    Until Gio's second goal, I was fully expecting Tobias time. Credit to them, this defense seems to know how to bend but not break.

    You know, I think I'm cautiously starting to believe...

    Can someone direct me, by PM or other, to where I can get a copy of the match (torrent, ?). I'm in Japan and missed it. Thanks in advance.

    Best thing is to sign up to MLS Live, it's pretty cheap and you get all the games.

    This. I have MLS Live. But when I travel abroad, I can't sign in. Unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion though.

    I used MLS Live to watch archived matches while I was living in Nepal. Download/run Hola extension on your browser and it works just fine.

    Thanks all. But I would like to download the match and watch during my next flight, as I won't have Internet access to stream during my flight. In short, I need to store the file on my laptop.



    Sorry to derail the glowing optimism of this thread.

    LOL. If somebody remembers how to tag a user...

    Wow, one of the best games I've ever seen from TFC. Especially considering the circumstances & expectations today. Fingers crossed they can keep up that style of play, most of the other performances were much more mixed. With a bit better finishing in both halfs, TFC could easily have scored a few more goals; good to see that the chances were at least being created.

    I hope the travelling supporters had/are having a good time in Montreal. Some of the locals might be a bit sour...

    God, Jason deVos, what a dipshit. Saying Montreal had a point with the two penalty pleas for Divier Drogba. In both cases, Droba leaned backward into the TFC defender, and then fell down when the defender moved away.

    Another thing: why the hell was the game blocked on MLS Live today? It was being broadcast on TSN 4. All the TSN 4 games this year were not blocked.

    Cmon guys. He's a season one season ticket holder that spent thousands and got scarred. It's not exactly hard to understand.

    I just watched the game (taped it), that game was outstanding across the board. I have to gve Vanney credit for that, Montreal were bottled up for long stretches.

    That was especially a great game for Will Johnson - he caused all kinds of problems out there. He has great positional sense, just sort of knows where to be, and arrives at the point of attack in ill humour. He's gotta be the least hyped CMNT stalwart we've ever had (I can remember how ezcited people were when we brought Kevin Harmse in!), kind of weird really.

    One of the few TFC games I can remember where I didn't want anyone to get subbed out because things were working so well. I can remember a time or two I didn't want subs for other reasons (cough, terrible bench, cough).

    I had the same thought. MTL had made all their subs yet we hadn't made a move yet. I was going player to player and couldn't pick who should come off.

    So Impact coach says we parked the bus...I didn't think we did. TFC did a good job of controlling the ball and not rushing it forward and we were solid when defending but I wouldn't say we parked the bus at all. When teams park the bus they do little offense and keep most of their team in their own half while the other team tries to break them down over and over. TFC did not do that.

    Yep glad I couldn't hear what bias Devos was saying down at Joe's. Worst is playing Vancouver.

    as for tagging it's in advanced settings @Auzzy.

    The stats don't agree with the Impact.

    I get the feeling that teams are just not used to this level of organization in defence. Its rare in MLS to see something this tight.

    On a side note:
    I didn't realise that MLS was publishing individual OPTA stats for each game that can be broken down per player. Worth a look around. E.g. Jozy did more then half his passes from the defensive side of midfield.

    If we parked the bus, it doesn't say much about their defensive coverage considering that we generated far more scoring chances than they did...

    And who cares if we played to protect our lead. It's not like we were hamming it up on the floor like Didier time wasting. If that's their big complaint they should try harder.

    Best game of the year! We passed the ball well and remained organized for 90 minutes. The midfield pairing of Bradley and Johnson was an off season stroke of genius. I don't think anyone predicted how well they would combine.

    Irwin continues to be in the right place at the right time, which is the mark of a good keeper. Night and day from last year, IMO.

    It will be interesting to see how we hold up next week against Portland.

    We beat two playoff teams on the road in back to back weeks. That must be a first for TFC, no?

    We get a point at the champs and we'll have a 1.5 average on the road through 8 games. Dynamite.
