Sorin Stoica to ref this game. He's one of the better ones.
On Saturday, some guy doing the centre bit for his second MLS game ever.

They are old, but with Pirlo and Villa, they have two of the greatest players of our generation. Pirlo doesn't need to move quickly to make his exquisite passes. The best strategy for beating this team, is to attack them from the outset, and not playing a defensive road game. Give Seba the ball early, and often.Originally Posted by Joe Kool
oso and i think perquis not starting 2morrow.i think you see lovitz instead of chapman
Is the game at 7:00 or 7:30? I'm seeing conflicting times a couple of different places.
GAME DAY
Weather at game time is 10 feeling like 9 with little to no wind. Sunny with cloudy periods.
Oso and Delgado are out for tonight... lovitz and chapman will be in unless morgan starts in mid.
We likely won't have any mids or forwards on the bench as Mannella is injured and Hamilton is with the U23's
EDIT: never mind one of Endoh, Lovitz or Chapman should be on the bench
Roberts, Bloom, Zavaleta, Perquis, Hagglund, Morgan, Lovitz the bench tonight?
Yeeesh
It's like a game of Jenga....just one or two more pieces coming out and the whole thing could come downFingers crossed we don't need to call upon many subs. Hope some guys get back healthy and quick.
Surely they have to find some forward to be on the bench tonight.
Can't be bothered to look up the rule book but I think they could probably use the "extreme hardship" rule to call someone up from TFC II, if they wanted.
Why is Perquis benched ?
Molinaro and Larson seem to think he will be rested.
Guys, is there any cheap ($10) parking on the south side of the stadium? Would like to avoid going through the GO tunnel ..
On non game days i think the parking drops to $8 or $11 in the lots around BMO but i doubt thats the case on game days. Not sure the cost but a few lots outside of the princess gates that may be cheaper as they are a little further away. Could also try lamport and just walk around duffrin.
Maybe it's the stadium actually being mostly full but that GO tunnel is more awful than in the past and i'm not usually out of the stadium til 20 minutes after the game.
Irwin
Beitashour Williams Moor Morrow
Endoh Johnson Bradley Morgan
Giovinco Babouli
This is really all we can do. Lovitz, Chapman, Perquis are the subs. Its unfortunate because Lovitz played well on Saturday and Babouli did not, but where are you going to put Lovitz? Him and Endoh can't really be wingers because they are going to cross the ball to Giovinco? With this formation really the midfield isn't that bad, but I have no faith in Babouli at striker. I smell a 2-0 loss
possibly because of his performance v Vancouver. He had done well so far this season but he looked more like the Perquis of last season in that game. Maybe management want to send a message out, that hey we have competition for places in central defence, you play poorly you get dropped. Or could maybe just be giving him a rest, we do as I say have quite the roster of centre backs, and could be just a bit of squad rotation going on
Yet in another thread people were pointing out how many wins we had without Jozy in the lineup...
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
I remember 1 win (we were dominated in that game), 1 tie and 2 losses. Altidore was the key to changing our season in a positive way and now we are royally screwed. He contributed positively in most of the games he played in and contributed to the goals, I am definitely an Altidore supporter. The loss of Altidore is irreplaceable
Also, I was the one complaining about Luke Moore and Herculez Gomez being let go and now we see why needed at least one of those players especially Luke Moore. This "salary cap" problem could have been avoided with the million dollars in allocation they gave us
lets hope SEBA gets a early goal and then i would sub zava,haggs,and perquis and play a 7-2-1
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a great deal of "Pirlo tourists" in the stands tonight. Many of my friends who believe no good football can come from TFC or MLS in general are making their way to BMO tonight for the first time ever.
Edit: I'm looking forward to spoiling their evening!
Pirlo is Pirlo, what can you do? He's a star. But if someone is coming to see a big-name Euro player, they should be coming to see Villa. IMHO David Villa has been an exemplary older DP in terms of commitment and effort, 100% all in.

Anyone know what time the gates open? TFC/BMO Field website says one hour before kickoff but the last two games it has been 1.5 hrs before kickoff so assuming the same unless they change it for the weekday games.
I guess it's also good to give Williams some minutes.
Folks...it's going to be a shit show driving anywhere downtown. Jays @ 7. Bieber at the ACC. Plan to get there early
Agreed! But most of the tourists I'm referring to equate Pirlo with the '06 World Cup and a number of Serie A championships. Such is life.
Bieber fans aren't old enough to drive are they?
morgan can too. A bit forgotten, but he can play wide on the left, fairly effectively, too.

Yes but they almost all get driven to these concerts and usually somebody's Dad or Mom goes as well. That and the knowledge of the downtown core is reduced as almost all will be driving in from around Southern Ontario.
The area around the offramps from the Gardiner near the ACC are going to be a zoo after 4.
Best plan to get to BMO is to take an Ossington bus south to Liberty Village and walk it in.
