The game is likely blacked out so it will be 48 hours before it's available. However, if it's not blacked out (or you have Zen mate or a similar VPN) you should be able to watch it immediately.

The MLS live page hides the scores but you'll have to be careful to avoid the MLS home page.

What time is the game today? TFC website says 5:00pm but the Rogers TV schedule says 4:00 pm. Just wondering if the clocks changing has one or the other screwed up.

The game is on Sportsnet One, which should not be blacked out from MLS live. I've gone onto the site and it says that it is available. The next blacked out game is next week's Vancouver game which is carried on TSN nationally.

GAME DAY

For those not enamoured with Jerry Dobson, this is an ESPN game. For those also not enamored with Taylor Twellman, there will likely be a stream for Sky or Eurosport running around somewhere.

12 Degrees in New York today with no rain, mostly sunshine.

My guess is Vanney wants to keep the same midfield three, I doubt we see Osorio move up. I would guess it's either Delgado or Babouli that starts at LW now. Delgado probably has the edge but it depends on whether Vanney thinks he can play as well on the left as he can on the right.

Im betting on Cheyrou with Oso playing up. Really need ball control on this tiny pitch.

This.

Like Stress said, install chrome and the free Zenmate VPN extension for Google Chrome.

That way you can watch even if its "blacked out".

Someone already mentioned that this game isn't blacked out on MLS live anyway though, so you can stream the game live on this one without Zenmate VPN.

Never heard of Zenmate, is it better than Hola?

**JoesphNdo** · 03-13-2016, 12:21 PM

Thanks for the MLS live replies guys, much appreciated

Haven't tried any other VPN's since this one is working great for me. Last year I turned it off after the game loaded up because it seemed like my download speed would lack at times. Not sure if MLS Live changed anything with regards to their video player this year that would prevent me from doing that. I did notice last game that the Chromecast works waayyyy better than it did last year. I streamed it in HD to my tv with Chromecast.

How is Hola working for you?

Do you really think possession is an indicator of who played better?

NO—makes too much sense.

Mods, do something!

Nothing wrong TT, says it how he sees it !!

**DOMIN8R** · 03-13-2016, 01:05 PM

To be fair, I had to watch last week's game twice to appreciate how well TFC played. The formation and tactics were right. We played to pressure and bend in our third - not keep possession for long spells. A couple of player errors - par for the course. But we played well.

I use Blockless and changed the DNS settings on my Xbox One for stuff like Netflix, Hulu , WWE network etc and only really use Hola for a couple of sites (I prefer the British version of the BBC's website for news) It does the job, no complaints

Hmm... I probably would have kept Osorio in the midfield three myself.

No Benoit, wtf is going on

He still might be. Wouldn't rule out that it's Delgado occupying Lovitz spot.

I think Vanney thinks those three are going to be his definitive midfield three this year. They need to gel together over this 8 game stretch. No reason to switch that up when you don't have to.

**OgtheDim** · 03-13-2016, 03:23 PM

And New York busts out the 3-2-2-2-1

The first thing I thought when I saw the NYCFC formation graphic was that it was a 5-4-1.

Legend.

Viera is either naive or a genius or naively thinks he's a genius.

**noimpactinmtl** · 03-13-2016, 03:49 PM

Must think he's the next coming of Herbert Chapman.

**molenshtain** · 03-13-2016, 03:54 PM

Is this a National TV game in the states?

Who will be doing the defending? this looks more like the lineup you put out if you're down 3-0.
