Does anybody else sit before game time and think 'shit, I miss Koevermans.'

I sit before game time and think "shit, I miss a football club"

I'll be expecting a big game from Heskey.

So has everybody else for nigh on 15 years.

Never happens though.

Where did you're old one go?


I miss the days when JBX was all for Jacob Peterson

I really hope that TFC can win some games and not finish last (or bottom 3 in the league).

Lets imagine that MLS had a second division and teams could be relegated at the end of the season.


TFC: (end of season position, bottom 3 relegated)

2007 = 13 out of 13 (relegated)
2008 = 12 out of 14 (relegated)
2009 = 11 out of 15 (not relegated)
2010 = 11 out of 16 (not relegated)
2011 = 16 out of 18 (relegated)
2012 = 19 out of 19 (relegated)

Come on guys!! Lets at least stay out of the bottom 3!!

^ sad thing is that despite finishing low, we traded away one of the only benefits of finishing low with no 1st Round Pick in 2010 & 2011. No top picks for us those years, no free access to Generation Adidas players.

But on the plus side we parlayed the 2010 1st round pick for Adrian Serioux, whom I liked but only managed 26 games in Red. Dallas used our pick on Zach Lloyd, a defender with regular starts and 3 caps for the USMNT who still plays for Dallas. And following that good move up, we shipped the 2011 pick for Nathan Sturgis with players like Saprong and Will Bruin available at the time we would have drafted.

Aces.

I can't even believe how bad the video is when the games are on GolTV. What a fucking joke. Meanwhile we can get every Whitecaps game in crisp clear HD despite them being a team from across the country. get your shit together MLSE.

Chances are GOL will be gone in a few months...no use putting any effort into that.

[[NBF]]

boring.

Didn't they lose the Spanish La Liga rights?

I think you may be right. With the Bell/Rogers takeover the channel may be deemed too much of a money loser.

Fuck, my tv lineup is getting pretty thin.

Effective this season? no more la liga?

[narduch]

As for the game, its pretty much all KC attacking in TFC's end.

Although there was one moment where the last KC defender tackled Hassli and should have been red carded. The ref gave a yellow.

[[NBF]]

So did Heskey miss his flight? I thought he was coming to TFC.

[OgtheDim]

boring.

can't all be Norwich and Fulham...

Some company from Qatar named beIN Sport has snapped up the North American rights to La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 & South American WC qualifers. The broadcast of all those leagues is now up in the air in Canada.

Really? That's crap.

Although, I have to say I've liked the brazilian league coverage that's filled some of the void.

[iy12l]

should of played lambe over the weed-man,,

Speaking of Fulham, what dick move by Dempsey to decide he was worth a 1st round pick by Liverpool. He should of known that you get chastised in football if you pull shit like that. It dont matter if you are Tevez or Ibrahimovic.

[DoubleUp]

midfield looking suspect.

[narduch]

should of played lambe over the weed-man,,

Lambe is hurt.

[Soccerpro]

Wow, a lot of people don't even post in these game threads anymore. SKC playing well right now, TFC not much posession.

[OgtheDim]

Oh my gosh.............a central defender yelling out instructions? I may swoon....

[DoubleUp]

should of played lambe over the weed-man,,

He's injured.

[ag futbol]

Wiedeman is a suspect choice at best. I mean jesus, the number of players we have playing out of position now... this is starting to look very Mo Johnston.

Yup its true. No La Liga on Gol TV this weekend.

There are rumours that the Qatar company is looking to buy a piece of TLN and EWS and then use both of those channels. I guess they didn't understand CRTC rules before purchasing the rights (or didn't care).
