the first row link won't let me watch unless I disable ad block. Nope.
Vanney very frank at halftime. Good for him.
I'm on a dodgy feed. Looked at it on MLS Live - your right.
I'm on it and have no problem.

Oooo.....Manning.
"where there is a will, there is a way." .... some smart dude.
Now I remember why I can't stand TSN's #1 team. Its all narrative and discussion points - TALK ABOUT THE PLAY GOING ON IN FRONT OF YOU!!!!!!
Bradley,.....I'm just not a fan
Defense is been great this year, wing play and offensive midfield.... Meh!
Not the most exciting of games. Toronto doesn't seem interested in getting very creative or applying much pressure.
Are we playing to win 1-0, where the f is the attacking mid, 6man d all game (bunker down after the 1st min), one mistake and it's a draw
attendance was just announced at like 16,500. I can't believe DC still gets such low turn out with what people are getting to see in MLS these days.
Jozy and Altidore hardly doing any work on defence, forcing midfield to run around trying to do too much

In this hoofball fest, he has shown quality, trying to establish possession.
They are in a holding pattern until they get a new stadium. Otherwise, they are putting little money into the team and the draw in the stands reflects that.

Wait.. we have a Jozy AND an Altidore?

That will do. Nothing flashy but some needed road points.
Not very fun to watch, but nice to pick up another win.

They need to bring back the segments where some recently graduated journalism student from Ryerson asks the players what their favourite colour is!

They did what they had to do. Nice to have a road win.

No joke, I actually fell asleep on the couch it was so dull.
But three more points on the opening road slog? I'll take it, thanks you very much.

Sloppy. To be fair. DC defenders read the TFC movement and did a good job intercepting forward passes. But Lack of thrust from Bradley and Johnson who were concentrating on protecting the back 4 hurt the attack a lot. And Delgado and Osorio just aren't dangerous enough on the flanks.
Smash and grab, but on 8 pts now. Vanney not getting fired anytime soon. lol

Well doneTFC!!!
A real solid defensive display from the lads today. However we were pretty toothless going forward if truth be told. Still 3 points in the bag and a game closer to the end of this road trip. Same again next week against the poutine eaters will do me...
Tedious 94 minutes of forgettable football. 3 points!
Lack of offense again, but a gritty road win. Take em in all shapes and sizes. Good clean sheet.
DCU doing what Olson has done since he started. Get the ball out wide and hope something happens. Williams for Perquis made a lot of sense as Perquis is our best defender in the air.
Altidore did a lot of hold off play there. Not so many flicks as last week. Just brute force and passing and another assist. I'm not sure why people were thinking he wasn't coming back - he kept making tackles in behind their mids. As did Seba actually. Those two are coming back a lot more compared to last season.
I thought Delgado had the worst game of the lot (well apart from Chapman who badly needs minutes)
But, Clint.........WOOF. This is what a really good MLS keeper is like.
Good to see Osorio moved to the point of midfield in the second half (until Chapman came on) but both of those guys are far too timid in front of goal.
DC has no creativity, I thought we didn't play too well but we never looked to be in serious danger.
Man, D.C. sucks. Did next to nothing with all that possession. How the hell did Vancouver let these guys score 4 on them??
Bradley, Johnson, Irwin and Beitashour were all great today. Moor is the CB we've been looking for since 2007. Also, Altidore's muggings-to-fouls earned ratio is insane... it's like refs are okay with him taking a pounding because he's big and looks strong.
Anyways, textbook road win. The defense has clearly improved a ton. Need to figure out how to get the offense clicking without disrupting ourselves defensively, but I'll wait for the home games before judging too much on that. Big 3 points today.
3 points in the bag. I'll take it.
You have to give credit to Irwin for that big 1st half save or this game would have ended in draw.
