Keep Harden on the bench and we are trough.
Game is on Sportsnet One.
I'm going to assume Frei starts this one.
Team needs to be patient and composed and it really should have no problems with Estelli.
It IS a road game, though, with which historically this club has not been able to cope, whether CCL or league play. I think we'll probably need to score at least once if we hope to go through. And yes, Harden HAS to be benched and Frei HAS to start. We've shat the bed when it comes to the league, so let's put out our best 11 in CCL play and see what we can do.
Thank goodness this game is on sportsnet
what's the travel plan for TFC for this game?
Did they go out yesterday chartered directly from Portland to Nicarauga?
Do they have to take a long bus ride to the stadium? Just curious!
Does this mean that the game isn't time delayed on sportsnet either?

sleep one night, game day light practice, and kick it off at night
Johnson scores, Plata scores, 2-1 TFC advance
Been abroad for 30 days, but have been trying to follow whenever I could. Haven't been able to watch full games but I've been impressed from what I've seen and read pertaining to the last three or four games. I expect a win tomorrow night, as we continue to work towards building a team that can contend with the top tier teams in the MLS. Esteli, frankly, seem very weak. Anything less of a win is a definitive step backwards for us.
don't forget to post streams that anyone comes across..
shoeless joe's viewing tomorrow night anyone?
Put me down. What time do they close on a Tuesday night?
most likely 1am ish if i remembered right.
anyone hear who the referee is??
wikipedia knows best

That's all I'll say about that.
what happened to the streaming from concacaf?
^^ Hopefully the Hondurans hate the Nicaraguans? Probably not...
^ About the CONCACAF streaming: not happening during the preliminary rounds, apparently due to licensing rights...
Pretty sure it only got picked up at the Group stage last time, though there is on demand stuff from the previous preliminaries posted now.
That's all I'll say about that.
TFC will have to score a goal, maybe two to advance. That away goal we conceeded looms large.
I wonder if Frings three or four years ago thought he would be playing in stifling Nicaraguan heat for a Canadian socceer team. To me he will be the key in providing leadership to get us through what I suspect could be a dicey opening 30.

If TFC can score one, I think we are through. I'm going to say TFC win 2-1, depending on how strong of a lineup we field.
Anything less than going through is a failure.

koverman scores 3 in a breakout game. 3-0 toronto
+1 on both
Ive got a feeling Winter is going to be rolling the dice on not only trying to make it to the group, but out of the group stages. While the season in MLS isnt totally lost, I would be surprised if he didnt field an almost full strength side.
just checked fox soccer and for us living in the states fox soccer willl be showing this game..
There.
When we leave.

I think its on Sportsnet one, which their cable channel. It's right up there with CBC bold.....
Correct...10 pm on Sportsnet One....
Winter will dress our best starting eleven. The officials will gift the home side a PK, and their keeper will make key saves, but the good guys will still prevail.
TFC 1 Real Esteli 1
Sportsnet one.... is that up near 100 on Rogers (Mississauga)? I forget.
What's the atmosphere like at Joe's for these games?
