Bono needs to be benched, to let a ball slip like that, which leads to a goal is sad, hopefully Armas wakes up finally

[MikeForbes]

The media carrying that water for Bono yet again. Never encountered an athlete who has so many excuses made for him.

[notthesun]

Well that goal is 100% on Armas for playing the wrong keeper.

[Auzzy]

He doesn't seem comfortable on his left foot at all. He has cut back onto his right every time he has run at the defender.

On highlights from the past I've seen Soteldo score many goals with his left foot, as well as nice crosses. Let's see.

Oh come on Bono that's fucking embarrassing.

And nobody from TFC even followed the ball in. Lots of ball watching and slow reaction by TFC today.

It did take a pretty wicked skip off the turf, but ... I don't know ...

[Bushmancan]

I am not a massive Bono fan, and not excusing him but it is a team game. Both the General and I think Laryea were just standing and watching. A bit of pressure from them and maybe Medina doesn’t have the easy tap in.

[mowe]

Can we end the Bono thing now?

Unfortunately I don’t see any way Armas changes his mind.

[Bobo]

In fairness to Bono, that was a ridiculous bounce and the defenders didn't bother to react. But it won't quell the calls for Westberg - nor should it.

[portu]

Yeah, how can we blame Bono for these performances to be honest. Armas is the one picking him. Armas is the one who should take stick when he’s stubborn as all hell.

[FootBallAZ]

Lol nice work Richie

Such a bad ass

[FootBallAZ]

I don’t think he has earned it yet…. I really, really liked the way Achara moved on the pitch. Dwyer is going to be interesting to see today.

Anyone have a good stream? Footybites doesn't work for me anymore and the weird Russian site I also use has been shit quality lately.

Its well known ball bounces differently, Bono has a job regardless to perform

[tfcfans]

I can try to understand if you didn’t have mid-week games playing the same goalie (even if it’s the wrong one) - but playing one goalie every game with a compressed schedule, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

[ag futbol]

Wow they really misplayed that 2v1 and Gonzalez just closes them down.

[FootBallAZ]

Good save Bono

[MikeForbes]

Fresh legs, please.

[Slick]

Good save Bono

That was a routine save to be honest.

[portu]

This looks like a complete clusterfuck. The size of this pitch was supposed to help keep organized, according to Armas. There is no shape whatsoever some guys are walking, some guys are jogging, some guys are doing whatever the fuck they want. Jesus Christ this is actually embarrassing. At least when we played poorly under Vanney you could tell who was playing in what position.

[MikeForbes]

Mullinho time. And some other guy.

[ag futbol]

WHY are we taking that corner short??? Get it in the box!!!

Gotta support him I guess lol

Mullins
And DeLeon

[Auzzy]

I’m going to wildly speculate here that having diversity in the on-air personalities was one of the goals in all this.

If true, totally valid in my opinion. The people they have calling the games aren’t as diverse as the viewership or the players on the field. It’s ridiculous this has persisted for so long.

Now that said, I fail to understand why they fired their best soccer person with someone who doesn’t really seem to take naturally to bring on TV. There are lots of former players out there who are diverse and capable of being on air? Why not hire them? Why not get rid of basically any of their other on-air soccer personalities (they’re all completely mediocre) instead of KJ?

I was thinking of the diversity issue as well, and I agree with it. But I have a better way of achieving that than JDG in for KJ and others: how about Adrian Serioux instead of Caldwell? I have the broadcast on mute again because of Caldwell. I've liked Serioux when I've heard him (further experience will help). I think Wileman isn't that bad despite some annoying habits ("Canadian international..."), Wileman has also done a great job calling some of the iconic moments in TFC history.

[MightyDM]

would like to see Dwyer

[rydermike]

Westberg please

[FootBallAZ]

Lol mavinga

[OgtheDim]

Bono does that routinely at least once a game on long range shots. Goes down a bit & lets the ball bounce in on him and expects to pick it up in front of him. Usually, nobody is nearby. He got caught this time.

OK with the Jozy sub - he really can't go more then 60 each game as he just breaks down.

[portu]

That double save looked impressive at first but the first shot was literally half a foot from him and played that rebound straight back into the middle of the box

[MikeForbes]

Bono has a ball hit him: Great save!!!!!!
