I'd like to pull Seba and Jozy off now.

Great hustle by Bradley!
Vasquez is having one clunker of a game. He needs to get subbed out. Just one of those games

Big time play by Bradley.
Edit: not even a corner?
We're going to get burned and learn things the hard way playing a 2 man back line. Backs are really high, and Bradley wandering pretty far up. Too much space, and one of the central defenders doesn't have Marvell Wynne type speed. Some teams will completely exploit this, a few counters and long balls and could hurt.
That said - if we've already netted 2-3 because of a potent high press offense, maybe we can afford to let in a goal or two.

Aren't head bands allowed? My ears a freezing just looking at these guys.
Osorio has been impressive so far - and scored a crucial away goal. Hope he gets his fair share of chances this season although I doubt he will if we sign that spanish dude
Crapids going full thug mode now. Sub the whole damn team off
Disgusting tackle there on Auro
Jesus, Vanney, get Seba, Jozy, VV off the field!

Oso and Seba are the best players on the pitch. Don't pencil Aketxe into the XI yet
Money
Omg yea!
Bravo!
Wow seba
Auro ..welcome to tfc!!
I'm already feeling like it'll be a waste to have one of Van der Wiel and Auro on the bench at all times. I don't know if there's a realistic way to play both of them at once though.
Gio! Sweet cross by Auro!
The Rapids defence on that goal looked really really bad. I get its cold but nobody moved towards the ball - it was like watching a scrimmage.
It does look a little like they are gassed more so than TFC.
extreme cold, on a mountain basically 10 weeks after winning the cup and they aren't there yet mentally with the time off, but they are still playing hard and sharper than you'd have expected this far into the game.
I'm really interested to see this team in form.
There is some good things from Colorado too. Once they get in form they will be a much better side than they were last year.
Oso I looks interested.
Seba looks healthy.
Bradley solid as usual.
Auro, impressive debut in freezing conditions.
Overall I'd say a good start.
Happy happy.
Weak card by the ref
Stupid yellow to Bradley.
yay. Hamilton got off the bench before Spencer lol

Great job by the team. Five star performance to start the year i’d say.
Bradley should have taken a red to clear the slate
