A good old Chicago Band
Don't care how many people are out. In this game, 3 points is the only acceptable result.

No Gilberto for this one.
I think we got this, too.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
Hopefully Seba can get the monkey off his back in this match, and pop a few goals.
New Chicago signing Michael de Leeuw will be available for this match, would be his first MLS appearance. Attacking midfielder from Groningen in the Eredevisie, 9 goals in 30 appearances for them this year, 17 goals in 28 appearances a year ago.
I don't want to start calling games "must wins" this early in the season, but we could really use some points in the bank. What worries me is Chicago knows they aren't going anywhere this year so the pressure is off. That can be a deadly combination. Just ask San Jose or Philadelphia. Hopefully Seba gets his groove back and he and Hamilton start clicking.
Injury update via Molinaro- might be a video later tody of the questions

With Altidore back in training today and assuming he is fit for Saturday I would love to see Greg go with something like this
Bono
Beithashour Moor Zavaleta Morrow
Cheyrou Osorio Chapman
Giovinco
Altidore Hamilton
Personally I think Zavaleta, Chapman and Hamilton deserve starts even though they aren't regulars. They have been solid when given their chance
Thoughts Reds??
If Jozy is fit I'd love to see a diamond with Seba behind Jozy and Jhams
i want perquis and moor out there
thats our best pairing, Zavelta is depth in 2016.
I would keep Chapman to see if he can build on last week, drop Osorio for someone who covers more ground.
I don't know if I'd start Altidore. Get him off the bench at 60 - let Hamilton keep going for the time being. Would be interesting if they could play together... but odds are against it.
-----Hamilton----Babouli----
------------Seba----------
----Oso------------Delgado--
-----------Cheyrou----------
-JM----Perquis---Moor---Beit-
------------Bono----------------
Subs: Jozy, Chapman, Bloom, Hagglund,Roberts, Endo
I'm not sure if Endo works better out wide and Degado should slide in, but I think thats the strongest we can do.
I also can see Williams fitting in the back 4 since his RC suspension is served.

I think Seba on the left with Hamilton central and Oso behind them is our best formation offensively at the moment. Endoh for me is better wide but is a defensive risk, so on the right and Delgado on the left.
that leaves Chapman out, which isn't fair, but not sure where to slot him in.
not sure where all the negativity towards Oso is coming from. He created both goals versus Orlando.

Years have gone by and Ive finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: A pretty move, for the love of God.
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

Ha missed that one. I was wondering why that looked so solid.
If TFC want to play Jham as a #9 then we would probably see something like
-------------------Jham---
------seba----------------
--Oso---babouli-----delgado
-----------cheyrou----------
-JM---Perq----moor--Beit-
-----------bono--------

Chicago has one offensive weapon - Accam coming in at speed with the ball from the left Everything else is hit and hope. I'd like to see Bloom over there on the right midfield. Otherwise Beitashour is going to be nailed to the back.
agreed
plus Osario needs some bench time to contemplate.
TFC twitter saying less then 1000 seats left.
Surprised.
^ Really impressed with attendance this year. I thought the new capacity would be too much to take on but they've been on-point.
Safe to saw Seba has been a big part of that? At this trajectory a 40k SSS down the road (a decade away, but still) wouldn't be completely crazy.

I think they have been benefiting from Euro Cup and Copa America attention.
Seba a part of it for sure but more importantly I think is that we made the playoffs last year and even though we're in a rough patch, we will be a playoff team this year. That's all that's really needed in this town to get people to come out. The town likes winners. The good weather lately hasn't hurt and I think the lid brings out more people during rain threats because they can beat some of the elements.
I'm pretty impressed by the attendance and when they announce the attendance it looks pretty accurate give or take, I thought 30 000 was too big and did not think they would have filled most of it like they have been doing so far. Last year they had so many games where the stadium was never even close to full, the upper deck on the east side was always so empty, and remember we had Seba last year too and it was his first year. I'm thinking the new renovations with the canopies has also increased the attendance people are also coming to check it out see what it looks like or maybe it's just the fact that TFC is becoming more relevant in Toronto and I also think MLS is becoming a little more popular also. It's still pretty fascinating considering TFC does not really get that much attention in the mainstream media TFC is definitely 5th in the mainstream media attention , the Argos are still in front in fourth and I would say receive a lot more coverage than TFC, with all this in mind the attendance is even more impressive considering all that.
TFC get some good mentions on CP24 a lot of the time and that's probably the most overall watched channel in the city when you think about it. Even the morning show on there mentions the team when home games are coming up and they've had players in a few times this season.
People said they would take the old stadium without the Argos... nobody ever said bad roof go away.
