Beat me to the punch.
We're getting nothing; they're getting every call in sight.
I think Yohan has the trademark on it.
Holy shit this ref is giving Philly everything they ask for.
This game would much better if people stayed on their feet.
Physical game.
That should've been a goal. Ouch.
Damn. Jumped up. That looked in for a second
O'Dea has not been good on offensive headers.
Damn. That was close. They could have had one there.
Shit. We're running out of fullbacks.
Who body checked silva in the head while he was standing up. Blindside with no class....
That hustle , I never really liked le toux...... seeing him on his ass provided a good laugh.
One of the worst displays of reffing I've seen recently. Not on big calls, but on a great number of small ones. Fouls that shouldn't be fouls, non-calls, throw-ins called for the wrong team. Very frustrating.
There is no way Cruz should still be on the field for that challenge. That was gross! Shitty reffing.
Decent half on the road all in all. We've had a couple good chances. When we get the ball on the ground in the feet of Silva and Ephraim we look dangerous. We just have to create one chance for Earnshaw because he'll score it.
Looking for Bostock to come in at some point and make an impact. I think I'd do a straight swap for Lambe. Ephraim's been solid and so has Braun, he's performing his Koevermans-lite hold up role well.
Lambe and Ephraim are much better at a pressing and defensive game than Bostock, I think I would keep them on for a while, especially at the start of the second half. Bostock on with 20 minutes to go if we feel easy enough to let off the pressing game a bit.
Refs giving the Canadian team the short end of the stick again. Lambe coming back deep to make some nice defensive plays. Richter is a turnover machine and Braun had the touch of a rapist when he could have been alone in on goal.
I'll take that at the half. I just wonder when we'll see what style we're gonna be playing this year. I hope we're playing the long ball up to earnshaw as a matter of necessity and not as a game plan.
We need a couple of chances early in the second half to keep philadelphia honest or we'll be taking wave after wave of attacks from them.
Feel bad for Frei because Bendik looks really strong.
May be TFC bargain signing of the season. I don't know of Bendik was just an afterthought on that Johnson/Kocic trade or not, but if KP deliberately asked for Bendik, it may be more of a coup than in our wildest dreams (value wise)

another good save by Bendik

Interesting thought: who would you take Donovan Ricketts or Bendik? With salary taken into account I think it's a no brainer.
jebus... how did that not go in?

I hate watching games in this stadium due to the absolutely lame design of the roof. It's bad enough to have one major shadow crawl across the field from a roof or a high stand but for the architects to leave the space between the roof and stand open causing even more distractions to the eye clearly shows that they didn't have a clue about designing a sports facility.
We are just asking to be scored on at this point. We can't continue to defend like this and have no credible attack to speak of.
Ricketts is a has been.
More I think about this, more I think it may be a deliberately move by KP as you can sign a decent Yank GK for cheap. If KP was looking for a quality back up, Kevin Hartmann was available till couple of weeks ago

LOL
boooom.
good retribution from Morgan
This officiating crew is awful.
This is ping to be a red and wtf why is a ref backing away.
And this is racists.
Does anyone else feel like barfing when they hear chants of "USA"?! I mean really guys, with all your problems, could ya just?!
Is there any way to watch this on my iPhone? The two stream links on previous page don't seem to cooperate.
