According to his Instagram, Mavinga had a doctor/medical professional in from France to work with his ankle and make sure he's good to go for the game vs NYCFC.
So all of the MLS website seems to think we have no chance and NYCFC fans are quite confident that we only did well against them because we only played their "B" team earlier this year so they are quite overconfident about their chances too. Time to spoil the party. Let's go boys!!! Not many non-TFC fans thought we would get past DC either with Jozy and Omar out. I know NYCFC are a different team than DC but I always thought their results were skewed a bit by them always having that home field advantage all year long every year. Good thing is TFC seems to adapt to it alright. I have never been wowed by NYCFC ever. Sure they are a decent team but never really stood out that much. I guess we will see. Maybe I will be wowed tomorrow Hopefully I am but it is the team in red doing it.

So NYCFC did play a closed door friendly vs Chicago a few days ago...so not completely out of game playing for the time they were off...
So - where are non-travelling supporters watching the game tomorrow?
Planning to watch at Real Sports.
This is off topic.

No. Real Sports is open again since the hockey and bball re-started.
I was surprised when I got the email from MLSE that the party they were hosting was at the Brazen Head. I figured they would be at Real Sports since it's bigger/more suited to viewing.
This private event has probably been booked for months. I've been to a few private events there for work. The timing sucks though.
Before the DC game most of the MLS.com guys were predicting a DC win. They ate their words. Now they're all predicting a NYC win. I sure as hell hope we make them choke on those words.
The guys are motivated.
I honestly think we are favourites -if Omar and Jozy can play.
This B team stuff, whatever. It's MLS and we have the proven studs. Mitrica and Heber blah blah blah - they played in Croatia and Romania! Our better players have massive league, Concacaf, international, and World Cup experience.
NYCFC's stars have done nothing in their lives to confirm that they can do anything on this stage. The way to bet it is that they won’t.
Also, this contrived home field advantage of theirs will bite them in the ass now. It'll be a cavern with zero atmosphere. They don't know Citi Field and it’s bounces etc any better than we do.
I don't think we will lose. If our stars can go, it'll be 3-0 TFC. If they cannot, and it's extra time, that does worry me, just because we will run out of gas.

"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
Heber and Moralez are good, but not top echelon of players in the league. More like next level down. We can definitely win if all our starters can play.
Whoever said NYCFC deserve to lose because of that ridiculous pitch was right on.
Ok it's official. I can no longer concentrate at work until after the game....
