MatchDay 18 - Whatcha gonna do when Sebamania destroys you? TFC @ CBUS Wed July 13

[Jack]

Maybe. I guess it was close enough that you can't get upset.

Think I'll watch a movie. We are just terrible.

I'm about to do something similar. This hurts.

[mistercorporate]

So much for "analytics" minimizing injuries lol

[Ultra & Proud]

This is painful to watch right now.

Just pretend it's 2008 again and it'll look okay.

[OgtheDim]

That was on Bloom -injured and gassed, noticed it when the camera was on him just before the corner, he didn't come out and kept him onside.

Ugly stuff.

The Mummy Returns is on CHCH.


Someone needs to explain to me why there have been so many injuries. What major errors are done in fitness that is causing this.

I don't know if my psyche could handle that

[Ultra & Proud]

That's more like it. Nice Hamilton.

[MightyDM]

I did, would have actually gone to BMO tonight if it were not so gross and hot outside.

you would have been lonely

[QBall]

Yeah Hamilton!

[Kaz]

OMG they equalized.

[Jack]

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll!

Glad I stuck around. Nice take by the kid.

Its not that bad when you look at it, Johnson put his body on the line on the goal he scored, Altidore is just the same old story, Bradley is getting overworked with national duty, the rest is just the usual minor stuff.

[OgtheDim]

So for once we control the ball moving it forward and open them up like a tin can.

[Oldtimer]

Yes!

[Richard]

Serious thought here, we might not need Altidore when we got a player like Jordan Hamilton.

[Kaz]

you would have been lonely

I hear some old people are there tonight watching some antiquated event.

[Ultra & Proud]

I don't know if my psyche could handle that

Where's your sense of nostalgia?

Ahh the good ol' days

[nonc]

Lol Crew. Nice Jordan.

[AFCB+TFC]

Hamilton is a beast! So clinical in front of goal so far in Amway/MLS.

[Detroit_TFC]

Very nice service from Chapman and lovely from Hamilton.

[Ultra & Proud]

Better have a lot of paramedics on hand. It's shit out there.

[Jack]

I'd like to keep them as the good ol' days, you know?

Emphasis on the old.

There was an argument that Nelsen overstrained/undertrained his players leading to injury, and Vanney had the solution with all the IT and sports bras etc. Perhaps we can conclude that it's actually something like overuse: the busy schedule plus international duty turf etc.

[Ultra & Proud]

Liking the growth of Chapman too. He's come a long way since being called out on here for pulling out of challenges.

[Jack]

Agreed. I guess this is what we've had to wait for is for some of our young guys to play enough (and through some growing pains) to become useful.

[Jack]

Close one there.

[Davenport]

Columbus is a shambles, Seba starving for a goal but seeing decent play from the youngsters, should mean a big win for TFC but I've seen this movie before. I'm afraid Bono gets found out in this game. 2-1 Columbus despite a whole bunch of scoring chances for TFC.

Seriously, and we're not a shambles ?? We look a lot worse than we did a year ago. No progress at all.

[Davenport]

And.......Seba didn't make this trip. Rested and playing in San Jose.


Time for the kids - 3-5-2

The @BacardiCanada XI: Bono; Zavaleta, Moor, Williams; Bloom, Delgado, Cheyrou, Osorio, Morrow; Hamilton, Babouli.

Bench: Roberts, Endoh, Hagglund, Chapman, Beitashour


Short bench

Giovinco rested for an important game ? Bless.

[Jack]

I disagree on "no progress". I've seen some of our younger players start to show us a lot more, as opposed to having a bunch of vets who have no upside. Hamilton, Chapman and Zavaleta have all progressed this season and Hagglund has proven to be solid. Missing Bradley, Altidore and Giovinco tonight is always going to be tough, never mind Morrow and Irwin.

[Eastend]

When is curling season so Vic can get back to where he should be?
