    Who gave away the penalty here? Is that Chung?

    Well, we lost 3-0 to the Whitecaps.

    I know it's preseason, but it alarms me that we can't score goals with our best XI. Reminds me of late 2022.

    Well that new defense we all loved so much yesterday may need some time to gel too

    Our starters (sans Oso) played the first 45 and kept a clean sheet. So that's pretty good. The goals will come.

    It was 0 0 at ht and we missed a pen, their reserves beat our reserves.

    Which just shows the need for depth.

    In a 5 sub world, the need for depth is massive.

    Ibrahim worked out with some teams in the French First Division apparently but was not picked up.

    There's an entire match of his online on Vimeo, if anyone has the patience. Looks like he's quick, good with the ball at his feet. Can't tell much else.

    Let's hope for the best with these young players. I remember there was a bit of hype around Gideon Waja a few years ago. Also from Ghana and had two caps with the NT. Signed with TFC2, played two years with TFC2 and hasn't signed with anyone since.

    1 mill euros, 1.07 M USD for nelson. a little less than i would have hoped but he was in the last year of his contract.

    this opens up around 1.2 M in gam for tfc between nelson salary and sale $$.
    It’s $1m in GAM. Nelson’s salary was not on the budget. He was on the supplemental roster. Still good though

    yes, my bad.

    slightly more, if the 1 mill euro fee is accurate (1.07 M).

    No, believe that is Spanish, Madrid, Atletico youth, TFCII, midfielder... Alonso Coello Camarero. Does anyone know whether Fede missed the penalty or was it saved? If I was O'Neill and/or MacNaughton, I would not have appreciated the position they found themselves in with that second half line-up; maybe undeserving? Did any of the Ghanaians even play? How did Priso's brother perform?

    Maybe Michael Singh has misspoken/mistyped? Maybe I am interpreting, reading into it incorrectly? Is it being suggested that Deandre Kerr is out until 'next' season; that is the Y24 season and not (the beginning of) 'this'/Y23 season?

    only 3 mins of highlights here but looks like we should have been up by quite a few at half (when the starters played), a lot of missed chances here.

    YouTube! White Picket Fence Pitch! First half... not bad; chances, must finish. Has Fede not converted one of those before with TFC? I know Lolo has. Does anyone know if VWC had their A squad on against ours and then their B/C's against ours in the second half?

    they left their starters in for about 20 mins more, from what i could see.

    but yes, started their A team.

    Absolutely no reason to be concerned or make excuses. It is game one of a two week preseason. If Vancouver scores 3, it really doesn't matter. If TFC scored 3, it really doesn't matter.

    yep.

    i remember leeds absolutely worst pre season in the past decade (results wise) was the first one under bielsa, only wins were against amateur teams and got beat by league one sides.

    first game of the season proper the team turned up and ran stoke off the park, and only lost once in the first 12 games.

    they mean nothing, just want guys to get reps and stuff.

    The depth is really bad. Laughably bad. They need at least one full back.

    The XI looks great sure, but I’d put the over/under on the # of games that group starts together at 9.5. You need depth. 5 subs especially you need depth. It’ll be a train wreck if the fullbacks/an Italian or a midfielder goes down.

    I don't know, I look at the depth charts MLS put out this week for teams and there are worse - we seem to be about average.

    Yep, depth in mls is mostly non existent.

    We forget that our 2017 treble winning side had jay Chapman, Jordan Hamilton etc as depth..

    That being said we do need a couple more players in midfield.

    But I think we'll get them

    That's what we were told yesterday. €824,000 is $1.1M.

    It's pretty normal to get well under valuation when a player is in their final contract year.
