    No interest in this game.



    I will be watching the Raps season opener on Oct 17.

    Shame that three pretty big games on the calendar - first visit to Audi Field, derby game, Atlanta at home - all became meaningless exhibition games for us.

    OK if pressed- I would like us to play the U12s at DC and then the first choice team at Montreal, please.

    The pitch there is already looking terrible.

    Even worse than BMO.

    I have very little interest in this game. It's sad but a large part of me hopes we lose this game just because it puts a ton of pressure on Montreal. My best guess is we see more fringe players getting minutes in this game. Irwin, Chapman, Ricketts, Fraiser all should feature in this one.

    Agreed that there is little interest in this game, but a question. Will we be missing a number of players due to international play? Seba, Oso, Chapman, Ricketts?

    I guess it doesn't matter at this point.

    Hoping to keep it respectable with our bench players out there. I don't expect us to win though. Raptors home opener makes it a tough call though. Might have to PVR the TFC game.

    This is why MLS needs relegation and promotion. This game would be packed and a must win game still, MLS sucks sometimes!!

    It's an away game and DC will pack it as they are now above the playoff line.

    It won't be a full crowd - they didn't have a full crowd today. Takes time to recover from ineptitude on the pitch and even longer from off it. DCU's staff infrastructure was cut to the bone by recent management (who left just a few weeks before the home opener after the owners realised how cruddy things had become)

    Sound familiar?

    DCU is fun to watch now but I give it a couple of seasons until they are packing it out all the time.

    As for Pro Rel, the version of North American soccer where 2nd division teams can support a franchise hasn't been developed yet - give it 40 years.

    On another note, DCU winning tonight means our next 2 games are against the two teams fighting for the last playoff spot.

    I'd like to make this game as difficult as possible for DCU but I suspect it will be a heavy rotation prior to the derby & the Atlanta game.

    TFC loses this game... just to keep Mtl out of playoffs? lol

    the last thing this group can give us as a collective is a strong loss in DC with an academy team and a heavy win with a full squad at mtl. bouncing mtl out of the playoffs. it is the same a winning the playoffs. bending mtl over the counter is a strong statement for me and where i measure our season at this point.

    In my heart I want the boys to go to DC and win convincingly, show United that they may have gotten the playoff spot but we are the better team and at the same time give hope to our neighbours in Quebec. Then I want the boys to go to Montreal and absolutely thump Montreal so they know that it was truly us who snuffed their play off hopes.

    My head on the other hand is saying F That, don't take any chances and field the weakest line up possible for D.C. a back three of Hags, Zavs, and Hernandez, with Bradley nailed to the bench and Seba watching from an airport lounge....

    Pro Rel in MLS will happen when the other major leagues adopt it. In other words, NOT!

    College Football would benefit from promotion and relegation. No more first week fodders.

    Frustrating. Let’s hope he gets off to a clean start next year.

    Smart decision. Have him deal with the knee problem now, get it fixed so he has more time to recover and be good as new for next year.

    Both Jozy and GVW were in attendance at the Canada game on Tuesday night at BMO, guess they are both being held out of Wednesday night.

    Delgado & Osorio & Bradley won't be playing either having played last night.


    Midfield is going to be really interesting. Frasier for sure but after that

    Bradley came on in 78th minute. Hartford is less than a one hour flight to DC. I predict he goes 90 tonight.

    I know there is not much interest in this match, but for me I would like to see TFC actually play a decent game in DC, I am always interested to see TFC play, even in the really dark years. As has been said I think this season was a one off.
