,14,15,16,18,19,19,19,20,20,22), and a equal change to win each year by each team, the chance that we would have won a...

It's actually pretty close to "slightly". Given the number of teams each year (13,14,15,16,18,19,19,19,20,20,22), and a equal change to win each year by each team, the chance that we would have won a...
Here's the fun part of all this. Look at the difference between us and second place NYCFC (9 points). Now 9 points below NYCFC? You drop all the way to 9th in the league, tied with Vancouver...
Ok, I am by no means a soccer strategy guru (and don't pretend to be), but I saw something interesting on Wednesday that I wanted to see if other people noticed (or if I am just wrong).
What I saw...
The funny part about the options above, (knock on wood) at this point in order to NOT hit 62 points this season (and the top option of the poll) we would need to average 1 point per game for the rest...
I don't know about that to be honest. I know we have a crazy deep team, and we have to keep rotating and getting people minutes to an extent, but at the same time at some point we're going to have to...
Yeah there has to be a regression to the mean at some point. Honestly, a tie and a loss would be perfectly reasonable to me out of this. We'll probably give up top spot to Chicago, but that's OK, it...
I posted a few of these last year, but thought I'd post again because of our crazy season. As you can see below, green is the current season, and we've distanced ourselves pretty well from everything...
Hey UpTheReds!
If you still have access to any, I would take either one or two if you can. If not, thanks anyway!
Can someone here with connections to the club ask if they will set up a viewing area for this? It would be awesome if there was an area (like the Raptors had I think) where people can watch the game...
right at 1, tried a single ticket anywhere, no go. This is stupid
What do you mean? Colorado and RSL both played last night, putting both at 43 points, but meaning they can't take the lead in the SS race this week. The only other team within striking range of SS is...
So... are we not allowed to mention the fact that if we win this game, we go top of the combined standings (even if very temporarily?)
Yeah, I'm going to have to take offense to that. I started following this team in 2007. My first TFC game was April 14th 2007 in Foxborough (before we had even had a home game). That season (though I...
Anyone know if TFC will have any games open to the public the week of Feb 14th in Orlando? I happen to be flying to Orlando for that week, so would be cool to see them in pre-season.
I think most people are reading this the wrong way. Manning talked to Kreis, and likely offered him the job. Kreis probably decided he didn't want to be involved in TFC drama. Think about it, he was...
Very good comment. I don't like it when people try to use possession as a statistic that tells the whole story. The problem is, possession is determined by many different factors, not the least of...
2 things have to happen in this game:
1) We need to win, badly (I hate to use the term "must win", but... yeah)
2) Altidore has to fucking score. Ever since his injury/USMNT stint, he has been...
I guess the only good news is that such a high press strategy isn't a simple adjustment. What I mean is, it takes a lot of practice to be able to pull it off successfully, so it isn't something teams...
Yep, agreed that his injury could certainly play a role here. I really hope he is going to be motivated, and I hope the return of MB will help push him where he needs to be.
I disagree, but understand where you're coming from. It's one thing taking a penalty (if he deferred that to Giovinco, after drawing the penalty himself, I agree it would have been much worse) but...
Lots of people are ragging on Altidore right now (and rightfully so). I think Altidore's problem is that is pretty much the definition of a confidence striker. Basically, if he is feeling like he's...
You know what I don't like about Bez? He needs a new tailor. Every time I see him, it looks like he's wearing his father's suit. It gives off the impression of youth and inexperience. With a better...
As some people have said, you cannot acclimate to altitude in a short term. In order to acclimate properly to altitude, you need to spend weeks at that altitude (in order for your body to respond,...
So I've put together a chart of TFC seasons to see how we're tracking compared to previous seasons (as you can see below, the red dotted line is the .500 line). I'll be doing it all season, and can...
It's more about how the ref calls the game. In MLS the ref doesn't call as much, and lets more physical play pass.
For me, the real difference between La Liga and MLS is really how the teams...
