Can't wait for this game.... hoping to freeze my ass off & a 2-0 result for the good guys
Could be horrible that night based on forecast.
Cold, rain, mud... WW1 trench warfare type conditions.
Should be great!

That pitch is a mess, it's supposed to rain Tuesday. Mexican teams rely on team speed. I think maybe we should have a different groundskeeping philosophy for this game only.
Can we schedule a tractor pull or something between now and Tuesday?

I normally agree with your posts, but this one is a bit off imo....TFC relies on short passes and keeping the ball on the deck. So from that angle, a shitty field will hurt us a lot....shame too because we need a result tomorrow.
The weather will bring the quality down if it is as bad as predicted....mistakes might be the difference.
You may be right, this isn't obvious. Also I am kind of kidding, they will do their best, the turf will be what it will be.
I am assuming that, like Tigres, any better Mexican team moves the ball around better than us, and has more team speed, but that we have more players (especially Bradley and Altidore) that just know how to muck it out in cold, frustrating, miserable conditions.
I am certainly pleased about the cold. We have played a TON of big games in the cold now, it's a huge edge. Tigres absolutely tailed off in the second half here, I think it got to them.

Definitely not....our style of play is as close to our Mexican counterparts more so that any other MLS team imo....
Fair enough, but it also seems that our BEST player, Giovinco, doesn't have his best games in temps like these....and we'll need a monster out of him tomorrow.I am assuming that, like Tigres, any better Mexican team moves the ball around better than us, and has more team speed, but that we have more players (especially Bradley and Altidore) that just know how to muck it out in cold, frustrating, miserable conditions.
Could be, but I thought Tigres actually had a better 2nd half, than 1st....it looked especially dangerous when Ginac came on imo.....but to me games like this with 2 fairly even teams often come down to intangibles....could be weather, or could be that "moment of brilliance" from a player...we'll see...I am certainly pleased about the cold.

The Discussion Board seems to have died a death in general - which is a shame really. FB and Twitter aren't anywhere as good in quality...not that some of the posts on here aren't pish - but is nearly impossible to have a decent chat on those platforms. Maybe I'm just getting too old.
Hey all... I will unfortunately be in Montreal tomorrow night on business and will need to find a bar to watch the game at. Anyone know a good sports bar in the Griffintown area? I will be relatively close to the Bell Centre so I imagine I can find a spot around there that will show the match but I would welcome any suggestions.
Thanks!
We're spoiled now. Back then, every move -- every decision -- worried the shit out of us. Now, we know the team is likely to perform well because it's focussed and we trust our coach.
Rare. But it leads to a malaise on discussing things.
Personally, I used to spend more time analyzing the games and performance etc and posted more often, but my interest in debate has abandoned me with age. I'm busy trying to juggle a home business/writing career, and am usually content to read others' comments and watch the game.
Still don't miss a minute, though.

One comment from a Club America fan "we can beat Toronto, those Canadians don't even have their own league". Haha. Made me laugh.
I'm crossing my fingers that Morrow is going to be good to go:
-------------------Bono----------------------
----Hagglung--Moor---Mavinga--------
VDW-----------------------------Morrow--
------Delgado------Bradley-----------
----------_Vasquez-------------------
------Giovinco----Altidore-----------
Thoughts?
I second your thoughts
-------------------------Bono
---------Van Der Weil--Moor---Mavinga
-------Auro Jr.------------------------Morrow
---------------Delgado------Bradley
-----------------------Vazquez
----------------Giovinco----Altidore
In my honest opinion, we have to be the favourites with this lineup. I'm also pretty happy with a 4-4-2

I hope everyone is healthy and we can start the same team as we did against Tigres as that is our best line up at the moment... TFC can deal with shitty weather as they have played many big games in it we can beat Club America
TFC 3-1 with goals from Altidore, Vasquez and Seba in that order.
People under 55 go on Facebook?
My girlfriend was at the Club America game on Saturday night vs Cruz Azul. Sounded to me like it wasn't the toughest match for CA.
