I would argue good goalkeeping a lazy LA forwards. They were offside way more often than not. The linesman's decisions went both ways as LA had a couple of chances they shouldn't have.Originally Posted by brad

Very true.
On the officiating front - I was specifically referring to when Magee (I think) put it in the back of the net. That looked onside to me.
Agree that the crap decisions went both ways last night.
It's on 28th. Wed.
Away on April 4th Wed.
CONCACAF site have conflicting information about game dates on different pages, it really depends which page you look, lol
Amateur time.
The CONCACAF site crashes my IE everytime....not sure why but it does.
“Tonight's a disappointing night because we didn't expect to lose the game, we didn't think we were going to lose the game, we didn't want to lose the game, so we're disappointed.”
beckham speaking here. honestly.. it played like they underestimated us. even with the first game being the way it was, and the fact that they had just played on saturday, he says that they didn't think they were going to lose?

Paul Beirne @Paulbeirne TFC will take on Santos Laguna in the CONCACAF Champions League Semi Final (first leg) on March 28. Ticket info soon!
Can we say #RogersCenterCCL one more time!! Let the masses united again!
Will MLSE go for another big payday and have the game at the dome, or will they try to make the mexicans as uncomfortable as they can and play the game at BMO?
Maybe "accidentally" turn the sprinklers on at the north end as Santos is going through their pre-game warm up?
O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever
^ not happening. rogers centre had a few things going for it:
1) star power
2) beckham
3) cold weather

Wow, that ESPN article makes me want to punch my monitor. Some of the most biased garbage I've ever read. Surprised he managed to finish writing the thing, since it's pretty clear he burst into tears half way through the LA-TFC part.

EDIT: Never mind, I read a different article.
As per TFC
1) Match will be at BMO
2) Tickets go on sale on the 22nd
It was a 10 p.m. game.not meaning to burst anyone's bubble but..
even with that amazing, world reaching win. . . its still second page news in Toronto.
Front page Kessel column etc. was probably layed out way in advance.
Probably weren't saving P1 of sports for a 1 a.m. layout ... given they could have just as easily lost 3-0. Or what have you.
4) knowledge of the game months in advance
Any word on the TV ratings for the game?
I can't imagine them being great - considering it was a 10pm start.
That is the biggest reason why it will be at BMO. The game is less than two weeks away and other than the game at the dome, we haven't even had enough to fill BMO for the previous CCL games. My guess - STHs get first crack at tix tomorrow (Friday - Sunday) and it opens up to the public on Monday.
I see more interest than the first leg on the game. Ppl are asking me if they'll play again in the Skydome, regular people not true fans. I think they did the job, on the field and off the field...football can be number 1 this summer!

Henry basically calls out his teammates (well, not really, but he's really frustrated)

Shall I make this its own thread, or post in here. CCL is more important than our opening game.
Opening game lineup
Quilan Roberts (or an MLS rent-a-keeper)
Harden Maud Henry Cann (Cann needs a kick-about)
Cordon Lambe Stinson Dunfield

There is already a thread for the Seattle game, so go ahead and post it there.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Hmm. Wonder what kind of money he would be asking for to come to the MLS??
and they'll pay a surcharge to get better toilets to pee in. What pathetic club.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

DC really have no choice with the city not being cooperative right now.

Toronto dump Galaxy out
i like it when we are reported on FIFA.com...
Just wanted to mention, the location of the article in the Star is definitely related to the late game time. In fact, I believe the TFC article is only in the version available at news stands, which is printed a bit later. The paper for home delivery (which we get) didn't mention the TFC game, because the news obviously came too late for that printing. The article was fairly prominent on the Star website, at least for parts of today.
The TFC win was getting mentioned repeatedly on 680 News today, during the newscast (i.e., in addition to the sports news). Approximate story line was "at least one Toronto sports team is getting it done these days."
