    Orlando is nipping at our heels one spot behind in us in the standings, but I think TFC will manage to get three points.

    We can move in to a playoff spot with a win if Seattle beats NER at home, or the Limpact lose to Chicago on the road.

    The A team will be ready to play, I predict a 3-0 win for the good guys.

    not in my opinion. They need momentum after running into the brick wall that was houston at home. All home games are must win if we are to gather the necessary points to survive. If we want to go up to get a home game then it's even more important.

    Yup, agreed.

    It is. Losing this puts Orlando level and its doubtful DC, Montreal, and New England all lose again.

    I think we see this but with the Shaff. (And possibly Ciman for Mavinga) Otherwise sitting Oso Wednesday and starting Marky doesn’t make sense.

    I don’t think Vanney is impressed with Benezet yet. And this team is basically the one that lost to Red Bulls. So they will be pissed off.

    Default FYI: Bag Policy Crackdown

    This was sent out earlier this week via email

    Toronto FC Bag Policy
    Effective August 10th, 2019, any purses or bags that are larger than 14" x 14" x 6" will not be allowed into BMO Field for Toronto FC matches.

    This will be strictly enforced in accordance with the MLS Bag Policy.

    Medically necessary items are exempt and will be permitted after inspection.

    Please note that the capacity of the onsite bag check is extremely limited and as such, fans are strongly encouraged not to bring oversized or prohibited items to the stadium.

    Cheers,

    they started with all back packs and then bags 14/14/8 and now it's /6.

    what exactly do they think this accomplishes? I bring ponchos etc. in a bag that just fits into the old standard, now have to squish it down to fit. I'll bring a tape measure when the 3rd rate security gets uppity. Our ushers and ticket checkers are great but they're directly from MLSE. The security is mindbogglingly woeful.

    anyway, I'm off topic ( you are completely on topic, thank you )

    Go reds!

    3-0 for the good guys. Gallardo brace, Jozy chip shot

    FWIW, most of those promotional drawstring napsacks are under 14 x 14.


    ************

    Orlando's defence has stabilised into average but its their midfield where we should find lots of opportunity. Poz will get space. Bradley will have time.


    The usual refrains apply:

    If we move the ball quickly and use speed on the wings, we can take this team.

    If Gonzalez & whoever he partners with are on the same page & our mids track back, we can hold off their attack.

    2-1 and it won't be pretty

    The forecast is for 24 degrees with little humidity and a 20 k breeze out of the north. Almost perfect weather.

    Assuming Gallardo is fit to play, it would be quite frustrating either way if he doesn't start. Shaff hasn't shown enough finish in the final third to warrant another start imo

    Anyone know what the parking situation is at BMO right now? I ran by there yesterday and they’re setting up for the Ex so probably less parking than usual.

    With the Ex opening this week, better to park north of the grounds.

    We better see TFC come out firing tonight as it’s yet another must win. We’ve got the players to not only be competitive but definitely be in the top half of the conference.

    I’ll be paying close attention to NE in Seattle and MTL in Chicago as well. By the end of today we should be back in the playoff picture.

    I recently watched a team coached by a world class manager, 3 players who would walk into MLS on egregiously high DP salaries and probably start in most top leagues in the world supported by a bunch of scrubs.

    Since Orlando has the scrubs part nailed down, I’m ready to get no sleep and watch this one too.

    Yup. Must win. Time for all that experience at getting results in crunch games to come out again.

    Endoh and shaff need to take a seat. Wonder who plays leftback between auro and laryea.

    Some strange decisions here. Why not play Endoh all year if he is better than the TAM guys? Why start Marky Wednesday if he was going to start today? Auro struggles defensively on his proper side, like WTF?

    Some of these guys must not be healthy. What else could explain this?

    I’d back Laryea for this game. Certainly he must want to show Orlando what they missed out on.

    I’m glad Laryea is playing. But if you are going to sit Oso, why not start him on Wednesday? And I don’t get sitting BOTH the new guys.

    Yes, let’s sit both Benezet and Gallardo so Orlando can get a head start, genius!

    Orlando is stacking the middle. So Vanney shielding the CBs with 2 defensively responsible midfielders, then unleashing the offense on the width with attacking fullbacks and wingers.

    Endoh is going to run his socks off for 60 mins going box to box then get subbed. He's earned the start.

    That depends on what the score is. I hope it all goes to plan, but nothing is this season.
