Have at It People
Had the pleasure of meeting all Aidan, Julain and Ryan tonight, looking forward to seeing some if not all of them see some action on Saturday. On a more serious note I wonder if Victor is close at all he gets a run out at Houston to see where he stands and if all goes well , you have him ready for Mexico?

Let's see what the kinds can do
After last night I think Morrow needs another 45 minutes...
I agree morrow needs a 45 run out but Morgan was solid (minus a few stray passes) and really got under their skin.
The cutoff is around the 2,000 m mark. Guadalajara is at ~1,500, while Mexico City is ~2,400, right?
Anyway, I guess it can't hurt to do a bit of extra training for Morrow, but I'd rather he be match sharp with some playing minutes in an actual game.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Guadalajara - 1566m
Denver CO- 1609m
Commerce City CO - 1574m
Mexico City - 2250m
Given that TFC have been doing tenting / oxygen deprivation training *after* the Azteca game, I'd say that *they* believe 1500m matters.
I'm not sure where you're getting 2000 as the cutoff, very first link I get (wiki so YMMV) says effects can start at 1500. This is an aerobic game so oxygen matters.
https://www.higherpeak.com/altitudechart.html - drop of effective oxygen from 20.9% to 17.3% means only 83% the amount of oxygen available, compared to what our guys are used to.
(edited to add, I saw the training note in my twitters but can't find it now, but it was definitely in the context of the players who returned home instead of going to Colorado)

Hasler, Hernandez & Irwin did interviews today about playing in Houston.
We scored two away goals at Azteca Stadium to win the tie. I have been very hard on this team over the years & not generally Mr. Optimistic. This team can turn this around and win this tie - they have it in them to do it.
I don't think Chivas can hold us scoreless. Once the first goes in then the momentum will be massive.
They can do it.
Will be interesting to see if either Aidan or Ayro get any action this weekend? Always like to see someone new take the field.

When did I refer to our bench as scrubs? If I did I feel it was probably in reference to how they stack up against Liga MX benches and even then I’ve already admitted I was wrong in that regard.
And being able to take shots outside the 18 is one aspect of play we know he has, but you can’t keep a player on the pitch for that reason alone. A midfielder is not the kind of player you can let ghost for a whole game until they come up with a piece of magic.
anyone know what players made the trip to houston?
