Matchday 9: Toronto at Sporting Kansas City, 23 May 830pm

[Ultra & Proud]

I may take a ton of flak for this, but I would love to see games more spread out.

I really like MLS, and would love to see games on Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Wed

Even if it meant having to make it out to the park a couple of Mondays

This is the opposite of what they are doing with the new TV deal. This hurts viewership they believe. They want matches at set times so people will know when matches are on. They did some poll in the U.S and apparently a whole lot of folks didn't even know when matches were on. I have to check my calendar regularly now to know exactly what's doing and making matches on a few standard days a week with standard start times would help that out a lot.

Will be there, hopefully it doesn't end up like last year.

Depleted SKC back line and their best podcast crew out to lunch about us, it's a trap game for them.
Gilberto will likely score, and ill take a 5$ bet that he does with any and everybody. (As long as he plays!)

Sure, for the hell of it, Ill take that action

[barticusz]

Projected line based on Nelly's last interview.

Bloom - Caldwell - Hagglund - Morrow
Warner - Bekker - Orr - Rey
Gilberto - Defoe

[maninb]

SERIOUSLY if we can't beat this team who is missing their TOP 4 PLAYERS, and 5 starters then we DESERVE TO BE SHYTE ON!!!

[Detroit_TFC]

I hear Vermes been itching to field an experimental 0-9-1 squad for like forever.

[backbeat]

i don't think this game will be a given by any means.

SKC hasn't won in 2 games and they'll be gunning it at home so as not to be on a 3 game losing streak - a result would be great imo.

[trane]

I will put down 20 on Gilberto scoring this game.

[lobo]

Sure, for the hell of it, Ill take that action

what??? walmsy, you suck. i hope you lose that bet.

as a matter of principle, you deserve to lose that bet.

[Walms]

what??? walmsy, you suck. i hope you lose that bet.

I hope he dose score, Ill be really happy if he dose....& if he doesn't ill get a free beer, so I've put myself in a Win-Win situation!

We're missing 2 of our top 3...but, yeah we still should win this game.

[OgtheDim]

I know you like Jackson, but he's not that good.

[ryan]

Anyone going to Joe's to watch this one?

[LFC8]

I know you like Jackson, but he's not that good.

How he didn't get into Brazil's world cup squad is just beyond words. lol

[Marc"2L"]

Sure, for the hell of it, Ill take that action

Done* ill pm you if he doesn't right after the game, if he does, ill give it a few days before shaming as means of collecting currency or beer.

*figuratively of course for the fine folks at the CRA/OLG/FBI reading this

Last 20 minutes about TFC, but don't waste your time, I want mine back.

[KGH]

Current line has TFC has fairly big underdogs:

KC -138
Draw - +260
TFC - +375

For perspective DC is +300 against NE and Montreal is +340 against Colorado

[Areathrasher]

Those are very good odds.

I'm always wary of betting on my own team but that looks very tempting.

[KGH]

For anyone else who is into betting some interesting bets and odds:

1) Gilberto scoring first / at all: +1000 / +350
2) Defoe scoring first / at all: +650 / +225
3) Bieler scoring first / at all: +350 / +120

And some fun ones:
4) Issey scoring first / at all: +2000 / +750
5) Jackson scoring first / at all: +2800 / +1200
6) Bradley scoring first / at all: +2800 / +1200
7) Gale scoring first / at all: +5000 / +2000
8) Zusi scoring first / at all: +800 / +275

Imagine eh, FBI comes after us for one of those wired blue Canadian bills lol.

and as you mentioned above, he has to start for this to be valid... I hope I lose!

[jloome]

I'm not a betting guy but those odds are crazy given SKC's situation. Those are "past performance" odds; they can't possibly be taking into account Zusi and Besler being gone, Rosell being injured. I think Collin is the only one back and he's probably not 100%.

Man, the odds makers don't think much of us.

What source is that? I don't place too many bets but was considering it for this game.

TFC keeps getting destroyed at Sporting Park. I don't think TFC has gotten a point since 2009 in KC.

And if SKC is able to keep possession to ease the pressure on their defenders, who knows.

Obviously the book-makers don't pay attention to changes either,

Issey isn't in this game, Bradley and Zusi are going to Brazil.

funny

[Donald Duck]

I got to make my bet for this game man. Toronto winning in half time + full time is +800

[Ultra & Proud]

I think they do and just take advantage of the degenerate gambling community that bets on everything and anything regardless of having any knowledge on the teams, league, or even sport.

Yeah I'm not that confident. Hoping for a point.
