Actually, I want Morrow to move to the right and we bring in Edwards to start.

I don't think Seba is like that though. IIRC during the final he tried to run off the cramps for 10-15 minutes but couldn't do it. I can't imagine anyone who's watched him over last two years really believes he's not a proper competitor. That just doesn't compute for me at all.

With regards to his form - meh. he went 6-7 in a row without scoring last season and we did fine. He's still the guy who produced more than a goal a game the last two years. Now that we have Altidore properly firing up there with him I can't see him slowing down any time soon. Give it time.

too much misunderstanding with Ronaldo, dont agree with you but lets not hijack the thread

I could be out to lunch here, wasn't there talk a while back of some Norwegian lad who could play right back who we picked up. Did he sign, and if so is he not ready to play?

Alseth - one of the draft picks - he hasn't been signed or released...yet...

that was in the player survey, how dumb it is to not be signed but not be released

He could be trying in Europe first and MLS is his back up. After all he is from there.

**Areathrasher** · 03-08-2017, 03:16 PM

Per Larson...Sounds like they just haven't decided who's won the MLS contract

Toronto FC is also is leaning towards signing fullback Jordan McCrary and Oyvind Alseth, one of which will likely join TFC II

oyvind? hes from norway.

**mastermixer** · 03-10-2017, 11:51 AM

Weather in Philly for tomorrow looks colder than the MLS Cup Final. Lousy Smarch weather.

They actually postponed the game in New England tomorrow due to the cold.

**Cas87** · 03-10-2017, 04:32 PM

^^ think it was more so the amount of Snow they are expecting in NE than the cold (since the cold would be comparable to Philly at the same time).

**khso11** · 03-10-2017, 07:53 PM

Anyone driving to Philly right now beware there's heavy snow on the I-90 just west of Syracuse. Zero visibility!

**Auzzy** · 03-10-2017, 09:32 PM

So I guess there will be some people watching at Shoeless on Saturday? I wonder what's a good time to show up -- not sure what else might be on TV or other issues.

**OgtheDim** · 03-11-2017, 08:10 AM

Game Day

Apparently the weather in Ethel Water's Neighbourhood today is going to reach a high, around game time, of -1.

A lot of quick passes on bumpy ground and a lot of long passes where even the best technical skills won't be able to corral things.

**OgtheDim** · 03-11-2017, 03:24 PM

Apparently this will be on TSN4

**ouderwien** · 03-11-2017, 03:35 PM

There has been an hour delay in curling due to the blackout. I'm assuming that means TFC will be bumped?

**Brandino88** · 03-11-2017, 03:48 PM

Vasquez and endoh starting today. Lets get this win

**notthesun** · 03-11-2017, 03:51 PM

Endoh steps in at RB, Vazquez moves Osorio to the bench. Edwards and Mavinga also on the bench.

**charlieocc** · 03-11-2017, 03:51 PM

I'm a bit surprised Vazquez got in and Mavinga didn't. Should be fun.

Mavinga hasn't been with the team the last couple weeks - been with his wife and newborn in France. Think they're easing him into things.

**PizzaEatingYeti** · 03-11-2017, 04:03 PM

I am expecting a shitty quality game because of the cold.
Anyways, before April 1 we can almost never expect good playing conditions for all games up from the northern part of Central US and the East Coast.
Same goes for any game after October 15.

**OgtheDim** · 03-11-2017, 04:05 PM

According to Wheeler, Beitashour didn't make the trip due to the concussion protocol and Cheyrou didn't make the trip either.

How normal is that a professional sports player gets more than 10 days leave for the birth of a child?
I mean you make minimum 2 times what a good paid person in other field of activity makes, plus you save a ton of money on other amenities the club puts on your behalf.

**Jpexxx** · 03-11-2017, 04:17 PM

Anyone know of any decent streams?

Maybe there is a reason. Who knows.

I think given the point we're at in the season and the fact that he's just signed with us factors in to this. If it was August I don't think we'd be so lenient.

IIRC correctly we gave somoene - I think it was Moor - a long weekend during he middle of the season last year to be with their newborn before calling him back.

**PizzaEatingYeti** · 03-11-2017, 04:36 PM

Some supposed Youtube streams.
Usually a lots of these do not work "as advertised":

From a Philly beat reporter. It sounds cold.
