Match Day 18 - TFC @ SKC Saturday July 7 8:30pm I'm falling down I need to sleep

[gracos]

With that, talking about TFC, I guess you must mean firing coaches willy nilly, and then turning over most of the team every couple of years?

Should we be content with status quo, or even less because a great coach can and will be able to bring out the best of their players even in the hardest of times and be able to communicate with FO and make sure they continue building for a stronger team

[jloome]

Hamilton having a breakout night wow

He has always exhibited crazy skill; I think it's always been work rate and thinking off the ball that has held him up.

[OgtheDim]

The issue here has been identified. Bez said as much in that interview. Currently available CB's are not good enough. As there is no other CB available on the bench, the only option would be to take off Zavs for Telfer or Morgan & move over one of the FB's.

We seem to have instead gone with a 4-3-3.

And...now tied up again.

Game on with 20 to go, which given how most of us expected no result out of this, isn't too bad.

[jloome]

Justice (although not for Opara). He was injured and his own teammates played on because of positional advantage, and he gets seriously hurt.

[Gringo Starr]

Showing some resolve, they are not giving up, hope they get a result

[SirBobSaget]

What a dummy to stretch into a challenge like that after feeling something wrong 30 sec earlier

[OgtheDim]

Bradley yelling at the two CB's about that Fernandez stroll through the middle of them.

[zorsofstesab]

Please take Zavaleta off. Man to man he cannot keep up.

[Voodooman]

Thing is we don't really have options to take him off.

I'd be happy with a point here. SKC a tough team to take points off of at their building

Hey we are competing away against a team who's only lost 4 games all season. Pretty darn sure that back line is going to give up a goal but we look dangerous when we got the ball at least. Fun game. Some nice goals - in with a shot. 3 decent forwards out there - WOW. Never thought I'd see that.

GAWD I NEED A DRINK this is just awful to watch after last year

[OgtheDim]

WOW...MLS.

Goalie tries to do a quick counter ala Belgium & throws it out.

[Couchy81]

WOW...MLS.

Goalie tries to do a quick counter ala Belgium & throws it out.

Seem to recall the man of the match for England doing the exact same thing earlier today

[jloome]

Okay, I was wrong, his distribution is kind of shit.

He has to stop kicking it so damn long.

[Auzzy]

Feck, TFC so lucky again, how does Zusi get so open on the corner?

[jloome]

Akinola on. Exciting times.

Hey, great to see a Canadian kid coming on for a Canadian.



2018 me

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THE DEFENCE IS AWFUL!!!!!


AND...HE'S NOT CANADIAN!!!

[Voodooman]

The only thing thats annoying me is Rauter saying "Oh" so much aha.

Lets get this point!

[Inklink]

If the football wasn't brutal enough, we get to have Vic Rauter fucking puke all over the broadcast. How the flying fuck does this guy have this gig. Repeating the players name and adding inflections to try and mask the fact that you don't know what the hell is going on on the field. Stick to curling.

His declaration that we just snapped our winless streak with a tie was interesting.

I assume it's because Caldwell, KJ, etc are doing World Cup

[Auzzy]

Lots of problems still evident, but decent result overall.

[Inklink]

I swear Caldwell was on the broadcast? OR did they find another Scottish guy?

[Couchy81]

Rauter calling the game reminds me of a new fan in the stands who just started figuring out the game and gets excited because he see's "the game" for the first time

[wopchop]

I assume it's because Caldwell, KJ, etc are doing World Cup

They teamed up Vic Rauter with Caldwell. What an iconic duo.

[jloome]

Good game. KC is tough at home.

Now we just need to flat out win 70% of our remaining matches and we'll make the playoffs

[GerMc]

A good result against a good team, even with a few of their starters out. The SKC goals were both defensive lapses, but we came back and got a road point. Well done, Reds! Want to see a lot more of this resolve.

[Oldtimer]

I'll take a point. Best result in weeks. Given our lineup, a win was not realistic.

[Canary10]

I watched for a short period of time and we went from 1-0 up to 2-1 down. Stopped watching and we pulled even. Sorry guys.

I’ll take that result. Supposedly a top 2-3 team away. Way to go guys.

[Auzzy]

If you find anyone on or off the team who is currently "content with status quo" then let me know, OK?

[Kaz]

We only didn't win because the team couldn't not allow two goals in under 5 minutes. They fell back.. It is a symptom of the larger mentality issue. They could have won instead they got a point which it self isn't bad given that TFC has only picked up 3 points this season when they screw up like this (including this one)
