Gonna say 1-1 draw. Pozuelo scores from the spot for TFC.
Interesting to see how we come out. I don't think we are as bad as we looked vs NYRB. I think that was more about having a bunch of kids starting in a home opener with a full(ish) house. Hopefully we see the better, but still not perfect, amount of focus they showed on the road.
And start anyone but Bono. Even Ranjitsingh. Enough is enough already.
Having Shaff and JMR at full back hurt us in the home opener as it was a new position for both - one maybe, but both was risky as we saw on goals 1-3
Agreed re Bono.
We looked really good for 50 minutes v Columbus. Now for 75…
I'm going to say 3-1 win. I don't think we are at the point where we can chalk this result up to being contenders, I just think we are due for a result. The soccer gods will give this to us.
2-1 win if Westberg in net2-2 tie if Bono in net
Osorio scores one of the goals in the first half
Happy to see that JMR is in full training this week. Was concerned that he sustained a real bad injury.
Ecuador int'l striker Michael Estrada is out for family reasons.

Now just need Kamara to catch a slight cold.
Not sure if it helps or hurts but Kamara has been on the trading block since the end of last season. They’re trying to move him before their Greek DP shows up in July.
Given the nineteen goals, not sure why. Ten of those were penalties so maybe they think they can do better, cheaper, given his age and salary. But he has two goals in the last two games, so if it’s affecting his mindset, it doesn’t seem to be in a negative way so far.
I've done some quick calculations:
if tfc loses the next two games (both are at home) tfc would have to average 1.62ppg to make the last playoff spot. this is not likely to happen that they will average 1.62ppg the rest of the way through
if tfc loses the next two games (both are at home) and then tfc loses its next game at real salt lake (which is almost guarranteed) tfc would have to average 1.67 ppg to make the last playoff spot. 1.67 ppg the rest of the way through is extremley unlikely to happen
if tfc loses the next two games (both are at home) and then tfc loses its next game at real salt lake (which is almost guarranteed) and then loses at home to Philadelphia and away at NYC (both extremely likely events) tfc would have to average 1.81 ppg to make the last playoff spot. 1.81 ppg the rest of the way through is impossible to happen
there is a definite possibility that this season will be over for tfc by the 3rd week of April.
to say this is a must win game for tfc is an understatement
I hope they've learned they're lesson from last time we faced a pressing team but I'm not that confident. I'd frankly take a draw at this point, even with how brutal our April schedule is.
I am absolutely OK with rebuilding years as long as the soccer is promising. That home opener wasn't promising, but last game was. Let's hope we can continue seeing promising soccer out of this team until Insigne shows.
I'm seeing a 2-2 draw.
I really don't know that Man U has 'far better' players than the Spanish champions
Either way, Saturday should be a fun game to continue seeing what the youths can do. If the fair-weather fans drop off until we're winning I won't lose any sleep, I fancy our chances to do something decent on Saturday. I've far bigger worries about our FO than the team right now
All day rain tomorrow
Intrigued how the pitch will look
