Post Game: Chic 2 @ TFC 2

[Batman]

Feels Like a loss to me.

[TFC07]

Yeah, it does feel like a loss.

[TFCRegina]

Again, we'll be lucky to win 5.

[Soccerpro]

Sadly, we were lucky for 2-2. Santos scores on an awful error by the Fire keeper and Frei makes a wonder save on a breakaway. A fair result, it could be said, would be 3-1 Fire. That tells you just how bad we are.

and we cant blame the refs this time

[TFCRegina]

Cue Pookie and v00d00 defending the brilliant coach that's getting us draws at home and losses on the road.

[TorontoGooner]

Shite. Bollocks to being patient whilst we "rebuild". That was just bad football, through and through. I've said it once, and i'll say it again, the Dutch style only works if you have the quality of players to do it. MLS players aren't up to scratch

If it wasn't for the Frei wonder save we'd have lost

[deltox]

One of the best 1st halfs I've seen them play.

[TFC14]

Fucking shit second half....least City won the FA cup today so i can still go to sleep with a smile on

[2mil4dero+santo]

Any of you guys still "believe" ...?

[smtavare]

Fuck Gargan all attacks were on his wing, goal was his and the rest of the d's fault

Barely took half a dozen posts before someone decided to try and sarcastically start a fight.

Same can be said for William's header that Conway saved, the second goal for Chicago that Frei got his hand on but couldn't stop, etc.

There's no "if"s in sports.

[ExiledRed]

Basically we have to go to Vancouver, and lose by less than we might beat them at BMO.

Im so pleased with the new culture though

[gracos]

another loss for TFC, this is pathetic

[TFC14]

^ LOL

[smtavare]

No energy in second half, man I miss DeRO

they were lucky to score 2, 1st was a none call, and 2nd probably offside in any other league.

[deltox]

Plata for stevanovic?

[TFCRegina]

I believe we made some personnel mistakes this season and we're continuing to do so, all so MLSE management can try to get some bonuses for keeping costs down.

please don't make excuses

[smtavare]

Almost losing in the last 15min of the game -- seems like the good ol days!

[Redcoe15]

They played a great first quarter, a so-so second quarter, and after Marcos' goal early in the second half put them up 2-0, they dug their heels in and let the Fire score two goals in 11 minutes and our side lost the points. What a bitter outcome. It sure felt like a loss tonight.

[deltox]

I'm gonna be positive for a second here. Plata was king today.


Now get back to your bitchfest

[bman27]

feels so much like a loss, what a shame. The First half they looked like a real team, smart decisions, good passing and some fantastic play. The Turning point was Plata coming off, he's proven to be the spark plug for the team. As soon as he came off the whole team seemed to loss energy, that plus the weather, by the time the second goal happened they looked like a different team, they were making poor choices with the ball, if the passes were not going no where already they were getting picked off. This is a team in desperate need of a proper AM to provide the lifeblood, we shouldn't have to rely on our 19 year old to do that

[Dkolish3]

Lost composure after first Chicago goal which in my opinion was a goal no matter what Frei did. First half Chicago had most of the ball but did nothing with it, when TFC had the ball they looked dangerous. To be honest Santos goal was a gift, and it retrospect Chicago probably should have won. good games from Soolsma, Plata, De Guz. Our dreaded home field advantage seems to be gone after going 2-3-1 to start the season, which is poor to most others teams home-field record. Maicon better get healthy.

Until next time onto the NCC.

I thought we played pretty well right up until the subs started, and we clearly shifted gears strategically. We even continued to take it to them for a short while after the second goal.

Definitely a disappointing outcome, because we looked sharp in the early stages.

Plata needs to play a full 90. Taking him off was a difference maker tonight.

[Jamaicanadian]

Plata for stevanovic?

Not a bad exchange in theory.....BUT the side was doing well at that point WTF.....Plata is 19 and was performing well...He cant run a full 90??Mandatory sub @ 60 WTF ...We don't have the depth to make changes like we have depth...

Frei is the man....feels like a loss

We definitely need more offensive talent, so that the complexion of the team doesn't change so drastically when we have to bring a guy like Plata off. I agree with you that his sub was the turning point.
