TFC 0 - FC Dallas 1: Post Match Threadgasm

[__wowza]

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
t's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.

It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight.

Why do we always come here
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show

And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show!

[__wowza]

what can ya say?

crosses into a box full of marked attackers.
dallas controlled the pace after a weak goal.
ecks red carded because he couldnt keep his head.

[T-boy]

With Eckersley getting a yellow, and then two yellows overall for a suspension, will he miss one game for the yellow card accumulation, or two games with the red also????? Anybody know?

[Shakes McQueen]

A shame, after they were given a second lease on life with the abandonment.

I didn't see the game, so I'll leave it to what I'm guessing were the scant few who saw it, to commentate on the performance.

[Derko]

Poor effort after an unmarked goal, Plata is becoming very selfish, trying to do it all by himself, we are in for a tough ride now.

[brad]

Going to be some tired players against SJ his weekend.

[rocker]

FC Dallas was clearly the better team in over a game a half. No surprises in this game at all.

[T-boy]

Dallas had TFC tied up in the first half I would say, controlled the play, should have been two goals up with the penalty. Second half TFC got going a little bit, but by the time they got some balls into the Dallas box, they had packed it solid and we had no chance.

Johnson was FAR too isolated on his own up front, couldn't hold the ball up and therefore Dallas kept getting posession back. TFC had one "good" chance through Peri, otherwise Hartman didn't have much to do, the Dallas defense easily had Johnson out of the game.

Last year we were angry and we let management know; what are we going to do this year? It seems like people don't care as much or aren't as vocal. This team has 4 wins all season - are we waiting for ticket package information or what can we do with a few games left to let TFC management know this isn't good enough. Season VI around the corner and we're at the bottom of the league.

This is far worse for MLSE then people being angry and vocalizing it.

So? Still a team that's not performing.

yeah, this is worse than last season. i feel that people dont care enough to complain. apathy is far worse than anger. love something or hate something, youre still putting the same amount of effort into it.

[Shakes McQueen]

I think plenty of people care - they just don't know how else to fix it, except to continue along the path we are currently on and hope for the best.

I can only speak for myself, but I certainly don't care as much as I used to. Last night I didn't even hesitate and left the stadium as soon as they announced the delay. I suppose I could have played hookie from work this morning and headed over to BMO, but why bother?

[T-boy]

Honestly, I would say that TFC aren't any better than they were this time last season. Yes, we have a new coach with a new style, yes we have completely new squad barring a couple of players, but are TFC playing any better? I would honestly have to say no I would actually say that TFC are possibly worse now. I think our best two players of this season (Plata and Eckersley) are not as good as last season's best two players (Nana and De Rosario), and the thing that makes it even worse, is that Plata and Eckersley aren't owned by TFC.

Nana was never our best player?? And Frings is?? what??...your point may be correct but your argument is confusing.

[reggie]

let the rebuild begin again...

[TO DEVILS]

Tis a real pity.

[Derko]

Or better yet, be a realist and water it and watch it grow for a few years.
It will take that long.

Stop making sense, God-damn it! This is where we're supposed to yell nonsensical things about not winning a game nobody expected us to!!

I was there, we panicked every time someone put a bit of pressure on us for some reason. Not many people looked comfortable on the ball and we have little to no penetration without Koevermans up front. Borman has to go. He can't play full back, he can't play wing back. He makes me miss Nick Garcia who was serviceable at left back once he was moved away from the centre.

Positives: Morgan seemed up for it when he came on, Harden seemed solid, we were two brain farts away from a draw (Johnston losing his man for the goal and Borman with a terrible play for the penalty). Oh and we got to go to the food hall at half-time.

This might be the most backwards expansion side ever created.

Portland could make the playoffs in year one, Seattle already did, Philly might make in year two, we need six years at the least.

Get used to it my friend. This is Toronto, where mlse reigns supreme and losing is part of the process and the plan. Need a rookie manager anybody?

And, based on a few games, Frings, while better than JDG, appears to be another wasted DP signing. Yes he is a proven winner. Yes he has scored and won in many world cup games. But, as a defender, he may as well be Attakora or Gargan. We lose with, or without him. Until we see him play a dozen games as an attacking midfielder, his presence will be a complete waste. What the fuck is the manager thinking?

[evermorian]

What the fuck is the manager thinking?

What would you have the manager to do? With a depleted back line and an incompetent center back in Iro, he has to put the best available person in that position. Right now, unfortunately, that person is Frings. What would you do? Right now Winter has to work with what he has, and unfortunately what he doesn't have right now is a center back. And there are other ways to make an argument without using a swear word, just saying.

[Greatest Ripoff]

Sorry but Frings has never been and never will be an attacking mid fielder. Also, I feel he has been our best player since joining the team. Am i watching different games or just out to lunch?

With the payer turnover this year..we have a new team on the pitch since July and everyone expects and accepts that were are we deserve to be in CCL...c'mon

RED & GREY DISEASE IS SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE HERE. MLSE MUST HAVE PLANTED THE VIRUS!

[Yohan]

dire in need of a playmaker and it showed. a little more attempt to play the ball through the middle but tfc attack is still predictable.

still, competitive match vs one of the best in the league. dallas did just enough for the 3 points and they didn't dominate tfc, which i suppose, is progress. still impressed by how good dallas is

I got the feeling Dallas beat us at home both times this season without taking their team into 5th gear. It looked likt they could have wound TFC up at any moment if they really wanted to stretch it. Dallas are a good, well organised team.

their 5th gear is this guy named David Ferreira... he's scary to watch

Oh come on, so when TFC loses 1-0 it's because the other team didn't play hard enough? Geez..... people have a way of spinning any result. Sigh.

So did Dallas take it easy on us in the two other games where they beat us only 1-0?

So you really think that Dallas beat TFC at a struggle? Honestly, can you say that?!

It looked to me like Dallas could have upped their tempo if TFC scored against them and probably retaken the lead. Dallas beat TFC at home, on both occassions, without breaking too much of a sweat!

If you think Dallas struggled in that game, then I clearly watched a different game to you!
