If Gio had scored that RIDICULOUS chip (left foot, full stride, 35-40 yards from goal) it may have been the best goal I'd ever seen in MLS. Ibra worthy. Holy crap is he good.
Less good: it's year 9. Can we stop with the "hey it's the 80th minute, let's stop trying to have possession or put the other team under pressure and just let them run at us until the ref blows the whistle to make them stop" strategy?
Come on...there are valid criticisms here. No one's saying we didn't deserve to win...just that we should've won by moreOriginally Posted by Jack
last time i checked they don t give out points for how pretty we play...3 points baby.
what our former fearless leader said
I'll take 9 points. It's a bit of a minor miracle honestly considering some of the defending and decisions from Vanney I've seen so far.
Haven't seen any of the game but if we did get away with a bad call, I say it's good karma considering what happened to us vs. Columbus and Salt Lake.
They did that once it reached 3 minutes into extra time but yeah.
strolling down on this thread i thought we lost....come on people
Is he no longer a leader or no longer fearless?
The more I see of Altidore, the more I think he is the best forward in MLS.
Jozy is a ball-winning load, who can turn with grace and speed, and he has a lot of smarts.
It pains me to say it, but it's Bradley who looks nothing like a DP, let alone a $6M/year player.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
is there a game this season where we've lost the battle in the middle of the field (exlcuding Columbus for obvious reason)?
Agreed. Now if Bradley can manage to play at the same level for us as he does for the USMNT, it would be a different story.
So now we move up to 5th place in the East with 1-2 games in hand on the clubs ahead of us. After the start we had to this road trip, I'll gladly take that heading into the home opener.

Bradley's wandering combined with Cheyrou's reduced speed at this point in his career makes it tough. These guys look great when we have the ball but overall not enough ground is being covered.
Jackson has been a huge asset because he will chase people all over the place
At the very latest it was when Gio came out in the 88th minute, but even before then it looked like our midfield vanished. Balls would go upfield for Jozy and or Gio and there wouldn't be any 2nd wave support behind them, everyone else was sitting back. It makes me cringe, the whole the best defense is a good offense thing.
No matter what happened, I just want to congratulate everyone with awesome 3 points on the road)))
Huge win. Osorio should be starting for Findley imo.
You never know what you will get with an untested backup goalkeeper. It could have been a lot worse.
Chickenshit followerIs he no longer a leader or no longer fearless?
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
He isn't much better. We should be looking at an upgrade there and on defence. And in goal. Shouldn't forget that.
But really, we're coming around. There's more to like than not so far. Not often have we been able to say that.
Osorio hasn't shown all that much since his first season. Not sure who I prefer at this point.
Jozy has been a beast up there and is a huge handful for defenders. But I dunno man, I think Bradley is good. He eats up space, joins in the build ups, breaks up a lot of plays, makes mostly smart passes and seems to be developing an understanding with Gio and Cheyrou. A lot of our forward movement passes through him or starts with him.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
i agree...bradley has been ok room for improvement... i think benoit has been much better..

Bradley has been box to box like everyone on here was saying he should be. The amount of times he comes back to the dline to get the ball has been reduced. This is a good thing.
On another note, did anybody else notice Perquis played right and Hagglund left today? Not all the time, but they switched a lot. And Hagglund did a few great passes through. Young lad needs a day off but progress.
Giovinco for president!!!!!
Finally a DP we can count on.
I think we can count on all 3. Everyone bringing something to the team. Not all based on goals & assists. Add in Cheryou and Perquis as well as the FC Dallas version of Jackson and we're looking alright. Yeah we got some good holes but I am hopeful we can plug a few of them with trades mid season. One thing about Bez is that he didn't look gun shy last year and his trades were alright.Giovinco for president!!!!!
Finally a DP we can count on.
I am not seeing it this in 2015. Hope you are right.

I have no doubt he is the best player in the league.
If BMO home opener was not sold out, I bet it is now after Seba's goal.
The new price points are a joke.
It's been a weird few weeks for sure. We started out great only to see everything fall apart and then we won the last two games. If somebody had said 10 weeks ago that we'd end up with 9 points in fifth place I'd take it in a heartbeat. Now, let's win next week and get this season off to a proper start.
