    Default Matchday 26: New England at Toronto, Fri 30 Aug, 7:00pm

    Is it wrong that I'm actually jealous of what Jay Heaps is doing in New England?

    Again, he's a cautionary take I guess, like Jason Kreis, that coaches get better too. They were awful his first year. He's got a team almost as young as ours but offensively waaay more talented.

    NE FO being patient with Heaps seemed to have paid off some dividends

    Bored, so here's a meaningless note. TFC has yet to win a home game during the CNE. CNE games: Overall record 0-4-3
    2007 0-2-0 Chivas and DC United
    2008 0-0-1 New England
    2009 0-0-0
    2010 0-1-1 NY, RSL
    2011 0-0-1 San Jose
    2012 0-1-0 KC

    I'd be surprised to see 3 points on Friday. New England is in a tight playoff race and unlike us they can score. I see a 1-1 tie or 2-1 NE win coming up.

    I was under the impression Agudelo had been transferred to Stoke - or does that not take effect until January??

    We deserve the three points !! (Just thought I would say it first, before the post match interview)

    2-1 TFC. Goals by Osorio and Caldwell.

    Based on that: Laba out for the season. 2.5 months for a broken toe?!?!

    Osorio back for tomorrow. Would be surprised if we get Urruti for longer then 30 minutes. We might get Braun and Weideman........ugh.

    Think Earnshaw and Weideman will start, Urruti in for 30 mins and Braun never sees the pitch.

    8 weeks plus sound right for a break.

    Maybe 3-4 weeks to mend it then few weeks rehab and fitness. (He won't be doing much cardio with a pot on will he)

    Man, listening to these pregame interviews makes me sick. They were saying the same shit toward the end of last season. What's different? Maybe TFC wont finish with 23 points, but it's the same shit. Man, TFC need A LOT OF CHANGES. But, we say the same thing year after year.

    I ask again what will really change?

    Crap, I forgot already that we don't have Laba

    No matter how badly we did, it was such a treat to watch him play. Pure brilliance.

    Will be nice to see Fagundez though, he is really awesome, and SUCH A NICE KID.
    WE DID IT!

    Am I missing something is there something wrong with Urruti, should we not be expecting this kid to finally bloody start, what the hell are they waiting for with this guy, start him already please, all the months of trying to sign him, we finally do and he has hardly seen the pitch in two games, and now going into his third game there still seems to be hesitation on starting him. They got him to start and play major minutes so hello guys let's see him play or is there something about him they are not telling us!

    He isn't match fit yet, he also has nobody to service him so not much point.

    Yeah its kind of pointless though, by the time he is match fit the season is over. I like how they are atleast protecting him from injury atleast.

    This goes to show that the summer transfer window in MLS is pointless if you are not brining in an MLS player or someone in really good condition. Frings would be an example of having a great start.

    Seeing as we're missing Laba and anyone who can score, I'm guessing TFC loses 1-0 on a goal from Fagundez in the 44th minute.

    Does any site archive these games? I don't get Sportsnet 1 and I won't be back home until after the game ends.
