[Joe Kool]

He's on 3 yellows. He'll get his day off soon enough.

Haha...true dat!

That looks very possible. Could see Chapman starting over Oso, and maybe Ricketts over Hamilton (though he's not done anything all year, he does have 'seniority').

But even if they don't start, it seems very likely Chapman and Edwards will come in at some point barring injury-forced subs.

And as others have mentioned, I also think this would be a good game to rest Bradley.

Looking forward to more away viewing action at Joe's tomnorrow. Break the week up with us, large font aficionados and trillium hunters.

I like the cut of your jib

Could this work day get any longer.

See you soon, lads!

May the bloodiest flower rivalry in the league be renewed!

Just for a reminder of how far things have come, here is the starting lineup from playing in Columbus on Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012:

#TorontoFC XI: F. Hall; Eckersley, Williams, O'Dea, Morgan; Wiedeman, Dunfield, Frings, Johnson; Silva, Hassli.. #TFCLive


#TorontoFC substitutes: Kocic; Cann, Emory, J. Hall, Maund, Avila, Amarikwa .. #TFCLive

I seem to recall TFC lost 2-1. Here's hoping for a better result.

Why that game? Curious.

Why put in Mavinga who has played TERRIBLY and Vanney has NO FAITH in?

[Graeme]

Why put in Mavinga who has played TERRIBLY and Vanney has NO FAITH in?

Because I watched the Seattle game?

Mostly because I thought Hagglund needs a night off. Maybe not in his home town, though.

Giovinco didn't travel, he has a heel bruise and they're playing it safe. He's likely for Minnesota at home on the weekend.

Zavaleta, Vazquez and Beitashour all available.

[OgtheDim]

More changing around.

A 3-4-2-1

as good as higuain has been this season, I think the key to stopping Columbus is stopping will trapp who is the key cog and has more touches for Columbus than anyone else. Stop trapp and cut the supply to higuain. Columbus forced to go to flanks for crosses for ola kamara who is a good striker but avg in the air.

You have a good point. I was just quoting the "Keys to the Game"

[PawTar711]

We have to take this game.

[OgtheDim]

Hoping for a win, would take a tie....but its an away game in conference against a tough opponent so a loss would not surprise.

[notthesun]

Berhalter seems to be trying to match us, moving from his usual 4-2-3-1 to a 3-5-2: https://twitter.com/ColumbusCrewSC/s...34674383216641

That right flank though... Finlay and Williams. We should attack down the left as much as possible, have Morrow be aggressive and Vazquez drift wide. Too bad Giovinco is out because he'd probably have a field day down the left.

is Gio injured? Angry? family issues?

He's not even on the bench.

Injured, heel bruise. I posted Larson's story above.

Saw that.. missed it at the beginning must have scrolled to fast or my eyes are getting old.

Here's a usually okay stream:

But if anyone has a YouTube stream, that would probably be better.

Thanks so much for posting this good link. Very appreciated. Living in Colombia I depend on these links as my only option to follow my beloved TFC. Still don't understand why MLS Live is not available internationally.

[Auzzy]

Awful defending on the Columbus free kick, TFC very lucky.

[James17930]

It's all pretty flat so far.

[trane]

We lost our shape there for a few second, exposing the left wing.

[MightyDM]

Altidore was stretching out his hamstring earlier. That's a concern.

[Detroit_TFC]

The Columbus local broadcast commentary on MLS Live is brutal, worst I've heard in years.

Update: I put it on mute. Couldn't take it anymore.
