TFC vs DC United - Saturday, July 5 at 7PM EST
So everyone still hung over from the Wednesday match? I didn't see a match thread so I created one. Looks like we got Gilberto and Moore out since I doubt the red card appeal seems to be working. Bradley says he is ready for Saturday. We could see a different formation maybe or they will throw DeRo in there against his old team for the first 60 min. Will be interesting game nevertheless. Too bad they changed the time from 4PM to 7PM because now I can't go in person.
Go REDS!!!
Lovitz and Bradley are both available for selection and i suspect we will see both tomorrow.
Bendik
Bloom - Hagglund - Caldwell - Morrow
Oduro - Warner - Bradley - Osorio
Defoe - Dero
I'm still gonna guess Bradley starts on the bench, although it wouldn't surprise me if he is in the eleven. With Gilberto and Moore out (how in the hell does the disciplinary committee not remove that suspension?) I would like to see Nelsen go 4-4-1-1 rather than two even strikers up top. DeRo doesn't have the speed to lead the line anymore. Play Osorio or DeRo in the pocket. Unless he decides to play Oduro up front, but I'm really liking him on the wing.

Nelsen implies Bradley has to work his way back to earn a place in the team. Says it twice in 3 minutes.
Also says Bradley insisted on coming back right away and training.
I know it's all about saying the right things but c'mon. It's like having a Victoria Secret model climb into bed with you and telling her she isn't getting anything until she buys you dinner and woos you. Not happening.Originally Posted by OgtheDim
Heres what I think will be played:
Bendik
Bloom-Hagglund-Caldwell-Morrow
Osorio-Warner-Bekker-Jackson
Oduro-Defoe
I think it will be Oduro and Defoe out front. Bradley sees time if we need him to help get 3 points otherwise I think he waits on the bench.
I say it is exactly like this, maybe with Warner playing a little behind the other 3 MIDs

Orr if healthy might be better option than Bekker? He did set Defoe up for a nice goal v NY and maybe with two targets running at DC backline we can see a few more killer passes. Obviously Bradley would be the better choice here but failing him 'earning' his spot back Orr may provide more than Bekker.
Can't wait to be back at BMO again! Hopefully we can play some reasonably attractive football so long as we can stay calm and not get carded to a crazy extent.
COME ON YOU REDS!
BTW if Jackson starts this game I will have a fit
he scored man relax....
on a free header... and if you watched the whole Chi game than you would have seen the amount of times that he wasted attacks
Not a free header, he had to get into a great position to make himself "free". And yes, he did not offensively play amazing, but he did have a goal, and played pretty solid defensively.
More goals than Gilberto
Oh please. He got into the 6 yard box and stood there while two defenders assumed each other were taking him. Whever he gets the ball near the area, players back off because they know he will do nothing with it and want to encourage him to shoot. Yes, he's good at defending but going forward, he's a liability.Not a free header, he had to get into a great position to make himself "free".

I think Orr and Warner are too similar which is why I think Bekker gets the nod to go forward and Warner to stay back.
I'd love to see Dero to start against DC and sub in Bradley in at the 60 minute mark.
I suspect. the above is close but my money is on henry starting.
I'd love to see
Bloom - Hagglund - Caldwell - Morrow
Osorio - Warner - DeRo- Jackson
--------Oduro - Defoe-------------
@SNGerryDobson: #TFC's Luke Moore red car rescinded by MLS.
beat me to it...why is the mls looking at his red car..
Glad to see the league making the right call on Moore. Now, let's make sure Stoica doesn't get to ref another game.
red card to moore is recinded,able to play tomorrow.

Hahaha didn't notice it till the second read.beat me to it...why is the mls looking at his red car..
Good to see but would love to know what punishment will be handed to the ref. He's had 3 of 6 red cards this season rescinded.
Well that is good news.
I am pissed that I have to miss this game. It should be a good wedding, but dammit!
Hopefully you are back in action next Saturday?
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
I think the Chicago defence is more responsible for letting Jackson go free there, but I guess your right - he had the mind to go into the area.
I'm still not a Jackson fan though. I'd prefer to see Oso and Oduro on the wings once we're at full strength.
Should be.
As for Jackson, he isn't a world beater, but he is good defensively and starting to put in the odd good cross.
I think that calling that goal dumb luck is excessive.
FWIW,
Now they are just trolling.
Moore starts as does Morrow. Bekker starting wouldn't surprise me.
That lineup is actually provided to them by TFC.... which actually makes a fair amount of sense, since no team is going to give out the ACTUAL starting lineup a day before a game.FWIW,
Now they are just trolling.

With Moore available he will start, which pushes oduro back into mid and osorio into the middle. The person who puts this out either picks names from a hat or intentionally puts out a strange lineup for clicks and conversation.
I don't think tehy have gotten a single 'projection' right .. it's pretty hilarious
