Match Day 8 - Leave those Broken Hearts behind- Houston @ TFC Friday April 28 7:30pm
Have at it people
After watching their match highlights v SJ I expect Toronto to win this one. Maybe goals go both ways but I'd be disappointed with a draw. This is 3 pts to climb some table!

This is a very interesting match up. Houston are playing full of confidence, while TFC are just starting to find their groove. Obviously on paper we should walk away with an easy 3 points on Friday night. But this Houston team are unpredictable and everytime I think about this game all I seem to come back to is the disappointment of the game in Houston last season where we did everything but put the game to bed. What's your thoughts?
I feel like TFC always shit the bed against Houston. Maybe the home opener a cpl years back and the Defoe penalty miss game are clouding my judgement.
Feels like a frustrating draw coming up
As far as the lineup goes, it will be interesting to see if Vanney keeps Delgado in (hope that he does) and how that will affect Osorio and Cooper (larger contract)
This, especially with both of them missing time for the Gold Cup, would be tough for them to be bench players for April and May.
Oh dear........Mark Geiger
Houston is undefeated at home, but 2 losses in 2 games on the road. 4-2 loss at Portland and 2-0 loss at New England.
We should win.
Cubo seems to be back to his goal scoring self this year, the back line will have to be aware of him and not give up any space at the top of the box.
I'm hoping Delgado gets the start again
Cubo's goal scoring is unlikely to continue, unfortunately.

What is with these Friday games?
It's got to be a TV broadcasting thing, it just doesn't make sense with the Toronto traffic snarl. It's like any midweek gameOriginally Posted by James17930
terrible trying to get to the game on time, 8:00 would be a bit better
This is the first of 5 games over 15 nights. Orlando on Wednesday is the more important game so I suspect there's going to be some lineup changes. Might see Chapman start maybe even Ricketts for Altidore.
Yes. We discussed it in the schedule thread. We're sharing broadcast times with 2 other teams. We are getting the Fridays because last year they were so excited to use those new lights and there was enough positive feedback.

Well that's poopy. It sucks for me because I have to leave for work early Saturday morning and so can't watch the game
Can't say I'm crazy about them either although it does clear up the rest of the weekend

The salary numbers are available now, the three of them have almost the same guaranteed pay. If I remember correctly, Delgado's pay is the highest!

Prediction: TFC 3-0 HOU , 2x Jozy, 1x Seba
the mid had better shape to it last game, Vazquez certainly looked his most impressive yet. Not sure whether that is due to starting to get fitter and used to the team, or the inclusion of Delgado, maybe both. I know Vaquez shifted over a bit in that game but I do really like the balance Delgado brings
I think that the real reason that TFC played so well last week is because my kids were player escorts for the game, and so the players were caught up in their enthusiasm! But I also think that Delgado seemed to gel better with the other players than Cooper or Osorio has. I think he deserves another chance to see if that is real, so I hope that Vanney goes with the same XI as last week. Let's get in the groove and keep the sparks flying!
BTW, my kids walked out with Chicago players, so not sure my theory about them making the difference really works :-)
No changes to our lineup.

GOOD!! Now, Vanney, no more retarded substitutions please. Here's some advice: Sub out those who're playing crappy or just plain exhausted, keep the good players on the field. You're welcome!!
Delgado is good. #analysis
That was an outstanding team goal. How many players got a touch on that sequence?
Delgado excellent so far
Delgados passing needs to improve
Ohhhhh jozy 2-0
What a goal. Edwards with beautiful patience, awesome skill from Giovinco and Altidore.
Clinical performance so far.
Yikes, a few suicide passes by Bradley and Delgado. But otherwise we're playing really well.
omg, the post deprives Giovinco again.
