Membership Team
mornin d
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
doesnt matter for several reasons, 1) its the draft, 2) canadian roster limits have been dropped 3) we are producing/signing our own canadian players and 4) we've only got late draft picks, so if this dude is any good we'd miss him anywaysOriginally Posted by pepher
Not only that, this draft is considered the weakest since TFC came on the scene.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Speaking of this, has this been officially announced? I can't seem to remember. Just that they were still discussing it.

I hope Aron Winter has some loyalty towards the Canadian players regardless of whether there is a quota or not.
That article is from September. As late as November we learned that the rule was up in the air. I haven't seen anything since and I usually at least glance at the headlines every day.
TFC face Partizan Belgrade and Dinamo in Turkey.

There will certainly be a lot of these:

If they are good, I'm sure he won't care if they are canadian or not.
That is a nice amount of training in preseason. I would have agreed with this healthy amount of training if I weren't so concerned with having half a squad in place as of right now.
With respect to the domestic player rules, the last I heard was that Garber said there would be no changes for 2011 but perhaps in future. The speculated change would have been unfair in the extreme unless we were considered domestic in the US.
There will certainly be a lot of these:
I think you will see more of these...
And who, in early February, will be playing for this empty shell we know as TFC????
Anyone dare to make a trip to Turkey? Serbs and Croats are not your ordinary supporters lol.
Let's send London and Al-Mo...
Agreed!I think you will see more of these...
These friendlies are usually the chance for some Balkan clubs to send their younger players to get scouted across Europe. The field is usually nothing more than your local recreation football park with a swing set, and the matches are not televised.
Lots of really good young talent go here, from all ranks of the mid to lower tier leagues. 2nd division clubs and what not.
Usually, the clubs will announce to scouts "I have the next (insert nations football hero) right here."
Oh also, please do not think that the entire support for the club goes out. Usually just a few fans on vacation, around 50 or so go, if that.
There will certainly be a lot of these:
If the Serbian & Croatian clubs send their full teams, we'll also see lots of these (on the faces of our players)
But I'd MUCH rather train against players that we can learn from rather than some community college kids from Tampa.

but in the past, there was no guarantee that kids from Tampa wouldn't beat us.

DeRo??
On a positive note, I think it's great TFC are taking the team to Europe to play against these types of clubs as part of their pre-season. It would be great if they had full team together though.
hello... SSG! rawr
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
awesome. . . .
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
so let me get this clear..... Belgrade and Zagreb play each other in a preseaon tourney....
Are they expecting the Canadian team to wear light blue berets or something?
for some reason, I didn't think those teams got along. You know.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Maybe we should think about this...???
I mean, based on the size of our roster, if someone travels all the way from Toronto for the match might get some actual playing time on the pitch...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
Nothing to worry about. The game is in Turkey, its not like they have a history of soccer related stabbing violence...oh, wait...
YIt's not a tournament,just friednlies.It is a winter season break for partizan and dinamo and they have spring preseason camp in Turkey.both clubs are there with their full rosters but they wont play against each other.
