Oops. Osorio screws up marking and Glauber scores off a Higuiain set piece

I swear I saw Eckersley hurt himself by kicking the ball back into the net out of frustration, lol.
Still can't defend set pieces..
Cue the groans of dismay and predictions that our season is doomed!
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Another goal off a corner kick
Braun may lack skill, but he's been hustling hard

Liking Welshman's defensive work rate a lot.
edit: Nelsen needs to tell Eckersley to stop booting the ball up the field from the back. He's still in Mariner mode.
Speed up front is defintely a need for us. Slow Justin Braun isn't going to cut it. We need to be able to stretch the opposition D when needed.
So a worse version of Chad BarrettOriginally Posted by Yohan
And no hoofball. Looks to play out of the ball.
Did Jeremy Hall do anything of use as DM? Looks lost. He should be playing wide mid

The only place Jeremy Hall should be playing is a local beer league. I don't understand why he's back this year.
Utility player. That has its own value in MLS

Ah ef, just what we needed to start the year.
Frei makes a bad decision in a preseason game hopefully its okay.
Oh God Frie takes a boot to the face!
That was a dumb thing to do. Silly Frei.
to be fair to him though, he probably prevented a goal..
in a preseason game.. christ.
1st half player ratings:
Hall, Braun and Lambe keeping up their MLS (lack of) form from last year. Welshman is a striker not a winger. Hope 2nd half is more exciting
What? Frei wasn't the one who had his boot up at head height! Fucking crew player!
at least he's up...

Why was that silly by Frei? His head was at chest-level when he made contact with the ball. That was one of many way-too-heavy challenges by Columbus. TFC doing a great job drawing fouls, but they have to score on some of those free kicks. (And 1 or 2 of those Crew players should no longer be on the field.)
Hopefully just a cut/bruise and not anything broken or worse, a concussion. Think he'll be ok.
Utility player isn't an excuse for being a bad player. Ask Portland and Dallas fans(his former clubs). The fact that he made over 100k last year should have been enough to sack all of the TFC management.
Game had all the roughness of a derby

This is such an average pre-season game. I've only ever seen one exciting pre-season game in my life (oxford 3 Aston Villa 2 back in 1995, both teams going at it full pace). You can never really judge a team from pre-season.
Maybe the boot to the head will make Frei actually guess correctly and save a penalty shot this year for the first time in tfc career
Fire Kevin Payne!
