No messing around - let's see the best XI and for longer than a half. Vancouver is a bit more organized even if they look like shite.
I'm assuming the game is on One Soccer which I watch through FuboTV -- is there anyone else not seeing it on the schedule of One Soccer through the Fubo website for Tuesday? Do these things get updated regularly?
Praying for no Gareth Wheeler on commentary.
For some of you back in the day grungers...
It's been 'Slow' getting to the precipice of something better... cause TFC 'Have Not Been The Same'... until yesterday.

Culture shock time for our new Italians. Welcome to playing on one of the worst carpets in MLS in front of 4000 fans and in a late time zone.
Yeh, for probably the first time ever, Vancouver actually is prioritizing the Voyageurs ...they rested players on Saturday.
*******
They will attempt a press & I suspect a 5-4-1. Gressel will be up for a tussel with Insigne - he's got something to prove.
The bounce & different pace of the ball on the pitch will mean the usual ground based passing capabilities of Kaye & Bradley & Jesus will be reduced - good thing we just brought in a bunch of guys who adapt quickly & know how to pass the ball to people in the air. Switch sides at pace like we did on Saturday & we should take this.
I think Oso will have a monster game - he knows how to play on this pitch.
Insigne knows how important this game is & has probably sought out advice from Italians who played on carpet before - he is by all accounts...meticulous. He will struggle a bit in the weight necessary in passes because everybody does the first game on turf.
But, his quality of movement, especially when paired with Criscito, will kill Gressel who never really was the best at being a defender.

Mill street closes at 11pm on Tuesdays, doesn't it. Any other destinations for the game? Patio preferred but not required.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing for when the EPL starts. Curious to see how that all works out for them.
Good thing is that I've probably contacted them before every CMNT and TFC game that's going to be aired to make sure it's being played and their response time is no longer than 15-20 mins, so that's good at least. Bad news is that they usually say the guide will be updated and it takes sometimes until the day of for it to get fixed..making recording the game a bit more difficult
I like Fubo but that is the one part of the service that is crap. Their guide is never up to date properly mainly for One Soccer. Many times I go to the One Soccer website to check their guide then just tune in at the time and the game is always on despite the Fubo guide. Sometimes it updates but last minute. Sometimes not at all. Not sure what is so complicated for them to fix that. Been like that ever since Fubo got One Soccer.
Here are the betting odds for this match:
https://www.oddsportal.com/soccer/ca...o-fc-baWQvT0A/
Right now, at 10:54 AM ET, the average odds for a Vancouver win are +127, for a draw are +234 and for a TFC win are +179. (All odds are for the 90 minutes regulation time, extra time, penalties does not matter here.)
As you can see TFC is not getting any love whatsoever from the bookies.
If I would bet, I guess an extremely safe play would be TFC +0.25 -126 (average odds.)
Odds are dropping in favor of TFC (though not a lot so far), which is always a good sign!

I didn't see Kaye in any of the photos from the team travelling to Vancouver. Hopefully he's made the trip and is available after coming off with injury. Looks like Mavinga made the trip - hopefully he's ready to go (and is in an okay place mentally), even if it's off the bench. I feel like he can step up when the pressure is on.
Any word if any sort of watch party happening in Toronto anywhere??
Unless I'm missing something, I haven't seen or heard of anything...
You would think think TFC/ML$E would continue the hype train of the new player arrivals, big win on Saturday, etc.
Sent them a note asking btw….
