FC Dallas @ TFC CCL Pre-Match Thread
TFC has a golden opportunity to take over sole possession of first place in Group C with a victory over the Hoops at BMO Field. I have no doubt that Winter will dress the strongest lineup possible against a formidable opponent.
TFC 1 FCD 1
---------------Frei--------------
Eckersley--Robinson--Iro--Borman
-----DeGuzman----Frings--------
------------Marosevic-----------
Johnson--------------------Plata
-----------Koevermans----------
Subs: Dunfield, Stinson, Harden
any news on koevermans? he was injured wasnt he?
We need a stronger back line if we're gunna get the must need W at home.
To start. 4-3-3. Diamond in the back
---------------Frei-------------
Eckersley------Robinson----Borman
---------------Frings-------------
Marosevic----DeGuzman-----Dunfield
Johnson--------------------Plata
-----------Koevermans----------
Sub in Iro, move Frings to the M in 2nd half if we need a G.
Does Marosevic have an evidence he can successful play the wing?

What you've drawn is a 3-4-3.
avila cant play until after the group stages having played for dallas
We can't use him until the knockout stage.
all that matters now....
Huge game!.....Max points at home!
well, small mercy that Santos isn't playing against TFC cuz he'd score against us lol

Agreed... Based on recent times - that would be 100% lock!

just wait until sat. two goals by Peterson and Attakora each lol

Attakora I could handle... not Peterson. For the love of FUCK not Peterson!
Co-signed.
If Peterson does score, I'm sure he'll dedicate it to Harden on Twitter
Ah Twitter - the angry athletes' outlet to the world!Co-signed.

Yeah, he was hurt. Not sure on his status at the moment, hope he's fit on Wednesday though.
according to ives.george john will not play weds night.
he his going to get his passport in grecce to sign with blackburn
This is great news if true, we haven't had much luck against him in the past
The Reds backline will have to keep Brek Shea in check, what a player he is.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Puerto Rican referee Javier Santos is in charge of the match Wednesday night. Santos has never officiated TFC before.
In the last 8 international matches Mr. Santos has awarded 24 yellows & 2 reds, including 5 yellows in his last Champions League match Aug 3.
wondering if this guy is just another prick like Brea was last week in Panama.
Seven TFC'ers are carrying a yellow card and risk being suspended for the next CCL match if they get carded by this guy Wednesday.
And I can still WELL remember seeing that goal scored by him in the mls game from my spot in the 5th row of 113!!
Do these include cards handed out in the prelims vs. Real Estali?
Rumors are George John to Blackburn for 3.2 million! WOW! I always thought he was good but not 3.2 good. I wonder what Brek Shea could get?
Who else is missing from the yellows here?
Discipline Summary:
TOR –Iro, 20’
TOR – Eckersley, 32’
TOR – Stinson, 46’
TOR –Kocic, 55’
TOR –De Guzman, 91’
I think you're missing Plata
Yes.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Apparently he's not available tomorrow. John is taking a trip to Greece to sort out his paperwork then off to England to see if a deal can be firmed up.

So Ugo Ihemelu is George John's CB partner? Who replaces John now? I don't follow FC Dallas well enough to know their depth players.
it will be interesting to see which squad Hyndman brings to Toronto, seeing Dallas lost to Seattle in Dallas last game.

probably Bobby Warshaw or Jack Stewart. one of their other defenders Zach Loyd also got injured last game, Dallas had to shift formation. If Hyndman sticks with the makeshift defence from last game, back four will be Benitez-Ihemelu-Jackson-Hall

I'm glad Dallas played in Mexico last week and played an MLS game on the weekend and has a game this coming Saturday. No more significant 'rest advantages' for our opponents, which was a common theme earlier in the season. This scheduling is fair.
The funny thing is, TFC has a long two-week break after Saturday's SJ game at home, while Dallas has a US Open Cup game and a friendly in that same period. If they didn't have US Open Cup and didn't schedule that friendly, they'd have had 2 weeks off too.
