I would have liked to see Vancouver/TFC for an all Canadian match up but I guess I don't mind to see TFC knocking NYCFC out of another cup game. Night game this time. Let's see some offense and hopefully Mavinga and Gonzalez can play a full 90 so we are not messing with the backline part way into the game.
AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
Practice Penalties, ya dummies!!!
Haha yeah no kidding. Have to pray that it never goes to penalties and also we need to make sure NYCFC doesn't get any red cards because that always affects TFC negatively for some reason too. That could be the worst scenario for TFC....NYCFC gets a red so goes into a bunker to play for the draw then goes to penalties. That is a nightmare night for TFC fans.
Practice penalties and hope they do not need to play a man up.

This looks like our route ....
Seattle vs Toronto for the final is ON!!!
Q
Auro- Gonzo- Mavinga - Laryea (can morrow get in yet or still out? have we heard how long?)
Bradley - Delgado
Piatti - Poz - Endo (Oso and Deleon to sub)
Ayo (Jozy to sub)
Laryea doing a bang up job in my books (on both sides). Think hes starting before end of the season but maybe hasnt cemented the starters role just yet.
I actually prefer Lareya coming in as a sub winger, but with Morrow out we have no choice, he is doing quite well as a defender on the left, we don't want to fart around with the Spanish connection on the right side, would like to see Piatti bag a goal or two. I really liked his strike from outside of the box against Montreal, again my bane is TFC not wanting or incapable of striking outside of the box, trying to be a bit too tricky and fucking it up.
I bet if there is a penalty situation, Sean Johnson simply stands in the middle against Pozuelo.
Then Pozuelo will do this. Plus there was another one where he went hard to the right. Maybe that was even against NYC?

Although the first Panenka against Johnson was delicious. About the slowest one I've ever seen.
Tomorrow night can not come soon enough, let the Reds knock out NYCFC once again !

You cannot just practice penalties for a few days. That is exactly what got England into trouble with PKs for decades.
This is a fabulous book on the subject

In Italy, Spain and Germany, PKs are taught, practiced every day, monitored, and personalized. In all club training. It has been that way for decades.
You want to be good at this as an institution? You have to start five years before you need to be good at it.
"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
Oh, I agree with you ensco.
But this team notoriously does not take pens seriously and gets antsy if it goes to them.
My memory is they practiced them once before the 3 MLS cup finals and not once at all before the CCL final or the Voyageurs final of last year. Even if you do it once, you are better off mentally then going into it cold.
I always look for
I love NYCFC games. Lots of goals and we usually win.
We're struggling to think of a bar patio with good screen/TV to watch it. Does anyone have any ideas?
