    True it's technically 5 points, but let's be honest. NYCFC can't get more than 66 points which is 4 more than what TFC has now. In theory with a tie, NYCFC can win the supporter's shield if they have a superior goal differential. As of now, TFC has a +24 advantage on NYCFC, so it's unlikely they'd win the shield if we were level on points.

    4-0 result without Seba or Jozy. Vanney deserves some credit here. He is the architect of this result.

    No Seba, no Jozy. no problem.

    Awesome win by the Big Red Machine. And kudos to those who flew out to attend the match (Justin ).

    We are playing on another level to everybody else.


    LAG is bad right now, made out of USL hopefuls and a bunch of guys who are shell shocked at how bad its going, coached by somebody who can't deal with a team in crisis & who is isn't going to be there next year.

    But watching all the supposedly decent teams today, we are just so much better then all of them.

    This will be a major test of depth, and I don't expect a 4-0 result for TFC. If TFC can win this match, it will confirm that this is the most complete MLS squad ever.

    Two DPs missing, and we still totally dominated. Vanney deserves a lot of credit indeed. We have reserves step in and our ball movement is still fluid.

    Since that frustrating DC draw, TFC have outscored opponents by a score of 21-3 while going 6-0-0 ...I think that's called "being in form"

    Roll on Reds !!

    Wow.

    Postulate: As long as Vasquez is on the field, TFC will score 2+ goals. I want to see this hypothesis tested next time Vanney rests VV.

    He's on the same kind of level as Seba talent-wise, I think. Another level from MLS, that's for sure. I mean, really, this guy should be playing in a top Euro league.

    I don't think it was much of anything. I read his lips while he was down and right before the chance camera angles he said "arrrrgghhh my nuts!!" I'm thinking he got clipped in the nether regions and it's nothing serious

    Of course he is!
    When he was 14-15 he was considered even better than Messi by the Barca staff.
    In my humble opinion those folks at Barca may know a little bit about the sport in which a bunch of so called footballers are running around kicking a ball.

    The Galaxy keeper and a defender doing some nice synchronized dance moves right after TFC's fourth goal:

    Has anyone found a torrent for this match? The usual suspects are not working.

    I just don't see how he was not effective in Mexico. Is this just an amazing year? Smarts like that dont come and go

    I've wondered about that as well.
    He's just so good.
    Perhaps the chemistry with those other teammates just wasn't there.
    Maybe he wasn't happy living in Mexico.
    Who knows...

    He's alluded to safety concerns for his family while there a couple of times. But that's over the course of this season - I can't remember where I read that to share a link, but I know I've seen it come up more than once.

    I'm just re-watching the LA highlights. The play at 43:00 of game time (about halfway through the six-minute highlights on TFC's website) is one of the best attacking sequences I've seen from TFC, possibly from the whole league. A whole slew of TFC players charging forward, with various movements that seem nicely choreographed, totally overwhelming the LA defense and creating huge gaps in defense. They end up with 6 TFC players in LA's box. Too bad Osorio ended up shooting at the keeper.
