    Thats epic, but waste imo. I already know Mlse is a disease.



    but that should show people that winning by any means, having the advantage/edge over your opponent
    is becoming more apparent in this league and Toronto is being left behind.

    One thing I've not seen anyone post about was the hand ball on Ryan Smith, who was already on a yellow. You can really intentionally jump up and catch a ball on the pitch, then go "tee-hee, I thought I was standing out of bounds" in MLS? What the fuck? That is a red card. I got cut from a team as a kid for doing that. What the fuck was up with that?

    Never expected it to get this bad, however after the epic night at Rogers Centre and advancing in CCL, it was an early peak to our season, then our field general Frings goes down in Seattle, then Frei in training, I got that old Toronto feeling that seems to encompass all of our teams when we are finally looking forward to a season full of promise.

    Cant get much lower from here I hope.

    Success in VI.
    how about,
    Success in Game VI.
    might be more appropriate for now.



    Edit : I'm going to loose my mind if Winter mentions Bad Luck one more time.

    It's not the system...imo....Winter's player choices seem wrong...of course he has limited choices in the midfield...JDG and Dunfield are pretty much hopeless...surely there's some better options someplace...Mariner MUST get some new blood...and don't give up on DK just yet...get him the ball and he will score....

    I find the panic going on over the top.

    Frings will be back, and the team will get a result next game. The team was built around Frings, and it needs him. Like I said before it cannot win without him.

    Whether the points picked up over the rest of the season is enough to make up for his injury time and get TFC into the playoffs is up for debate.

    I heard on HNIC the proposed sale of MLSE has hit some roadblocks, as the Competition Bureau has some issues with Bell owing both the Leafs and the Canadiens (or something like that).

    What happened to "you don't build around a single" player?

    And what does it say about the way this team is built if they're worse this year without that player?

    Say what you want about Preki but his team imploded because he treated them like shit, not because his system was ineffective. One injury/absence didn't collapse the team like this.

    If the team really is so dependent on one player that it can't win without him then it really is time to start panicking

    Building around one aged, rental player seems to be the exact opposite of what was promised after the Klinsmann consultancy.

    I don't disagree that's what they've done, it's just the opposite of what they said they'd do.

    It sure is a shame about Preki..

    Too bad he couldn't get along with anyone.

    I'm in total agreement with you, Roogsy (well, except maybe about Preki). They shouldn't have built the team around Frings. I think they fell into that when Mariner's defensive selections failed.

    Really this two-headed beast (Winter/Mariner) which was supposed to have made up for the weak areas of each guy is not working.

    That doesn't mean, however, that TFC cannot squeak into a playoff spot, its just a lot less likely now.

    My point is that supporting your team should NOT be treated like a consumer transaction. Unfortunately, for many on this side of the pond (and in this city), this is how it is. This is not about money. Yes, they charge you admission to get into BMO, but so does every other professional sports team around the world. That's how it works.

    One-sided loyalty -- that's the only kind there is, isn't there? Two-sided loyalty?! LOL!

    Listen, I'm not suggesting in the least that the team you support should be impervious to criticism. Far from it. Supporters have a right to be upset and a right to express their displeasure. If someone is satisfied with the state of this team right now, there's something seriously wrong. But it's those others that call themselves fans or supporters from time to time and that are now packing it in and are going to stop following and supporting the team that make me shake my head.

    Talk to a few supporters of teams in the English leagues (below the EPL) about being treated as a cash cow.

    We're hardly the first or the worst treated.

    As for taking pride in the team over the management, that's the difference between being a supporter and being a consumer. I know this is very difficult for people to understand but TFC does not = MLSE

    What was the stat they threw up during the broadcast yesterday? 9 goals in 14 games? Those are pretty weak numbers right there, considering that Ronaldo and Messi are averaging over a goal per game.

    but the system was, for the most part, completely ineffective - they just imploded before that became the big issue.

    From everything I've heard, the only thing Preki taught the players was how to jog for hours. Yes the team had better stamina, but still didn't seem to have anything resembling a system.

    is the "" because you're comparing the goal rate of a player on our team with two of the most productive players in the world? because it should be, if it wasn't.
