Stefan Frei Approved Pre-Game Thread: TFC vs. New England Revolution (May 22nd)
1 PM kickoff for this one. We'll probably see a very different lineup from last night's and we're at home, where we're undefeated and sport the shittiest gameday weather of any MLS team this season.
This is a rematch of an earlier game in New England, where Nick Garcia Nick Garcia'd TFC to defeat.....
Please don't let him start and we win.
Figures... First game I go to this season, and DeRo is approved to go to Argentina, and DeGuz is out injured... Thank god we atleast have Barrett with us still...
Don't you jinx the weather!!!! It's going to be spectacular outside.
If it is not, It your fault. 100%
Maybe if we have 15 home games with low attendance this season due to rain we'll actually get a roof. Would be worth the suffering.
AS improved as he looked wide against Montreal, he looked nervous as shit last night. On the first Vancouver free kick after he'd entered, he rushed up to mark a Whitecap hovering at the edge of the box....only to have the guy sprint off before he got there (already marked), and leaving Garcia standing, alone, at the top of the box when the kick was actually taken.Originally Posted by TFC USA

It was so bad it was sad.
I'd blame parkdale..
Anyone know which hotel the Rev is staying?
^That just gave me a thought...
The edge, during the Juniors in BC this year, had called up the US team during the night, waking them up, and pissing them off.
Might be a good advantage if we called up the Revs :P
Fire Frei. . . he fuckin Sucks ass chunks.. .
freakin Swiss twat. . . . . . .
Conway rules.
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
Can't wait for the game. First one in the bunker!!!
I'm hoping for a result this weekend. NE killed us last time in Boston. I think we would be good with a tie in this game. But I think it's 2-1 or 3-1 TFC.
fixed...
True that.fixed...
Oh well, lets hope Preki played Garcia last night so that he won't see the pitch at all this weekend.
^
that's what i'm hoping too... that and he took of nana for rest
Preki also said in the post-game last night, that Nana had a slight knock or tightness & they took him off as a precaution. I hope he will be OK for the weekend, and it doesn't turn out to be anything more serious.
^ Probably just from playing so much in the last week or two. The guys been a warrior out there for us. Hopefully he is fit to play this weekend.
your crazy......lol
Anyone know which hotel the Rev is staying?
My buddy I work with said he always see the players staying at the Skydome(Rogers Centre) hotel.......in case you are wondering.

LA Galaxy June, G20, That's within the security zone...
How did that work out again?
I'm just sayin'....that is where he has seen all the other teams stay...I assume the Galaxy will be put up somewhere else...

Except Usanov's suspended for this game, leaving either Garcia or Gargan as the sole remaining option at RB (unless Harden's available). Still would rather see Gargan at RB than Garcia, but with DeRo and DeGuz unavailable, Gargan may be needed in mid.True that.
Oh well, lets hope Preki played Garcia last night so that he won't see the pitch at all this weekend.
The difference between last night (where Garcia was worrying) and the two games prior to last night (where Garcia was relatively effective) was that last night he was CB.
That is true forgot about Usanov's suspension. Yeah we would have to use Garcia I guess. I would like to see Gargan play in the mid instead of in the back.
I'm very worried about this game...
These explain all:
1. No Dero and JDG
2. We'll be even more tired than in Vancouver
3. Garcia probably will start
In these conditions I would be very happy and would consider a great performance a 1-0 win, in a very low quality game (again!), in which we had only 3 scoring chances and 2 shots on goal.
But realistically, a draw is more to be expected, 0-0 or 1-1.
I hope I'm wrong...

Given the players we will be without for this one, I'd be content with a draw, and thrilled with a win.

We have seen worse...
Chance of rain 50%?
Again possible rain? This is getting ridiculous...
My fiance and I will be there! Last game we were at it rained too. I'm beginning to think we're bad luck, weather-wise. But we won 2-0 that day, so...
In any case, we're in Section 112, Row 18... Looking to get a little rowdy.
With no DeRo, Barrett will really need to work his ass off out there - which we all know he will. Getting a full 100% out of him is never an issue...
In the middle - this could be tough...
This season, whenever one of our defenders, or other midfielders is pressured, they immediately look to JDG and fire him the ball whether he's marked or not - that option isn't there... Previously when he's missed games, DeRo has hustled back every play to become that option - that option isn't there...
So, who will step up and fill this HUGE void for us...?
Gonna be a big adjustment, but just the break one of our players need to impress the staff and garner some more time, or more responsibility on the pitch...
