TFC @ Dynamo Pre-Match/match Thread
Last match for TFC before a much needed break in the schedule that will precede the debuts of Frings and Koevermans, and allow key reinforcements to return from the infirmary.
Hopefully, the boys will put on a strong performance tonight to help erase the memory of the debacle in New York.

According to the Fan 590, Santos and De Guzman are out.

You can really feel the game day anticipation in this thread.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
It's not like the "old" days hahaha....what could have been...
2-0. For Houston, that is. Last bad blowout before the crucial reinforcements arrive.
Game time temperature 30 degrees, feels like 39 with the humidex. Not fun.
I'm expecting a loss, probably at least a couple of free-kick goals for Houston. Actually I would be really disappointed if TFC didn't lose....
I'm at the point where I'd be happy if we scored.
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
yeah really... fml

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.”

you are far to generous... 3-0 for Houston.

I can't read these threads when almost everyone is being negative. We got blown out at new york because of tired bodies injured bodies and players not playing in their natural positions. New York is a good team dont forget that.
TFC wins today 1-0 or 2-1 but they will win I know this team will do great things really soon .... NO more MO no more carver,preki,cummins,daso,... When todays game is done and the final whistle blows i want all the TFC negative coments to stay out of these threads. Seems to me like the same people that are leaving negative comments are the same that are in hiding when the Maple Leafs are out of the playoffs .... You either bleed red or the Reds and bleed blue for the Leafs. Or just shut the hell up.
The Turn around starts tonight. when Frings and Danny oohhhh Danny come into our regular line up this team along side DeGuz ARE going to do great things! in the league and Concacaf.
TFC TILL I DIE WIN OR LOOSE
THIS IS MY TEAM
TAKE IT TO THE GRAVE
Only Conor Casey and Juan Pablo Angel have scored more goals against Toronto FC in Major League Soccer than Brian Ching has. Ching has scored five against us in seven games he has played
True... It really is year-1 all over again for real...!!!
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
this is precious, thanks for the laugh
My knees got shredded at footy last night and the blood was red - but I still don't think we're going to beat Houston... LOL
Its 100 degrees down there & we have a break in the schedule coming up, so - play hard, physical, even a little dirty... Stick in and give Houston a war & the bumps that come with it, they might not like it and hold off a bit and maybe, we can keep it close enough to grab a draw...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
And thats why you go to the games to get drunk and not support your team the way you should ... your making me laugh! I'll remember to catch your posts when this team starts winning. If tfc wins your buying me a Frings Kit and i'll do the same if they loose... care to make a wager son.
Shit just got real...!!!
Those kits are $120....
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
Thats hot as hell but it will be no different here in Toronto it is summer you know, the forcast for today in near 40 C with humidity .... ummmm that the same as huston!
Interestingly enough, TFC has won two in a row against Houston, but our reserve squad will definitely have their work cut out for them tonight. Once again, a draw would be an accomplishment.
120 for the replica 149 for the real thing ... I never liked fake shit anyway... Make it the real thing them...
You're kind of missing the point...
Being the road team, and coming into tough climate conditions (yes we do have hot days like that SOMETIMES in Toronto) Houston are probably expecting us to come in a play a "conservative" road game - a play for the draw...
My thought, since we have a break in the schedule, and two new players that will take places in the starting-11, why not go out there and really take it to them... Bang'em, foul'em in the midfield, stick in with tackles, walk that edge of physcial and dirty...
That could catch Houston off guard a little... Also, they don't have the same break in the schedule, or two new starters coming into the top-11 like we do... So they might not want to be that willing to take the bump, take the injury, or take the cards / suspensions that come with it...
I'm trying to think of a tactic that might get a result...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
I got it, the 10-0-0 formation that Dasovic used in Mexico against Cruz Azul last year?
LOL!!!I got it, the 10-0-0 formation that Dasovic used in Mexico against Cruz Azul last year?
11 across the goal line / perma-WALL...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
You're betting on tonight's game? That's some hardcore positivity there
We've done it before, we can do it tonight. Let's see.
I think we'll see Gordon pot his 5th tonight. Hoping Soolsma gets one in open play too.
I'm calling an optimistic tie 2-2.
If Gordon is ready to go that would definitely help. If he's questionable, I'm not sure it would be wise to risk him aggravating his groin injury with 11 days off after tonight's match.
Gordon is definately a wild card remember his godly showing in L.A.
Gordon is the key to making the 4-3-3 work until Koeverman arrives. It won't work without him.
Houston is one of the easiest road games we have remaining. Tonight is a must win if we're planning on making a run at the playoffs ...
ahahahaha i'm figuratively rolling on the ground right now
thanks forum user 19Barrett19
Hoping for a good result, but doubt we'll be able to do much with our current squad. Really I'm just looking forward to the next one with our new players.
