Rapids just scored less than 2 minutes in against FCD. And what's with them starting a game at 5pm on a friday? The crowd is very few and far between at this point.

Unimas demands. Stadium looks like a Chivas game.
Oh, and the link here has no commentary, which beats the guys who do the English language stuff on Friday nights.

I'm actually watching it in Portuguese from a Brazilian stream. It's pretty neat to see them hyping up the Toronto PanAms, whoe knew that there are only 91 days left!Originally Posted by OgtheDim

wow...colorado just scored their 3rd in the 70' min.
might as well throw any and all predictions for this weekend out the window!
This league is so roller coaster. That having been said, based on that performance and what I've seen of Dallas so far, we should have a shot against them.
I concur. Seeing how a team that hadn't even scored a goal this season, and then suddenly scores 4 goals against one of the top teams in the entire league in one game, I would say that next week's game is a guaranteed win!!!!!
I would say nothing is every guaranteed in this league -- especially if you're TFC.
Never would have guessed that result away for rapids.
And bekker still sucks
A shot at a result is not the same as a guarantee.
Every team is in flux right now, with the possible exception of Vancouver.
Fourth goal for Colorado top notch and yes Bekker is awful. I don't think He is even good enough for our USL team.
Bekker has some (soon to be wasted) talent. He does some stuff well but doesn't work defensively or attack space despite wanting to play an advanced role.
Reminds me of Defoe and Sutherland today getting destroyed at home. Everyone will talk about that volley last week, but the guy is a useless tit unless everything is put on a platter for him. No defensive work, minimal work off the ball.... Not a team player at all.
Now of course defoe is 1000x the player Bekker is but his unwillingness to play a complete game still bothers me to no end.
You can build a team around Defoe though, because his finishing is elite. Bekker isn't that good at anything to be a consistent starter.
13 minutes in for Columbus and NE.
I can't remember a time that I've been so interested in pretty much every MLS game that's on the schedule. Even without TFC in action, there's no shortage of interesting plot lines and I think it's good to see that other teams make mistakes too (though maybe not as well as TFC makes mistakes)
Not really an inspiring first half, though the wind is absolutely howling there so it's been choppy play.
Gonna now tune in to the first half of Philly and NYCFC.
I'm questioning if that is true. His unwillingness to defend or impact the game in any other way to me puts him in category of high priced specialist rather than center piece. He's not adaptable, therefore you need others who are.
Sutherland was on the counter today and he had an acre of space to run into if he was willing to bust his gut to make a run playing out on the right in a 4-3-3. Might have scored... Instead just jogged casually with the look of "why the fuck am I back here defending and not floating in the middle waiting for the ball on a platter?"
I suppose if you're a meddling team with no hope you wouldn't say no to a guy who can bag half a chance on any given day. But I question how far he'll take a team where the opposition will tactically adjust to take out your best option and he won't offer much else.

Skysports dudes as against the Philly in house team.
David Villa showing his class and tying it up for NYC.
There's a very good chance that he could be just as successful as Keane in MLS.
Philly is reactive.
NYCFC's defence is slow.
Villa is soooo classy compared to the rest of these guys. That and Edu at the back is like Frings at the back....waste of a DP.
A Montreal win tonight would put us bottom of the league.
started from the bottom now we're...well, we're still there.
SKC commentators make me cringe.
And after being hailed as the best keeper in MLS, Hamid spills an easy one and gives away 2 points.
Arguably the best defender so far this year, Opara, just got stretchered off in the 80th minute. Something wrong with his left knee/leg.
Not sure if I like avaya stadium. The freeway at the one open end is a real downer and the luxury boxes at field level? Never let a bigger price tag get in your way of buying a worse view than the grand stands, lol. It does have seats in the corners at the one end though ... Props for that.
Thats not a freeway ... its FREAKING SAN JOSE AIRPORT. guess they found the cheapest piece of land in the bay area they could
Land around airports is not cheap. It's the opposite, actually. It's weird that they did that, most urban planners would not want to see that, and San Jose has problems. It's kind of the "rust belt" of Silicon Valley, all the big makers of hardware, eg HP, are there, but the newer, hipper software companies are all half an hour away in Palo Alto/Cupertino/Mountain View, or in SF itself.
Here is a good website on the current conventional wisdom of what to do around airports

Personally I am keen to go to that stadium (I am a bit of an aviation nut).
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
“Years have gone by and I’ve 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 don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
I feel like the league has so much creative attacking talent and on the flip side poor defending. Villa, Kaka, Dempsey, Altidore, Giovinco etc etc all attacking players. The team that gets it right with an elite back 4 will do well.
^That Philly extra time winner should not have counted. Casey got away with murder there.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
I don't know the goalie was diving into him, I dont think he makes a recovery either way, but yes there was a little bit of an insurance nudge to make it a certainty.
We're also 1 win away from 4th so... Mah.
