I think it will be a moral victory of sorts if they could earn a draw. I think tired legs in the 2nd half will be our downfall...Calling RSL 2-1. Hopefully I'm wrong!

I'm going to say:
TFC 0-1 RSL (Dirty Hippie with a dirty goal. Bastard.)
I'm hoping I'm wrong, wrong, wrong though...
Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
It hink if a ball or 2 bounce our way, and we make it out of the 1st half either 1 up or even, we might suprise these guys,and walk away with a point or better.
THe Montreal game might have been a card fest, a couple of injuries, etc., but we did sit most of our defence (alphabet had to come on...), and it sure didn't look to me like we played an up tempo game.
Sure the altitude is a factor, but the boys being tired... no way.
I'm hopeful for a result tonight.
Spoils my strategy for this year's games, though. I had lowered my expectations but some good, unexpected wins have made me less pessimistic.
This year's TFC is playing with my head!
Obviously we all know the affects of "altitude" when playing in cities like Salt Like, Denver etc...
A question............
Does COLD WEATHER INCREASE or DECREASE or MAKE NO DIFFERENCE to those affects...???
I'm just wondering if anyone knows... I've studied the affects of altitude as I went through my training certifications - but they were always taught in regards to 'climate controled environments' as it was for hockey - and was based on arriving, remaining, they playing at altitude...
Anyone know...???
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
any fans making it down there?
I believe most of the difficulty that non-acclimatized players face while playing at altitude is due to the thinner air/lower atmospheric pressure. Lower temperature means lower air pressure, but I'm not sure what temperature variation is required to make a measurable difference.
According to weather.com it could snow this evening
Yeah I'd be happy with a draw too Tim.
Is anyone going to Scallywag's tonight?
2-1 we're gonna win 2-1! 2-1! yes the dirty hippy will probably get a goal, so will Dero and I'm going to say White... I have faith that the team is going to finally perform well on the road Sanyang is super excited, he says that the atmosphere with the team is amazing!
Hey Footie, I will be happy with a win but a point will do just fine.
I wonder if Sanyang will start?

I'll go with a 1-1 draw for tonight, as well.
1-1, Barrett scores

I'm worried about how DeRo and Deguz will hold up having played 90 on Sunday and Wednesday and now having to play at altitude. I'm sure Preki had planned to sub them out in the 2nd half against Montreal but the injuries ruined that plan
DeRo is made of steel; DeGuz out of platinum. They'll survive!!
i'm calling 2-1 TFC, the intangibles are there for our boys to take it.
3nil, 3nil, we're gonna win 3nil! Goals from Barrett, OBW, and DERo
Sometimes the ice needs to be broken and TFC needs to get the first point or points on the road this season, right?
Will it be tonight, the next away game or the third away game?
having a hard time getting excited about this game after playing Montreal.... not exactly pumped to play some team called Real Salt Lake... maybe i just need some more beer.
bring it on!
Good luck tonight TFC! 3 points please
Let's pound the crap out of Fake Salt Lake on the scoreboard.
2-1 Tfc - barret and dero
got the beer, I am ready

DeRo, OBW JDG as super subs, probably before half. They won't be able to go a full 90 for the third time in a week at altitude.
