Great news that Cheyrou is back, timing couldn't be better!
Will there be a contingent watching the game at Joe's? I'll be in town for Noisia that night and need somewhere to watch the game.
Yep. At least a table or two. See you tomorrow, bud!
Hey I couldn't find the link to when Bradley joins team murica for that southern tourney and I don't see him in the projected 11. So...is he going for the last warm-up match tomorrow?

Awesome!
And I'd assume so. Not sure how reliable ESPN blogs are, but there's this:
http://www.espnfc.com/major-league-s...co-in-mls-w2w4Toronto will be without Michael Bradley, a boost for the home side. Without their midfield general, TFC will need the likes of Will Johnson and Jonathan Osorio to fill the void.
He is with the US squad for Copa already I believe
FWIW, Jurgen actually played Bradley like TFC Bradley for the second half of a game on Wednesday night against Ecuador. He was VERY effective.
Did you watch the game? Anything in particular of note?
I only watched the last 10 of the first half and the second half until just before the US scored a goal. Apparently in the first half they played the usual Bradley, Jones, Beckerman thing and it was a stone wall but not much else. Ecuador had a lot of possession but went nowhere. Yedlin is..significantly improved.
This article sums up things well about the second half. I'm not a USMNT fan by any means but I do track just to see how MLS guys are involved and how TFC players are being used.

one minute into the highlight video , Bradley with a sweet cross and good defensive work to take away an almost 1 on 1
Wow. Ok so fuck Copa, then.
Go Willy Johnson!

He also misses the home game of Vcup but it's okay because he reps us.Wow. Ok so fuck Copa, then.
Go Willy Johnson!
Thought Bradley did well in 2nd half vs Ecuador. Good through balls that ripped Ecuador Defence open
Years have gone by and Ive finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
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 dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

FWIW, a New York perspective

Now if THAT friendly (vs Uzbekistan for those that don't know) was here instead of in Austria...
sigh

LOL at the way they label Toronto's offence (which includes Giovinco) vs. a New York Defence (which includes Collin AKA Giovinco's training pylon) as an "Even" matchup
That USA game looked entertaining.
And yeah Yedlin has been great the few times I've caught him at Sunderland this past year. Transitioning nicely to the higher level...finally.
The formation change in the second half had a big affect on the US play. MB was far more effective and his delivery was impressive. No doubt that MB's best position is a deep 6 now. However, JK often is not convinced by tawdry empirical evidence such as actual performances so it will be anyone's guess where MB will be used in the future.
I gotta say it. Seba is due to hit one from outside the area. I saw a stat last weekend that he was something like 1 for 49 for shots from outside the box, including free kicks. He's come so close with posts and a few great saves.
Collin's antics and lack of speed hasn't been noticed yet in Jersey....might happen this weekend or it might not but I would still say our attack is pretty darn potent.
Whats with their predicted lineup? I would think Lovitz or Cheyrou replace Chapman on the inside and Babouli replaces Lovitz on the wing?

Game Day
Damn it, I don't know how this match will seem to me after will be watching the Champs League final...
Now THIS is more like it (would have preferred Cheyrou over Chapman, however):
Slow and discombobulated.
Calling an Aurelien Collin red card before the 65th minute.
Ooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/torontofc/status/736678533808824321
And the bench has a surprise entry

And before anybody asks, Endoh is injured - another weird contusion.
Seba is captain.
Streams anyone?
