    It is officially the day of the game. The buzz around this team seems to have become non-existent on social media. It would be nice to get some of that back with a tidy 2-0 win.

    Interested to see how the pitch looks, there were some really bad patches on south east side of the field.

    Yeah. I have to say Manning’s overall skill running of the club is not great. For an organization like MLSE, that has a lot of leading people on the marketing / fan entertainment side of the business (especially with the raptors), TFC has not kept the same standard.

    It’s gone way downhill since the PR team was absorbed into the Leafs / Raptors group. Not a surprise, really.

    But it’s game day! With the YUTES

    I think we see Q

    Going to my first game of the season. How long does it take to enter? They're still doing the vaccine passport right? Notice it says that on my ticket. I remember the Canada games took a long time. Just wondering how early to get there for

    No more vaccine passport since the start of the season.

    Ticket demand seems low today. Getting into the last home game was quick despite relatively good attendance. However at the gate I went to, there seemed less staff than in the past. So basically: low attendance should mean quick entry, unless they really scrimp on gate staff if they know demand is low. I can't see it taking very long though. Gate 1 (and sometimes Gate 3) does get busy though due to many last-minute arrivals.

    Ok great, I wasn't sure. Thanks for the update.

    Yup. Jimenez said in the presser yesterday that he's comfortable playing there but prefers striker and prefers left side to right when wide.

    Ayo played as a wide forward for much of his youth time but, like Jimenez, is obviously more comfortable as a no 9.

    I do think it's Pozuelo's potentially best position as he ages, as he's cutting in constantly. It's not a "beat a guy to the touchline' game anymore unless you're an overlapping wingback, so...

    But we're seriously thin there and at fullback.

    Still not convinced Bono isn't accident-prone and a 'b' level keeper in this league.

    Michael Bradley is starting every game this season. Book it.

    Field playable - slightly better than 2 weeks ago.

    Crowd will be less but that's expected.

    Rain mostly stopped.

    I think he did well enough last week (he had seven tackles, leading both teams) that he deserves to start this week. Having said that, seeing him in a midfield two is a bit terrifying.

    Alright. I'll be back at halftime to discuss what we've seen. Fingers crossed it is a positive talk.

    At this point he is probably best suited at CB. His legs are too far gone to shield the backline anymore.

    Not moving enough of the dual-color shirts?

    Can only remember a couple of other occasions when we weren't red at home.

    Goddamn, I hate how Toronto crowds never show up on time. I've only been to three games because I live in Edmonton, but in each case we were a good 15-20 min from the stadium and still managed to be in our seats, with food, at kickoff.

    McNaughton saving our blushes there with the positioning.

    Yeah, I think so too. But when they were announced they were heavily condemned online. Once you see people wearing them they're pretty sharp.

    That was good from Nelson. Excellent decision where choice wasn’t obvious. Forcing it across goal would have been useless.

    Nelson sure is skilled but sure is raw. Not great decision making.

    One minute, he's forcing a save, the other, he's giving up the ball in the defending third...

    Blown coverage. Nelson let the man run in, Petrasso didn't leave the back post runner.

    Kids, kids, kids.

    lol @ Nelson just ignoring his man in his own box.

    At least Bono saved the breakaway 20 seconds into the match.
