Thanks Brosef and the Amazing Technicolor Dreambro!
Sure, don't have to spend on playoff tickets now. Or playoff parking rates. Or buy beer at stadium rates. Won't be buying extra merchandise, either.
Family vacation in the sun, come March, I reckon.
Any team that consistently starts Barrett and Brennan has no way of making the playoffs for that reason management and coach are to blame........anyone who says that Barrett is a quality player and deserves playing time has no clue what the game of soccer is. This team has many holes and those are the two most glaring.
I'm just glad the other leagues are in full swing so at least i can watch the way the beautiful game should be played.
Hey, at least we're not the Red Bulls
I think we may need to sing this song at the next game.

Hahahah.. True that.Hey, at least we're not the Red Bulls
Well, at least Toronto FC made the playoffs today...
...in FIFA 09
After what happened today, I'd wager we'll be worse than they are when we play there two weeks from now.Hey, at least we're not the Red Bulls
Look at the bright side. No playoffs means:
(1) Lots of money saved that would be spent on gameday. You could even save enough to buy a new television to watch a decent team play during the World Cup!
(2) Time freed up to do other things. Your significant other might be pleased.
(3) The grass can go in earlier and will be well established by the time next season rolls around.
(4) MLSE will be under pressure to get a real coach, not an assistant youth coach.
(5) You can start speculating early about the off-season.
(6) No need to stand in the freezing weather. You can watch the KKKrew hoist the MLS Cup from the comfort of your den.
(7) You can switch your attention to the Leafs, where another MLSE team has a losing season well underway.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
In the 73rd minute, I turned to the girl next to me and said the Quakes will score in the 92nd.
And it's courtesy of Nick Garcia, again.
I've never seen a team that looks so good on paper yet plays so poorly.
Upsides: Fellinga, JDG
But DeRo? Dude's distracting himself with his brightly coloured shoes.
10 more days until FIFA 10.
No playoffs means more time for gaming.. haha
Well, I'm glad somebody other than me felt this way. The idiots sitting around me spent pretty much the whole game talking about how useless Fellinga was. I thought I was watching a completely different game.
But, yeah...irrelevant.
Actually JDG had a very good game and made a lot of great plays.
DeRo had good moments but was inconsistent.
All MLS squads have their "holes" due to the roster restrictions and salary cap. You get some good players, maybe one or two great players, and some not-so-good players.
TFC's difference is that our not-so-good players are absolute crap.

Unbelievable
What a way to start a Thanksgiving weekend.
We give it up in extra time...again.
Don't blame Garcia as much as he has been a liability, it was a great shot, however it looked like he didn't put much effort at such a crucial time to get some part of his body in front of the ball.
CC didn't do his job, and should have made some changes a lot earlier.
He's gotta go. Bring in some real coaching talent, for the price of De Guz, we could hire almost any coach in the world.
This game sucked from the start. Had a bad feeling throughout the match. I knew we should have got and insurance marker based on were the worst team in the last 10 minutes in the MLS.
De Guzman seems to be way under utilized since joining this team.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone...
He should have been more ruthless on a couple of shot opportunities. But otherwise did fairly well. For someone (once again ) playing out of position.
I gotta say I thought JDG was excellent today, unfortunately he creates an opportunity and it is wasted. His skill creates space, he holds the ball up and attracts opposing players then moves the ball in to space. It is brilliant to watch, but the attacking players are not on the same page as he is. I see a bright future when they start understanding what each other is doing, but that will be next season.
Fellinga also looked very good today. He needs more time, but I like what I see.
I am really excited for next season, and good thing, because this season is over. That draw today was the nail in the coffin that sealed it.
Oh The Reds Are Shite!
loved Fellinga's crosses today. finally someone who can cross a ball straight and nice.
JDG was a joy to watch.
ffs...those of you calling for a boycott, get real...we gave away points carelessly, yes. If supporting a team that fucks up is not for you, jump on the bandwagon of one of the top clubs.
I'm pissed off as fuck, but, please, get real. Besides, next week is Danny Dichio day and we owe it to the big man.
Right I'm off to crawl into a hole...
You're forgetting the fact the fact that he's a CANADIAN DP. I honestly believe that that is why we have him, not due to need or neccesity, but because he's Canadian. He didn't play badly, but I really feel our $$'s could have been spent somewhere more productive and useful.
As for Cummins, the guy is an idiot, no footy savvy at all. No real idea of what he is doing. 1 sub.....meh, idiocy.
The minute we scored the goal we backed off, literally. It was an embarressment plain and simple. Even the goal was lucky, no real chances throughout the whole game.

WOW. A week ago everyone is gushing over JDG, and now he's the biggest waste of money ever?
I dunno if it's just me, but it seems like the majority of people here just love pointing the finger of blame on everyone possible. JDG is a good player who will do his bit. How can JDG be at fault today!? More importantly, what other 28 year old DP would you have signed, realistically? Stop living in FIFA Manager Mode and see that TFC is an MLS club, so we'd either get a wash up, or a Canadian international. I'm glad we got someone who will be able to play for the next three years, without a wheelchair.
+1. JDG would fare a lot better if our defenders didn't punt the ball up to the forwards on every possession.
Shit game. I don't think the players came to play the full 90 minutes plus. They all looked out of gas. Can't remember the time mark, but there was a ball clearing from our end and DeRo had a clear run at it, but just jogged to it and got beaten. I also think the reffing was very poor. Also, the player that scored for San Jose, mocking the supporters in NEE wasn't smart. Cocksucker.
er......
I never gushed over JDG...ever.
Yeah he's 28, big fucking deal. He's a defensive midfielder. We need a striker, unless you're happy with our abismal ability to score goals?
I never blamed him for the loss.
However I do think the only reason we went after him is cause he's Canadian, which to me is not a good reason to pay big $$'s for a player we don't really need.
and most inportantly, I edited that post cause I was rambling like a drunken fool
first off, FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!
lets put things into perspective, nothing short of a playoff birth will make me believe in cummins or this MF-heavy squad again. SECOND-WORST team in the league, IN OUR HOUSE and we 1. cant find a second goal or 2. DEFEND IN THE 93'??????? what are we, the buffalo bills of the MLS?? fuck this shit, i'm upset that i already bought tickets for next week's game.
lastly, i smashed my knuckles punching the 113-114 metal wall as i was leaving IMMEDIATELY after SJ scored that last goal... hand slightly bruised, but OMG i could've torn down the field if i had a chance.
as right as you are, we need defence slightly more than we need striking.er......

several times with several players.... honestly, barrett showed the most heart today with his hustle, everyone else was lacking.
DeRo being inconsisent that game was an understatement, he was having a really off game. Cummins, what can be said that hasnt been said before? He's got no brain. That's how the management can be blamed, hes still there. We know we have a problem giving up goals in the last 15, we know we have a conditioning problem on top of that, we know he's not been good with managing the last 15 minutes of the game, etc. etc. etc.
Even if we CAN get in, we shouldnt. A team shouldnt be in the playoffs because other teams LOSE we should be in because weve won.
Barrett played very well...I'm just trying to figure out why he started playing well in Chicago and today...he's played shit all year, and decides to turn it on in the last couple of games
