NBC goes one way, ESPN goes another. If you look at the MLSsoccer.com TFC preview, a couple of guys on there think Vanney is the most likely first fired coach.
I feel this team is being realistic. Playoffs the goal. Best TFC team on paper. Not many obvious holes (wide play and defensive depth). Lots of work to do and lots of people willing to do that work. BUT, 7 away games (+ a Voyageurs Semi 1st leg away) is tamping down expectations. That's a good thing. IF we come out of those 7 games with anything more then 9 points, its a bonus.
