Way to gut out the draw boys. Vancouver fans have to be really disappointed with the result. They could have easily won 3-0.

Lucky to walk out with a point off that one. The game next week is going to be intense! Come on you Reds!!!
I only watched the first half (old, need my sleep) and I thought the game was pretty even...I guess Vancouver took it to us in the second half. We need to steal points wherever we can.
I hope we have a newar full house next week.
that serves as a good quick summation of the match. still can't believe we came out of that seccond half with a draw. next week is going to be tense.

TFC get lucky

2 cross-bar hits and a hit off the post all before they scored their goal. Extremely poor start to the second half.
It really does highlight that some of our bench/depth players are just not ready yet. With Peterson & Tchani going off injured the game completely changed. It became very open, formation was breaking down in the midfield, etc.
We were very lucky to get out of Van with an away goal, let alone a tie. TFC will be in very tough for the return leg. Vancouver looks very hungry to win the NCC.
Well, the positive - a draw on the road, and a NCC Final showdown at BMO Field on Wednesday...
The negative - not the best performance, and some injury worry...
This weekend will go a long way to see how much Winter values the NCC Title...
Personally, with Vancouver having the week off (I think) and the boys playing on that marble-logged picth - I'd like to see the B-Squad out their on the weekend. Rest up the big guns and the guys who log the KM's on the pitch - and head into Wednesday as fresh as possible...
Hell, I'd send some guys home now, bring in some of the youngsters and have them work on stuff specifically designed for the Vancouver game at BMO field now...
In a full re-building year, winning the NCC would be a nice treat - especially since it looks like its going to be a battle with Vancouver...
Carts...
I bet Winter plays a strong squad on Sunday. That seems to be his method.
By the way, do you have the TV numbers for last nights game?
i thought their midfield paly was as good as its ever been
if plata was having a better night, things would have been different.
and oh, bring back gareth wheeler, like his style and opinions or not, at least he knew what he was talking about. ryan wolstat is absolutely terrible. gargan's backpass to frei a penalty?
1st half I would agree, 2nd half was all together different.
Matt Gold was lost out there. The kid, (although he is 22), just had no clue where to be. He had no idea how to make himself available for the ball or to draw players with him when we had possession. I'm not seeing his footy IQ out there and that worries me. I'm hoping it's just a lack of time in the system and playing minutes.
Cordon has so much upside and potential I love this kid! But sometimes he forces the play and when we lose possession our formation is completely blown and we get countered easily. However, with Cordon I see him reading the flow of the game and trying to get into positive positions. (big difference between him and Gold) I think Cordon will learn when to push the play and when to keep it simple.
What is with the Sun's coverage of TFC lately though? I'm no big Wheeler fan, and can't say I'm missing him, but you have 3 (or more) different people writing about the club lately, none of whom is particularly knowledgeable. Why not have one beat writer who actually knows what he's talking about?
- Some have suggested that was a penalty. I know John Molinaro believed it was and I know Forrest mentioned it on air. It was a judgement call.
- Kurt Larson is the analysis guy for the Sun. He's probably the best TFC reporter in terms of analysis working for one of the major newspapers. I think this is his first year covering the team. Only thing is like Wheeler used to be, his column only appears on Mondays.
- Matt Gold is your typical NCAA product. He's the reason why teams should have academies instead of relying on NCAA products.
^I do agree with you on Larson, I should say. He's definitely the best of the bunch.
Even if it was a backpass - it would be a yellow and an indirect freekick - not a penalty...
This...Molinaro and Forrest both thought it was a backpass and this is the consequence of a backpass, not a Penalty.
i hope you're not talking about the backpass here, because a backpass is never, ever a penalty, it's an indirect free kick
My bad... my bad.... LOL
Don't know why I thought it was a penalty.
'Cause you're a hockey guy Vic...
Just had a mental block.
In one of the leagues I played in recently... that was one of the different rules we played under... if it occurred inside the box.
yep, gotta say i like larson too
Dios mio, somebody inform FIFA!
I don't want Sepp Blatter corrupting men's leagues as well.Dios mio, somebody inform FIFA!
