    With what occurred with Fede after the match against ATLUTD, does he currently still have four or perhaps now five yellow cards and will miss the next match by accumulation?

    Plus I do wonder if this is the first time we see Thomas Romero in net? SJ has a busy week with the US-Mexico match in Phoenix on Wednesday night. He is the likely starter against Mexico and will have a lot of training, travel, re-generation going on with a midweek match out west. Will be interested to see how this plays out.

    Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!

    I'm going to go out on a limb and predict this ends in a draw.

    Likely? Though I would still prefer SJ between the uprights for all these matches; a best gloves forward thing for me.

    at what point will we stop taking these draws ? TFC has been so bad over the past 3 seasons that - we have lowered our expectations to a season full of draws?

    do you expect TFC to win this year?

    Maybe we can be like Portugal in Euro 2016. In their 7 games, they had 6 draws after 90 minutes (Group stage - Draw, Draw, Draw, Extra Time Win, PK Win, Win, Extra Time Win). We can go 1-32-1

    This is all situational.

    Philly away? I'll take that draw

    Not all that happy with a draw at home vs Atlanta

    Would not accept a draw vs. NYC at home

    But what is the 2023 Parley kit? Seems like MLS dropping the ball with their own advertising this season. Usually we would have seen something and had some spam links dropped on SM sites or emailed before the Parley kit match week came up.

    They're kinda ugly and feel like polyester, so people didn't want them. Now, they're going for more than list price on the resale market due to scarcity, allegedly.

    This was the same rationale that made me look at a comic book rack in 1984 and say "Ptttf... Teenage Mutant Ninja TURTLES? Nobody's going to buy that."

    This is the weekend I have been dreaming about. Getting on Season Pass, clicking on games … and having zero idea which teams are playing.

    This is a real chance of an upset, Philly are definitely prioritizing CCL. It's a pity they have LA and not a daunting trip to Mexico, but still, we should go out and attack

    On the MLS store you can buy Philly in the Darker kit which would mean we are going to be the lighter kit for this year again. I don't see TFC for sale anywhere yet so cannot confirm, but we won't both be wearing dark lol

    Edit: never mind it's on the mls Canadian website for sale

    They're still tough. I've watched a few of their games this year and they're fighting for every ball, every shot. They've had some defensive miscues and bad results after travelling, and Blake was out for several games.

    But he's back. So it'll be tough.

    Agree, it could be a tough match. Probably a draw; middling club chance at 12/28 and statistically fair-ish. However, I do think they can be had. Maybe the return of Lolo and Adama give us that edge? Also, hopefully Fede is playing and not out on any accumulation; given what may have occurred at the end of the last match? In this instance, I will accept a draw, yet would prefer a win, so TFC does not set any new club record!

    For sure, to be clear, we're still underdogs and I'd take a draw all day, but there's definitely more chance of an upset now as they go deep in CCL than ever

    That is too funny, i don't need the plastic kits to be confused. It took me a while to figure out that Portland were playing Seattle

    It's going to get tougher and tougher justifying those draws with Insigne back, though. Even though it does seem statistically likely. People expect wins with both Italians on the pitch (or all three, I suppose. Props to Petretta.)

    Yeah, as with Seattle last year. They were deadly in CCL but looked half-asleep in the league. They looked like last season's Sounders in the game against Portland on the weekend. Came out flying, absolutely dominant, then took Leo Chu off...and went to sleep.

    That chart above doesn’t make me feel better about what happens when TFC clusters draws like that.

    for what it's worth, those 2010 and 2013 TFC teams went on to start losing games, not winning them. The 2010 slide led a complete blowup of everything, including the departure of Dero, Mo and Preki.

    I know I know, different time, different team…. Anyways, carry on
