Damn right we won. Now we can try and win a road game against the horrible Fire next weekend.
Discuss. Kocic and Plata were awesome.
Post-Match: TFC 1 RSL 0 (You read that right)

That last minute diving save was amazing... Plata was awesome.
Holy crap. That was the most organized I've ever seen us be. Can't believe we just beat RSL. Credit, where credit is due. We played great tonight. Well done boys.
Frings played great as our cb because he is so positionally aware but I hope we soon adress the back line so he can get back to where he belongs.
Next season is looking good and it was really nice being at a sold out game again.
Great game.
As stated above, the most organized I've seen us play in forever. I still can't believe we nicked that goal and then held firm at the back.
Frings and Ecks were solid at the back, and I think JDG had a great game as well in the midfield. We actually looked threatening on the counter too. Well done to Plata, such a breath of fresh air. Kocic was a rock as well.
All in all a fabulous result for the boys. Winter knows what he's doing.
Great game, but Iro is still awful! He better not start CCL game this Thursday.
wat happen to Ryan Johnson? was he injured? or jsut invisible?
injured id assume as he wasnt on bench or field

Bottom line, sweet three points against a tough opponent.
Also happy with Winter's flexibility to switch to 3-4-3.
Just repeat this 8 more times at least and we're in the playoffs.

last 15 mins were a bit hairy, overall great effort from the boys. cant wait till we have a proper back line.
Kocic really came through for us. He's legit. My impression was that we did well. Absorbed a lot of pressure at the end. Impressed that A.W. went with a 3-4-3.
3-4-3 is our new system!
until teams figure out how to beat it.
I can't imagine that Frings was happy playing CB but he filled a big hole tonight. He's the kind of player than you can call on to do whatever is needed. We really need to find a quality CB. Top priority.
That was a good game and one the team really needed to keep their confidence going.
The important thing was organized defending. Other than Iro coming over to needlessly double team a defender and nearly leaving his man open for a goal, I didn't see a large amount of fuckups.
great showing all around. Borman had one of his best games as a red.
Kocic...just fantastic tonight.
Plata I thought was trying a bit too hard to be a hero and gave away possession too many times, but otherwise worked his ass off and deserved to get the winner.
With the Fire up next week, a match surely Winter will want to get revenge for after the game in Toronto, we could start to get on a roll.
Rsl still have not scored at bmo field in mls game. Ever

The fucking walk to get in the stadium was unreal. I nearly got in a fight with two security guards with all the hoops they made us walk through. Had we not won I'd be irate. Should have been a draw. RSL deserved better, but we got a bit of luck and that's been in short supply around here this season.

ha I'm still looking for the tailgate.....walking around in circles inside the gates,...MLSE should be pissed the way it's fans get treated trying to get to the game....idiot security and all they are doing is getting ready for the ex.......how a paying customer can be treated so badly!
Anyhow fun game anyone notice how strong and aggressive Henry was in the later stages of the game,...great tackles!

Ya, other then that one bad touch, where he tried to clear it and shanked it out for a corner, he looked really good.. Other then that one game, I think it was againt RSL on the road where he got exposed often, he's been impressive. Looks like he has a place in this league.
Agreed. I couldn't believe how poor the signage was -- I ended up walking almost all the way to Ontario Place and then had to go all the way back and around.
The good:
-win at bmo
-platas work rate
-kocic being awesome
-harden and henry having good game defensively
-winter being on the money with subs again
The bad:
-the ref...
-tfc set piece defending. How many times rsl guy won headers on corners?
-jdg fail at passing
-iro
The ugly
-the dirty hippy
-that diving twat saborio. Im beginning to hate him as much as i used to hate shitlicker
-the douche in habs jersey inciting the crowd. I wanted to clotheline that fucker off the railing

that was in front of me and never before have I wanted to start one up, drunken shithead......when my wife went to the washroom lo and behold she told the security to get rid of that clown or else!!..ha she ws pissed, and they told him to go back up to his seats....poor bastards wherever caveman was sitting...actually lost the game for a bit, shame

Tonight was my first game of the season, had seats in sec 220 and went to sec 110 for the second half.
Had a great time. Didn't enjoy parking at fort york and walking in what seemed to be a maze (unsure why they blocked off the direct walk throught the CNE???).
Kocic played fantastic, and overally it was an enjoyable game.
I second wanting to close line that clown wearing a Habs Jersey. I wish I had no class so I could chuck my beer at him, at least thats how I felt, lol.
we have 8 games left, in order to make the playoffs we must:
win atleast 5 or win 4 and tie the rest.
Lets not wrap our heads around playoffs and take it one game at a time
I do hope this game is a statement game and the lads use the win to pump themselves for the rest of the season

oh ok thanks, because my foresight as a fan effects anything?
were not on the team, were not getting ahead of ourselves or psychologically disadvantaging ourselves.
Great win, but a fortunate one. RSL had a lot of chances.
But I guess TFC was due to get some luck finally.
That's not good enough. It will probably take at least 7 wins.
Its pretty much a foregone conclusion that there will be no playoffs this year.
That being said if TFC continues to play like they did today there is hope for the future of this club. And I actually have some optimism for the CCL now.
How long should it take a professional athlete to get in shape? I'm asking this question seriously. Is a month and a half not sufficient time?
