Never understood that.

Never understood that.
Is it normal to be nervous? I haven't been this nervous for TFC game since CCL semi-final game.
It was wet last week. Regardless of te drainage water + plastic = extremely slippery combo. It took a lot of the skill out of the game and made it more direct.
Wouldn't that work in our favour then? I wouldn't want seattle playing with the ball on the ground too much. I think physically we match up to them much better.
C'mon Toronto... I have a six page essay due Monday... So hopefully i'm not procrastinating for nothing. Get the win, boys!
Confirmed that this game is blacked out on MLS Live, as expected.

I couldn't agree with you more and have predicted a 3-0 loss for us today. With that said, your view will have a hard time being heard on the first game of the season, when untested euphoria and the thrill of hope are ruling the day. Much the same will be true next week since it's our home opener, but reality has a way of biting fast... and hard.
New Rule: No negativity on game day
Thx in advance
Go through the thread again and you'll see most of us who support this team are expecting a loss. Reality will be what it will be.
But nobody supports a team for the sake of experimenting with figuring out results. You don't support a team for reality, for objective reasoning.
There is nothing scientific or rationale about supporting a sports team.
You support a team for hope and the occasional euphoric experience like Dichio scoring that goal to tie that game at the end of season 1, or the beating of LAG in the CCL, or the goal by Weideman last season in the rain.
As for today, although I agree with you as to the likely outcome (I'm suggesting a 3-2 loss), for the first time in a LONG time there is hope for TFC. And that hope is seeping out to people beyond the few thousand supporters who have been around the last few years. And that hope is based on some building blocks that we have not had before. Today may go all pear shaped, but there is a solid foundation that can lead to success this season. And that's more then we can say about any other TFC team heading into its first game.
I'll take that hope.

I'm predicting a big game for Dero... at least a goal... maybe two.
Is he playing?
He is the best MLSer we have.
time is a flat circle.
For future reference, and not that I'd endorse it or anything, but almost any football game on earth can be found on one of the streams here:

anybody suffering nerves or negativity should just go over to the Yorkies blog. you'll be smiling and laughing in no time. love those guys for the calming effect of their humourous look at TFC life.
A great HBO series.
It's ok to be nervous...it means you care.
Havin' a pissup @ a friend's place, playing FIFA and drinking rum n' cokes. Patiently waiting for 4:30pm to roll around.
TFC!
I'm really worried that Defoe, in his desire to show the England Coach that he should play in the WC, pushed his friend Nelsen to include him in the starting line-up. He has no experience playing on turf and I'm scared that he's going to snap his ACL thinking it reacts just like grass. The ghosts of Frings, injured last time we were in Seattle, haunts me still.
Routinely very funny.

lets do this!
Will be interesting to see how Bloom fares. Basically his first action of the year. Hopefully he can combine well with Jackson, and Rey when he switches flanks.
Almost a full squad. We have a shot at earning a result today.
Woke up bright and early for this. FINALLY!!! A little afraid of our backline today, but hopefully we can keep the ball going forward anyway
Bench: Bendik, Bekker, Morgan, Hagglund, Orr, Richter, Wiedeman.
Super weak bench. Hall being out and Farran not signed yet leaves us with essentially no genuine midfield options. Starting 11 needs to get it done.
Hmmmm...4 defenders on the bench.
compared to Vancouver's bench that is shameful lol. however that was essentially our starting lineup last year around this time lol.

Where is Boss and Hall...
There have been rumours about Boss recently so this doesnt look good.
He has a cap for the US and has ALL of the physical tools to dominant. Hes a man child... just has zero soccer IQ and does not come across as bright....
He was left out of the squad and didn't travel. Hall also didn't travel but that was due to injury.
I bet Hagglund gets a couple of minutes, just like Bekker & Welshman last year
hall is injured out with a hamstring for couple weeks. i agree about Boss, has all the raw tools but he just makes too many mistakes. he is only 22 but if he can't beat out Hagglund to get on the bench.. idk.
Women's curling on tsn... I wonder if we'll get bumped. The tim horton's crowd does matter most.
