    Default Match Day 4 - Things to Do in Denver When You're Red- TFC @ Colorado Sat April 2 8 pm

    This game is on TSN.

    Away games are never easy in this league but if there was a game in this stretch where we should have higher expectations, its this one.

    Would expect us to take a bit more of an expansive approach to this game too. Means playing Gio on the left and Altidore top. Looking forward to this one.

    Hey Og, any recommendations for non-tfc mls games to watch from this season to increase my soccer intelligence? Also any pointers regarding what tactics etc. to watch out for in each game would be much appreciated!

    just watch any MLS game if you are bored.

    you can never tell which games will be most entertaining.

    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.”

    We should take 3 points this game. It will be another good test for our back line with Pappa and Doyle probing. Hopefully we can finally see the full team that we were expecting out there: Irwin, Morrow, Moor, Perquis, Beitashour, Bradley, Johnson, Osorio, Seba, Altidore, Endoh/Babouli

    What Yohan said for games.


    Tactics? Well LAG is playing what amounts to a 2-4-4, NYCFC is playing a 3-6-1. Seattle is trying to figure itself out post Martens. Vancouver might have to adjust out of its 4-2-3-1. CBus, Chicago, DCU and Colorado were unwatchable against each other - worst games I've seen in over 5 years. Portland is always fun because they interact so well. SJE is trying to do what CBus did last season an DCU the season before - pass it to the guy and hope. Orlando is like watching us the last few years - can score but that defence has issues. NER was boringly competent until yesterday when their defence imploded.

    In last nights session at Joe's things became more clear to me.

    1.This game is FAaaaaaar away and things could change for either team. Still looking forward to it.
    2. There is a couple Canada matches on Fri and Tues respectively which is awesome.
    3. That its Easter and Family expectations may arise. booooo. BUT a Good Friday nap ensures that ridonk kickoff time in Vancouver means a good long, Good Friday night!

    i watched condensed matches on MLS live, makes even the crappier teams palatable.

    And if your a TFC fan, you usually recognize at least one player from our history

    The SAME bug?? Sounds romantic

    hard to predict these early season games. Colorado is playing well.
    Hhhhhhhmmmmm I'll go 3-0 TFC.

    With it being the bye week, thought I would share this random fact, The General's first cousin and son of TFC's Director of Communications Jeff Bradley, Tyler is a freshman catcher at Furman.

    Jeff Bradley's a good writer, too. Wrote for Sports Illustrated if I recall correctly.

    MLS is producing a short highlight clip that'll get you caught up on all the games

    Early season and at altitude? Irwin and Moor will be used to it, so I'm not worried about the defence, but I imagine the office will suffer and Colorado's defence isn't bad. I'll say 1-0 TFC.

    I can't even about this game.

    Will Johnson on fire from facing Mexico twice in one week makes it 1- nil for the good guys.

    Argh, I meant to say *Offense*. I don't imagine that Vanney will use Johnson, Bradley, or Altidore as starters, they'll be on the bench. Actually, forget that last, Jozy will be injured.

    Hahaha THATS our, B! Alright the "glass half empty" prediction is done for this one. Nothing to do but follow the International break.

    I wonder if at this point Delgado takes Endo's spot.

    Looks like Kevin Doyle will be missing after suffering a nasty gash to the shin playing for Ireland yesterday, required surgery.

    If I could figure out how to post a picture on my iPad I would show the picture of the injury....it's pretty gross looking.

    Here's a link - picture is shown lower down in the article - probably better then copying the picture in here, which is kinda gross unless you are into ankle muscles and how they work.

    If he's not out for a month, I'd be very surprised.
