A rookie coach can go either way. Kreis was a rookie at RSL when he built one of the best sides in history of the league. They sucked first year as well. That's the thing. You don't need experience in this league. There have been more than a few inexperienced coaches that have done well. Vanney might come good. In a year from now he might have the team playing really well. It doesn't look like it now, but this happens in the MLS.Originally Posted by Eastend
MLS is so hard to watch this season. The games are horrible.
especially after watching premiership all winter, then TFC puts out this. its a disgrace.
off topic: TSN can we stop with the fucking bmo running out of space commercials. Its the same fucking commercials over and over and over.
Well if that didn't change TFC would certainly have an argument they could just choose not to play in protest since it's an L anyway. But I still suspect there's a more reasonable explanation.
Kurtis Larson @KurtLarSUN 3m3 minutes ago Information about match delayed rules came from FC Dallas PR team. There's confusion, but that's what we were told.
Should an organization that just invested $100M, bet on a rookie manager ( chosen by Bez ), to be as good or better then other 23 coaches of the league?
less likely to be fired before the seasons over anyways
I realize that, but why not play with the east stand closed? Better than so many road games given how hard an away win is in this league. Theres a chance the side will be completely demoralized and well adrift of a playoff spot by the time the home opener arrives
Complete bombscare... Frightening how easily he was pulled out of position when he played at CB. I know for some he showed fire, but that can be as dangerous as it is positive
Thoughts
because season tickets had to be sold
“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.”

Sounds like even the teams don't know the rules in this league. lol
Because the south end and south west corner is also closed and off limits during the construction. Not just the east stand.
I would not bring him in to play CB. I think Ecks would fit in very well into Vanney's high tempo system. I don't think I'm being romantic for the past here, I think he'd be a great option at RB where I believe we are thin...and one with MLS experience.

looks like the game is going to continue

Game to restart - TFC not happy.
Good point. Athletic's San Names stadium comes to mind.
I doubt lil' Timmy BestBuychenko is going to fire his drinking buddy Vanney anytime soon.
But seriously, the team can be decent in attack. The back line is the real problem. If they were tighter the midfield and offensive players wouldn't have to worry about babysitting them or compensating for their bad play. The club just needs to admit our D is shit and go out and buy a high quality centerback and rightback ASAP.
If I had my way, I would also get rid of some of this mound of central mids we have (like warner) and get some wingers whom can attack and defend.
So sell them 3-4 games short of a full season.
Alternatively they could have started construction earlier and balanced the away schedule with the end of last season. Even playing at Lamport or god forbid the turf at the SkyDome would have been preferable to this schedule
p.s. they just announced in the Vancouver broadcast the TFC/Dallas game will be resuming tonight
Games Cancelled After Commencement of Play. If a Game is cancelled prior to the completion of the first half of play, regardless of the score, the score shall not be recorded and the Game will be treated as if it were cancelled before it started. If a Game is cancelled subsequent to the completion of the first half of play and a Team leads in goals or the score is tied at halftime, the score and all Game statistics will stand as final.
Surely surmountable with some advanced planning
Yeah, but the unpublished (and constantly changing) rulebook is what governs in MLS...
M e r c y
Maybe they're trying to continue the game so it gets to half then cancel it with the 3-0 score line.
Score stands as final and no need to reschedule the game starting at 0-0.
and apparently more lightning lulz

Jesus, you'd think they would have someone there who can understand weather radar and lightning maps. 45 min or so this shit will be clear, why all the confusion.... http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar...t=NCR&loop=yes
Pathetic that it's taking this long
Tfc had the same problem when Vancouver played in Toronto and we were down a goal. I was at that game the pitch was unplayable and the lightning was non stop. We rescheduled and the game started at 0 0
Yes it would be clear of lighting but the pitch is unplayable
Not just about the weather. Its about the aftermath. Is the pitch in playbable condition? If the ball cant roll you cant play.
hope it restarts and we lose by 10

Toronto will have a slight advantage considering the players have been wearing galoshes since the game started.
