Oh and just cause there's enough pessimism around here....I'm gonna predict Gilberto shows his worth on Saturday aiding us in a 2-2 draw.
No I mean Reyes, I understand he was a pretty good winger in his day.
Don't make it rain railings! (2009).
This has all the potential to be a real shitshow. Hoping to see some effort to tactically contain Columbus even if it is not enough to win the game.
I just got an alert from my Score Mobile app saying Defoe is definitely out for this Saturday. I can't find a link anywhere online, but I'm sure the news will be flowing soon enough.
Ya I got it to - and promptly vomited in my mouth...
Everyone asked me "What's your biggest worry going into the season?" and my answer was always "Defoe getting hurt."
I know Bradley is a bigger cog in the engine - but there's no worry there as the last time he got an MRI, he got out and told the technician the problems with the machine, the man is tougher than Chuck Norris!
Carts....
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
Hey....people...Gilberto is no Chad Barrett.
And Bradley is no Terry Dunfield.
We will be competetive. Likely to win? No. But this is more then a one person team.
Gilberto is still not match fit
Bradley is coming off a mid week game vs Mexico
Many of our players are either injured, or not match fit yet
Years have gone by and Ive finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: A pretty move, for the love of God.
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

Based on all the anticipated omissions from the lineup, I would go with this on Saturday...
--------------------Cesar---------------------
Orr------Hagglund------Agboss-----Morrow
Jackson----Bradley----Bekker----------Rey
-----------Gilberto-------DeRo--------------
I don't see Agboss sliding into that role.. More likely that Morrow or Orr shift over to the middle.
--------------------Cesar---------------------
Orr------Hagglund------Morrow-----Bloom
Jackson----Bradley----Bekker----------Rey
-----------Gilberto-------DeRo--------------
With Defoe out and Bradley overtravelled and probably feeling it from midweek, I would really hope we can stay compact at the back and squeeze out a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. Getting a win against a 3-0-0 Columbus squad being led by Higuain who has just wrecked us in the past is definitely a faint, faint, faint outside hope.
Richter played a little CB in the preseason. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see on the pitch this weekend.
Caldwell has been suspended 1 game... Hopefully Henry is available.
Not sure what i would do if Henry is available: play Hagglund with Henry or move Morrow into the middle and play Morgan on the outside
Morgan dealing with a hip injury right now.
Looks like TFC have been hit with an injury bug! Hopefully they keep this game close not embarrassed themselves like they did in Salt Lake.
------------Cesar
Bloom-Orr-Haglund-Morrow
Jackson-Bradley-Hall-Rey
---De Rosario-Gilberto
I don't even know if TFC is going to be able to have a full bench

Is Jackson back from suspension this game? To me, we should flood the midfield and do our best to keep the ball away from columbus with our technical players (Rey, jackson, Issey, Bradley). Just my thoughts.
One thing is for sure. Football gods hate TFC. Why can't we just be allowed to be happy?? god damn it. Confirmed and potentially out: Defoe, Caldwell, Osorio, Henry, Cesar, Bradley.
Ok, we have this above, and now most of city council & Rob Ford AGREE on an issue (food trucks)...
The APOCALYPSE IS NOW...!!!
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
It may be no long-term indicator, as the Crew are cohesive and tough and we're lacking depth and starters, but it will be interesting to see if we adapt at all tactically this week to having Higuain floating between the midfield and defence.
Great contacts notwithstanding, the jury is still out on Nelsen's 442 high-pressure counterattack. Salt Lake pressured us in our own end, but actually sat their defenders back past the halway toward their own end, so that even if we did get a break it would be difficult to use speed to get behind them. They only got caught too high a couple of times, and it looked like they knew exactly what was coming.
I'm not a fan of this whole "The refs missed a call so we'll make it up for them" thing. At some point, teams are going to start lobbying. Heck fans, are doing it on mlssoccer.com already, with Borg egging them on with his over the top "Ref Fubars of the Week" videos.
Don't worry....Rob Ford voted against congratulating Olympic athletes and Paralympians...and then his Chief of Staff saw twitter and suggested he say he made a mistake.
i.e. The world is back to normal.
Honestly one of the most mind-boggling things I've ever seen from a TFC head coach.
And we've seen our fair share of mind boggling things from past TFC coaches.
Wtf is wrong with this team and injuries. We went through our entire preseason "injured" and continue to have half the team injured today. So much for that "world class" fitness coach we hired.
Yikes. I'll take a 0-0 draw, thanks.
I'm not giving up hope. If Nelsen can block out Higauin and Anor, Cbus won't be all that great.
You forget when Carver and Cummins benched Dichio for Chad Barret?
So Caldwell is suspended.
Defoe maybe out. Osorio might be out
2-0 Columbus.
Why does MLS have Refs?, they suck and the Discipline Committee makes them all but needless.
