Match Day Playoffs Rd 3 Leg 1 - Turn Your Love WAY UP - TFC @ IMFC Tue Nov 22

[ag futbol]

That's great news. It's too bad MLS playoff scheduling isn't doing anybody any favours.

The international breaks and general drawn out format are a challenge.

[Joe Kool]

CBC radio hosts take off early for the game, who has a boss who is that much of an asshole that they won't let them off early for this?

Haha....TD Bank....maybe if it was BMO they would be allowed.

Seriously?

I literally put a $40k USD deal on hold for two days to go down to NYC. It's not massive, but it's big enough seeing as I'm more or less a one man operation.

[Petor]

It's always fun to read what the other side is thinking.

"Toronto has the highest payroll in MLS at US$21.798 million, according to the players’ union, while the Impact ranks ninth at $6.741 million — or less than Giovinco is earning. Drogba tops the Impact list with a salary of $2.191 million and he won’t even be in the starting 11 against Toronto."

[woolly]

Oh God, please don't tell me we're playing in the white kit for this game...

[Capt.Cro]

I've been looking for this information in all sorts of articles but no one seems to be mentioning anything... Like in the second leg of the conference semis with Cooper, Bradley and Altidore (was it Altidore?) at risk of missing the next game due to yellow card accumulation, are there any players on Montreal's roster who could face the same fate? I feel that Montreal have been notorious for getting yellows against us and that this could potentially work to our advantage in the second leg on the 30th... brief; does anyone know if any of their players have accumulated 2 yellows thus far in the playoffs?

Thanks

[paul-collins]

Venegas, Bush, Ciman, Camara all sitting on a yellow.

[Marcus]

Bradley and Jozy got yellows against Philly and Cooper in leg 1 against NYCFC

Good news! Almost the entire defensive line has a yellow and they are sure to pick one up playing rough against Seba and Altidore.

Here's a positive article from the MLS about us finally.

Still couldn't keep from taking a cheap shot. "Trigger warning: Mista, Eric Hassli, Gilberto"

oh Gilberto...

[Red CB Toronto]

Well over at ESPNFC, Brian McBride has spoken, predicts a Toronto Seattle MLS Cup at BMO Field on December 10.

I'm very concerned about Bradley.

After every USMNT match, we've seen "bad Bradley" instead of the good version that we had this playoff run. Mistakes in passing, seeming distracted, cheap giveaways. Every single time after playing for Klinsmann. Add to it the fact that the US team collapsed the last game, he's gotta be discouraged. Can he bounce back in time because he has to hit the ground running? The last few national absences it's taken a few games, but we don't have that luxury.

It could be that Bradley playing those US games will lose us the cup.

maybe a klinsman firing will cheer him up

anyone have the full lyrics to the Song we have about the impact to the tune of 'alouette'? I've had bits of that song stuck in my head all morning.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB5gpfWJNTE There's a lot of verses, I'm sure we can get them all here together.

Outremont, Celine Dion, Pierre Laporte, Saputo Cheese, Church today, FLQ, etc

this has crossed my mind too, I'm concerned.

Michael and Jermain Jones are simply not on the same page in the midfield and JK seems for some reason to not see it. Even Michael has acknowledged this.

As of now, there are 16 seats available on the Rally bus. So go book yours. There was an error with their software earlier today and it was showing the trip as cancelled, but it has been fixed and the bus has been confirmed with 16 seats still open.

Four of us heading over to Montreal for the first leg. So excited.

Any pre-game restaurant or bar plans in the works?

McLeans, starting at 2pn. Get there early or it'll be packed! Going to be a sea of red

Ya this is my concern too. His head is almost in a different game when he comes back.
The way I see it is that Montreal is the scrappy underdog who benefits from this international break. We were laser focused and red hot going into the break but we might of turned that off during the break. We have the skill to beat them, but it's going to be up to Vanney to bring their head back to where they were before the break.

[GhostKiller]

Also, do the yellow card accumulations ever reset in playoffs or are Bradley Cooper and Jozy doomed to have this over their head until the MLS Cup final (god willing)

They reset after game 1 of the ECF, so basically it means you can't be suspended for accumulation for MLS Cup

Hehehe Bradley Cooper.

I made a post elsewhere about resting Bradley & Altidore for the first leg and playing for a draw. Not surprisingly it didnt go down too well. I understand why, and it would be an extremely risky strategy. Although, I was thinking more about fatigue and their yellow cards

We have to hope that the US debacle last night doesnt affect their confidence. Probably a good thing the game is next midweek and not this weekend (which I originally thought)

[Detroit_TFC]

Nothing would make me more happy than Jozy scoring the game winning goal off a MB assist and both of them saying "fuck you Klinsmann."
