TFC vs DC United - Saturday, July 5 at 7PM EST

[vince93]

NEW YORK — Major League Soccer’s independent review panel has taken back the fine and one-game suspension it placed on Toronto FC forward Luke Moore earlier this week.Moore was issued a red card and was ejected in the 29th minute of TFC’s 1-1 draw against the Chicago Fire on Wednesday. He collided with Fire midfielder Chris Ritter, appearing to elbow Ritter in the right temple.Ritter temporarily left the game but was back within three minutes with his head bandaged. Toronto played the final hour with 10 men.TFC submitted an appeal for review of the play, and the appeal was unanimously upheld Friday.Toronto FC hosts D.C. United on Saturday.

Whether he starts or comes on as a sub, I hope Bradley gets one of the biggest ovations ever to be heard at BMO....

[jloome]

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.

Poor Weideman

[notthesun]

Those projected lineups are a social marketing tool to get people talking about the game before it starts. They're purposefully inaccurate so that they generate discussion.

Kinda quiet in here for a gameday thread, isn't it? Ah well...

Conditions today at kick-off are gonna be sunny with a temperature of around 22-24 degrees. We may have a bit of a breeze by the lake. All said, pretty good conditions for a soccer match.

DC United is currently sitting tied for first place in the East with 25 points after 16 matches. They've got a Goal Differential of +5, have accumulated 1.56 Points Per Game, and are coming off a home loss to Seattle played a week ago. Their top goal scorer is Espindola (7) who also leads them in assists (8). Honestly, if we can grab a win from DC today it would do us wonders. Obviously a win against any Eastern team that's higher in the standings is something to strive for, but we could definitely use the points after the Moore situation that screwed us on Wednesday.

Should be a great day for a win.

[molenshtain]

Espindola is injured, ruthlessly tackled in the first minute of their game against Montreal by Felipe right before the break.

I think we'll win today. D.C. will find it hard to score without him and I see Defoe creating a lot against two 30+ cb's.

I don't think tehy have gotten a single 'projection' right .. it's pretty hilarious

I'm almost sure it is intentional.

Whether he starts or comes on as a sub, I hope Bradley gets one of the biggest ovations ever to be heard at BMO....

I hope Bradley gets cheered for being Bradley, but why would he get one of the biggest ovations in BMO history? For playing in the WC for the United States and not winning it? It's not even like he had a particularly good tournament.

If by some stroke of luck Cesar wins the WC and actually comes back to Toronto, then give him an ovation for the accomplishment.

[Shakes McQueen]

TSN.ca is saying Bradley is expected to be "in the lineup" today. I'll be shocked if he plays though. Dude needs at least one match to rest and adjust.

[mowe]

I'm certain Nelson will rest Bradley. After this game we have a week off then it's games Sat-Wed-Sat-Wed-Sat-Wed-Sun. We need him for that stretch.

[jabbronies]

No offence to Bradley, but he's not the best person to say wether he is match fit or not.

That guy could have no legs and no arms are still think he is match fit.

[OgtheDim]

Armless Black Knight vs. Caldwell


hmmmmm...

[portu]

I really don't see the point of resting Bradley for this game, if the US had won Bradley would have gone the 90 today.

I say play him and rest him Wednesday. This is a MASSIVE game in the playoff picture.

[flamehawk]

I am hoping that Costa Rica scores before the end of the 90 so I can leave for the TFC game

Starting XI: Bendik, Bloom, Caldwell, Hagglund, Morrow, Jackson, Bradley, Warner, Orr, Moore, Defoe

Bench: Konopka, Henry, Bekker, Osorio, DeRo, Lovitz, Oduro

Hagglund over Henry again, Bradley starts, missing another winger in midfield. Interesting.

[mowe]

Oso and Oduro dropped

4-5-1? with Moore on the wing? that or it's bloom at RM again, which would be awful.

[portu]

Maybe Warner at LM and Orr at CM like versus Kansas?

[notthesun]

I'm surprised Oduro has been dropped. Really been appreciating his speed on the wings.

[ag futbol]

Midfield rotation isn't a bad thing. I would say Osorio and Oduro are being rested more than anything else.

[molenshtain]

sure, It would just make more sense to rest them next week against a shit Houston team rather than against a good D.C. team.

[SirBobSaget]

Warner played wing on his debut so guessing will be same today
