    If TFC scores first, this is quite winnable. If Chicago scores first and then bunkers, Chicago will win.

    Chicago strategy- bunker down and spring a counter when our line comes too high.

    Its been their strategy all season - the difference is Accam actually scored a few and they now have somebody in the midfield who can pass.

    Their midfield can be bypassed in transition still. And I've never been fond of Sean Johnson.

    Chicago has really had quite a turnaround. Who knows how it goes?

    Nothing to fear. This team is going for first place - we are at home - time to go for it. 3-0 for Toronto.

    Game is in Chicago, and I say 1-1.

    Shite...ok panic. And let's not get anyone on the other team sent off. First player calling on the ref to show a card..gets subbed.

    Given we're missing Seba and Chicago's recent run of form, we'll be luck to get out of the Windy City with a point

    I am finding it difficult to summons much optimism for this game. Generally seen poor results for TFC at Toyota Park.

    I'd like to see a 4-3-1-2 for this game. Hopefully Cooper sees his first minutes, in the 1 position, I'd really like to see how he links up with the midfield and the forwards. Sharing minutes with Chapman and Osorio would be ideal.

    Haven't seen much of him in net but I think Bono and Irwin have that position covered

    Cooper has definitely played RB before, though. Beitashour probably needs a game off

    It's a position he plays in a pinch... we go 3 at the back well before he plays that role. He has played RB like Atiba had played right back.

    Granted, but Wheeler's been saying he still looks like he has a knock in practice.

    Oddly enough, I'm not feeling any sense of dread over this game. I think a 1-1 draw is the most likely outcome, but they could win and I don't think they'll lose.

    I have been in the "TFC way over rely on Seba" camp all along, and I think we will have a tough September.

    I may have been watching too much of the Jays lately.
