Pre/In/Post - Voyageurs Cup Semi Final Leg 2: Toronto at Montreal, Wed 1 May, 7:30pm

[khso11]

ok, tbh 2 is not that hard

[TFC07]

I hope this means there are going to be a lot of changes coming a lot of quicker now after this performance.

[khso11]

theres a chance silva

[DoubleUp]

I see what you're saying, and I get the box to box argument. He doesn't really push the way an AM does, it's more like he wants to suck up the ball and distribute. But what stumps me is that he has very few defensive qualities you'd expect a box-to-box player to have. Canada played him as a #10 (not that I trust Colin Miller) and while he didn't push the attack forward at all, that was the most comfortable I've seen him on the field in a non-college game.

I think we agree on what he's doing out there regardless of what we want to call it.

To be fair he still developing, so its not set in stone.

But a box to box midfielder isnt Overtly defensive in the sense that he will rip a guys leg off with a tackle(if he does it, its a bonus), Most of his defensive work will come from reading the game and cutting out passes .

[FluSH]

Just speechless

[QBall]

Tonight is not a good night to be a sports fan in Toronto.

[OgtheDim]

Well this is going to be a rough few days. Game at altitude to follow on Saturday.

[billyfly]

Lets Go Marlies

[khso11]

thats karma (to camara)

[Sweeper]

The thing that pisses me off is I can't even watch this game. Can't believe I have to subscribe to Sportsnet 1 to watch Canadian championship soccer. How much of the massive tv revenues for this end up going to the team or grassroots soccer?

[Eastend]

You know your team is shit that with without Justin Braun on the pitch you're total shit.

ok, let's start this here..........

You know you're team is shit when.....the opposing keeper is down along with a defender and you still can't score even with the ball in the box.

[JoeyB]

You know you're a shit team - when the Lady Lynx won't play you cause losing to you would hurt their reputation as a semi professional women's team.

[khso11]

bennett for osario?

you're blessed, you wouldn't want to watch, its ridiculous

[West220Side]

You mean the one? One person said "relax'.

EDIT: Dude, we know what you're saying. But no one was suggesting one goal was acceptable, just stating a mathematical fact.

isn't it hard for you to argue pointlessly with two people at the same time? stick with DoubleUp because there's no way i'm getting involved in a war of words with you over something so pointless. you can go back to your passive aggressive comments towards him where you question his intelligence. if you decide to reply to this, that's your right, but i wont be replying again. i'm not getting involved.

everyone on the twitter update on the TFC website were saying the same thing, i echo the sentiment, and deep down i knew we weren't going to be scoring that goal anytime soon.

[FluSH]

Hearing MTL supporters chanting... It's torture... A slow twisting knife inside of me.

[DoubleUp]

I bow before your mighty genius. How we do not all see it is a sad statement on the cognitive function of middle-aged men. TFC isn't losing because you're "right" about the role of an anchor. We're losing because we didn't play a defensive midfielder in the first half worth a shit, we've lost every second ball, we've been outworked all night and we've missed the few chances we've had.

As to your obvious intellectual prowess, well, that's just your burden, I guess.

I'm done with you.

[__wowza]

i wont be replying again. i'm not getting involved.

same, i'm not trying to pick a fight i just wanted to play devils advocate. we're not mocking the team, or the supporters, i think everyone is just letting off some steam after such a shitty outing.

[jloome]

I'm done with you.

Oh however will I cope.

[T-boy]

How long left in the game?

Calling out two people behaving like reactionary dicks towards everyone else posting isn't particularly, hard, no. Bye bye now.

[khso11]

How long left in the game?

79' now

[Eastend]

How long left in the game?

Too long for my heart......12 plus at least 5-7 injury

[FluSH]

Did Nelsen and the team get the memo? There is only one team... Actually make that two teams... Two teams that we can not absolutely accept defeat...


Montreal and Columbus.

I hate to say it but they have been fantastic the full match.

[West220Side]

bostock trying some of those kansas city skydome moves.
refs not going for it.

He took them lightly, they played their starting midfield, we got crushed. Pretty bad call; I wonder if he wears it in the presser .

[khso11]

wow, unlucky, how did bennett not get that?

Well that's the thing, he should probably contribute something. Haven't seen it as of yet, looks like a Champaign footballer

[__wowza]

that's gonna be a real test for him, $20 says he deflects it to an injury excuse.
but again.. what're you gonna do, bring on o'dea when you were trailing 3 goals?
