On March 27th. 2022 Canada Jamaica World Cup qualifying at BMO it was something like -5 with strong winds probably one of the coldest games I’ve ever been to at BMO and that’s including both MLS Cups that Toronto FC played in that I attended. It will be cold tonight but I can’t see it being colder than on that day in 2022 .
I can't even give my tickets away for this one. I've never seen so many tickets listed on Ticketmaster, or such a price collapse.
That CMNT v Jamaica game was not the coldest BMO game I have been at.Originally Posted by SoccMan2
Disagree about the MLS Cup. The coldest was MLS Cup 2016, that was minus 12 and the wind was really blowing. The next coldest was probably the opener against Portland in 2011 (when the pipes froze).
There were also absolutely brutal early games in CCL against Colorado and a Panamanian team, which I did not attend. One of those was probably the absolute coldest.

I have 3 tickets to tonight’s game.
I can’t make it tonight as I have other obligations.
Anyone who would like to go to the game please message me. Tickets are complimentary.
Forecast now is to be 2 degrees at 7 p.m. So, cold, but nothing close to as bad as BMO has been.
If that holds, maybe I would play Fede. I sit Insigne no matter what.
Respect to those attending/watching, I am off to the Canada thread until tomorrow morning...

Kerr starts upfront. Spicy T with his first career start.

Hope Kerr's quicker on the press than he was last year. Didn't apply much pressure defensively and we require that now.
Atlanta's starters. Still got a few guys who can hurt you. Muyumba is a really solid CM.

I am concerned about the midfield. Coello has been a weaker link to start the season and Longstaff is still working his way back into game shape.
Yeh, that could have been a lot worse but still concerned about that midfield.
FWIW 3-4-3

Definitely missing Flores right now. Lots of room behind Longstaff and Coello.
that ball looks and prob feels like a concrete block lol
Spicer putting in crosses at the near post thinking "well I would be going there..." and Kerr doesn't go.
These guys are not used to speed that can cross the ball low & hard.
O'Neill has had lot of concussions - he might be gone here.
Shame about Shane. He has been our most improved player.
Alas, Mabika season is upon us.
Spicer's profile and movement just screams striker to me.
Yeh, neither of these midfields are all that good.
The #1 pick gets #1
You are so smart, man!
As you say!
Summer of Spicer
ya think?
noice, does that goal effectively put him above akinola on the pecking order now? lol
won't get the credit for it, but on the reply one will notice rosted taking the overlap on that insigne play and telling/pointing for spicer to make the inside run to overload box. Nice little team movement on that play. Seeing more and more in herdmans system he likes his outside CB's in the back three not being afraid to get forward to support if there is a need for more bodies into a space to support (o'neills be doing it for 3 games now b4 injury).
God I hope so
but
he's going to get levelled a few times if he does plays like that - MLS teams deal with speed only 1 way - they chop at it.
That was so pretty. A shame Kerr couldn't finish.
that sequence made me realize if we ever get deep enough in the roster I want to see a game with insigne and berna on the same side - berna playin WB lol (even for a single half). Imagine we had a proper taller #9 who was getting constant whipped crosses like that into a box (among freedom of being open cause that side of the wing would be so heavily defended)
