    I'm down in the Caribbean...neither ESPN3 nor TSN2 are available. What's the score, and how long to go in the game?

    Thanks.

    We've injured Hassli, Camilo and Harris. I would call it a job well done

    True, plus they started their starters, what can they do? Rennie should have started more trialists I guess.

    Losing 1-0, not bad for our "C" squad. When we played an equivalent "C" squad, we won 6-1.

    We'll let them have the Mickey Mouse Cup. We've got a Voyageurs Cup in the trophy case.

    Our Academy impressed me to no end. Well done to the young kids.

    So, do we get the Micky Mouse Silver Medal?

    Quite pleased with the performance. I thought we would get stomped. Great experience for the young players. I could care less if VW put in a full effort or not.

    The kids did very well -- as young as 15 against WC experienced professionals!
    It's not that they Whitecaps were bad, they've beaten every other team. Our academy kids are looking quite good. The long-term future for TFC is looking better than ever.

    I loved to see how well they've learned the system, there were some impressive flowing plays there.

    The one thing that was lacking was a solid goal-scorer. Vukovic didn't really deliver this game.

    Out of the two first-team players, Avila looked really good out there. Surprisingly, Soolsma didn't look any better than the academy kids.

    They took on an MLS first team and put up a great fight. Nicely done.

    Very impressed with the composure of our academy kids.

    No shame in losing that one by the kids. They played with poise and composure. Playing in csl helped alot. Not intimidated by whitecaps. Though they looked gassed out by the end.
    avila has talent but boy he is inconsistent at times. Huezo looks good enough for back up lb. I hope hamilton doesnt pull an aleman. Lots of guys playing out of position but very credible job

    Damn, we have some major youth talent. They really are learning the system well, there was a lot of clean movement (more than the first team, I'd almost say.) If we'd had a bigger mid to compete with Koffie, we might've won that.

    Jr. Burgos is player. We should sign him, Orozco and Huezo, off this performance.

    So TFC has 4 roster spots open, and will probably sign two. One will be a GK. Who would you guys sign? First for GK, and what other player?

    EDIT: saw Jeremy's post. Everyone agree?
