Beating seattle in regular time at home for the cup would be fairly cathartic I guess.
Let's get through tonight first though.
precisely and exactly this. my section went nuts. I high-fived a guy I can't stand and hugged everyone else.
That game was so much tension building with each swing of "we're going though, no they're going through, oh shit extra time" and then Gio going down and then benny balls ghosting in for the kill shot.
watched it again last night to get amped and man did it ever work .
I keep trying to get work done but it's just not happening. I'm feeling very calm about this game - very confident that we will get through.
Just watching some pre-match stuff on the Crew website and the one guy said that Vanney in an interview said that Crew were lucky to get to the point they are at and he called Vanney's comments "arrogance masking insecurities" about the TFC team not being as good as they say they are. Was there any such interview with Vanney saying that about Columbus being lucky? I can't see him saying that. MLS reporting is definitely giving TFC a spin of being arrogant going into this match so I could see them spinning something about a Vanney comment too and that may be what this guy is referring to.
Does anyone in the know actually know what time the march is settled for?

TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Crazy traffic on 427 now go train delay. My nerves!! 😩
Lineups:
TFC: Bono; Zavaleta, Moor, Mavinga; Bradley, Osorio, Vazquez; Giovinco, Altidore
Crew: Steffen; Afful, Mensah, Williams, Abubakar; Trapp, Abu; Santos, Higuain, Meram; Kamara
Don't mind the osorio start Delgado has been coasting lately
Watching the team warmup and the focus and drive of our captain.
Can't read his lips but he's continually saying something to his teammates and making hand motions. His leadership extends well beyond the 90 mins of the game. Let's go Reds!
I don't want any drama tonight. Just a resounding, thumping victory.
Do I really have to suffer through James Duffy?
why the heck didn't Giovinco take the penalty kick!!

Caldwell's continual over-compensation is making the Crew sound like Barcelona. Fuck, he's driving me nuts.
Osorio sucks ass.
Is Delgado injured? No reason for Osorio to be playing.
My nerves are already shot.
This first half was miles away from what TFC needs to play in the second half to win.
Except the last 4-5 minutes TFC had extremely little going forward, and Columbus was too dangerous on the break.
Poor first half from the Reds. I don’t know why Vanney is playing Osorio ‘cos all he seems to do is give up possession. We need to stop these sideways passes that invariable end up back with Bono and start moving the ball forward more quickly. Séba & Jozy have been very quiet the first half but we saw the trouble they can cause in the last 5 minutes there when we took the game to Columbus and played in their half. We need to step things up a gear and get our best strikers on the ball more. I really don’t like the option of this game going to penalties given Vazquez’s miss.
Come on TFC take the game to them and you can win this!

Looks like Delgado is going in has warmup gear off and is going through some exercises
he came back long enough to score. Legendary move.
Lucky that it's playoffs. That was a bad tackle with scissoring by Bradley. Justifiably red

And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
