    Still confused, what does an archway in Chinatown East have to do with an LA Galaxy game?

    Very subtle. I live just up the street from that arch, and it took me a while to figure out that connection.

    I'm taking a broad view (streetcar) of (to) this one.

    It won't happen but if I was in TFC communications, I'd take Hamilton to that corner and be interviewed about what it means to play for TFC.

    Great job keeping things classy, Og.

    I would've made some allusion to the "Hooker" Harvey's on Gerrard. Glad I have a better site to remind me of that Street now.

    I'd like that except have Jordan beside Giovinco to start.

    Yea, that's what I want as well. What's impressed me since the last time I saw him is his hold play has improved tremendously. Even if he's not the finished product, he'll still impact the game and improve the team.

    Still find him too inconsistent. He is invisible for long stretches and makes some dodgy decisions. He can possibly poach a goal here or there but I'd take a more positive to the offense Babouli over him right now. Mo has really been coming on of late and with his decent run in the past 5 matches I don't think he deserves to sit.

    Suddenly, hungry young players are presenting us with nice problems. Have I stepped into an alternate dimension where TFC is.... a proper football club?!?

    LAG like to get their FB's forward. They are going to bomb down our wings all night. I'd rather see Endoh on the outside if he's available. And I'm thinking Baboulli starts instead of Hamilton.

    Game 1 to game 2 there was a huge improvement in his play away from the front of the net. He went from looking like basic holdup play was going to be difficult to looking very comfortable very quickly.

    I'm curious to see if we stick to the 4-2-3-1 for this, or if they go back to a 2 striker formation. If the former, Giovinco would probably have to play LAM.

    I'm partial to Hamilton starting up top. We need a forward that can come down with the occasional long ball, at the very least contest it. A Giovinco-Babouli tandem up top means we have no outlet when under pressure.

    Babouli and Hamilton aren't the same kind of players and Jordan is more of a Jozy replacement then Mo will ever be. Play Jordan. If you need a Seba replacement or someone on the wing then bring Mo in, though I also like what Lovitz has shown on the wing.

    LAG's away form is horrid.


    They will be playing in the US Open Cup on Tuesday but if a single starter is even on the bench, I'd be surprised - they are playing the equivalent of a 5th division team, one that was suspended from league play for a brawl.

    They should start JHamilton, his hold up play should benefit Gio.

    He has also shown that he can make good passes inside the box to set up goal scoring chances.

    Morgan and lovitz have earned a shot too. I don't think Morrow is a given. And there are other alternatives. Morgan could play left mid and Will J right, in the above formation, for example.

    Morgan can't play in the middle. He has a Zardes-like first touch.

    Call it wing if you like. But if we are playing a 4-2-3-1 he can be on the left of the "3", and has played there effectively at times. I call that left mid so likely my terminology confused, I assume you mean he cannot be the left in the "2"

    Hamilton should start up top with Gio.

    I hope and expect a moment of silence before the game. Apparently Orlando will be stopping their game at some point on Saturday.

    I remember when a visit by LAG would be the talking point of TFC that week...
