so we won..
call me a pessimist but i cant find many good things in that victory. we played like shit, they had a lot more chances than we did, our second goal was soft, the ref was shit and plata forgot how to pass.

After that display of refereeing, I'm ready to support the U.S. embargo of Cuba!!!
So we can win on the road in CONCACAF CL yet we're winless in the MLS.
It's 3 PTS.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm happier than that considering we took 3 points.
Awful ref, awful performance and awful game to watch but a much needed 3 points.
I feel stressed out after watching that.....like I need meds stressed....WOW
plata forgot how to do a lot of things. His second touches all night were awful. Second half he had no vision for passing. Not his best performance.
Referee was disgusting. Embarrassing display of officiating and the play acting in the last 15-20 minutes by Tauro was a joke. However, I'm shocked they didn't do it more in the early stages of the game.
All I will say is that we got three points, and Tauro's penalty call was a legit penalty.
Other than that, let us never speak of this game again. TFC didn't play well, but then again, I don't know how you could play properly when you're essentially petrified of being whistled down every time you challenge for a ball, or touch someone.
The referee was the worst bullshit I've seen since the Gold Cup game from last year. Tauro should be fucking ashamed of themselves too.
I'm tired of games against Central American teams always devolving into whistle-happy flop-fests.

1. TFC got the win.
2. TFC played a fucking disgraceful game, I have no words to describe it how bad of a performance it was.
3. Nothing else is to comment. Just forget this bloody game ASAP.
If I was religious I would say that God is with us on this Voyageurs Cup / CCL quest. But I'm not so maybe it's magic.
Top of the group!
Last year we drew 0 - 0 with Cruz Azul in Mexico...
We played badly, but under the circumstances, I can't be unhappy with 3 points.
The ref was absolutely the worst ref I have ever seen in my life. He makes MLS refs look good. Yes, I know people will say TFC should play in a way to overcome that, but how do you play your game when any contact at all is called against you?????
Thankfully we got outta there with the three points. I'm worried about goal diff tho -- Dallas and Pumas will kill these guys by more goals -- unless they get these shitty Cuban refs.
What we need to do now is totally fucking destroy these Tauro diving cunts at BMO Field. Just destroy them.
Plata was shitty tonight, I guess I jinxed him when I said how great he was in another thread. He just couldn't beat that one defender... and couldn't see his open teammates -- near the end he had Johnson open on the right and shot instead. Maybe they should have moved him to the other side to try his luck against that defender.

That ref made a huge difference in that game. His bloody incompetence had TFC on their heels through most of the game. How many of those 30 fouls were legit?
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Undefeated in 6 straight games... TFC on the march!!!
That was the most pathetic referee in history of football what a dick.
Fouls: 30-11 for Toronto
...........................
I hope we stick it to the Panamanians back at BMO Field
3 Pts is 3 pts but we where almost screwed again.
We can hope for Dallas or Pumas to get red cared in Panama and draw over there.
See you on Wednesday Dallas!
Tfc Allez!!
undefeated in 6 games (4 wins, 2 ties)... that feels really nice to say!
Remember this??

Any touching of Tauro players became grounds for a whistle, no matter how incidental or small. You could see our players were actively avoiding challenging for the ball in the second half, and were looking around expecting a whistle all the time.
This official should be tarred and feathered, then chained to a post in downtown Toronto for an hour so we can all throw rotten vegetables at him.

TFC undefeated in 6. So if we win this, when do we play Barcelona??
I wish this were hockey and Stinson and Harden would pound the crap out of every clown on the field. I miss hockey for this SOOO MUCH!
TFC 2 games in Panama = 49 fouls (official stats had today at 31-15). 8 yellows. 2 reds. 1 PK against (deserved) and whatever happened to de Klerk
Feel like I slept with a fat girl but none of my friends will ever find out. Still a win.
No wonder they had 12 fans in the stands. 8 of whom were lost and couldn't find the swimming pool, but then they realised they came to the right place.
CONCACAF should be embarassed to call what happened tonight part of their "League of Champions"
