What a comeback, down 2-0, they rise like a phoenix from the ashes and are up 3-2 wow.

 

[Pinto]

What a first half from Gio. Hat trick and and inch away from a 4th

 

[Hadoop]

Gio is such a beast.

 

[SpeakerForTheDead]

Giovinco is having a game for the ages today. Holy ****!

A hat-trick which could have been 4 goals if he didn't hit the post on that penalty. Another post just minutes ago and almost setup another one.

Just fantastic all around.

 

[Quarter]

Seba da GOAT

 

[Auston Matthews]

Villa would not have scored that anyway hows that a penalty

 

[Deebo]

That's not a penalty.

 

[SpeakerForTheDead]

Ballouchy being a *****

 

[Auston Matthews]

I want Perquis to lose it again after the match

 

[SpeakerForTheDead]

**** yeahhhhhahhahahahahhhhhhhh!

****ing Gio!

What was Vanney thinking of bringing Creavalle into the match, and what was Creavalle thinking with that horrid touch??

That right there lost us two points.

 

[Quares27]

I'm just going to pretend that game didn't happen... at the end of the day we got 1 point on the road which is good especially missing a bunch of players

In terms of performance Giovinco was obviously unbelievable. Konopka was atrocious and has completely worn out his welcome in the goal. If Bendik isn't starting next week that is a huge problem. Jackson was also really good and should be starting at the moment. Creavalle made some good interceptions and it's not his fault 5 TFC defenders let the ball go right through them to the back post, and then left a guy for a completely free header. I'm not sure why TFC fans scapegoat him for absolutely everything even when it's clearly not his fault.

But once again, a point on the road in these circumstances is good. We're 3rd in the East with enough games in hand to take 1st place. Things are looking solid

That last goal was totally his fault... the ball was going wide of the goal and he put it into the play... and right back to NYC.

Brazil against Canada u-21 action if anyone is interested. livestreams on thefirstrow.eu Or on SN

 

[AlienWorkShop]

Why has Konopka been starting over Bendik this year? I originally assumed Bendik was injured, but then he started that Canada cup game. I don't watch TFC too often, but I was under the impression Bendik was at least adequate, while Konopka was our 3rd stringer at one point, no? Haven't been too impressed by Konopka in the highlights I've seen, but haven't been able to watch much this year...

As if in a split second with the ball coming quick towards you and a defender behind you you're going to just let it roll... I believe the ball also deflected off a TFC player across the goal so he'd be giving away a corner pointlessly. It's an average defensive play that looked bad because nobody else did their jobs before or after the clearance.

And even if it was an awful play (which it wasn't), it was only one. Konopka was horrible on the first two goals and gave away a penalty, and Perquis gave away a penalty and scored an own goal, so why arent people talking about them? Like I said, people have already decided they are going to scapegoat Creavalle for anything. Not one person has mentioned he saved a clear 1v1 later on in the game with an amazing interception when TFC got caught upfield.

 

[Quares27]

Steven Caldwell finally retired. Surprised it didn't happen already considering he hasn't played in months. Now we can finally go out and spend his huge cap hit on a starting centerback to upgrade on Zavaleta/Hagglund. Good stuff

edit: apparently only half of his cap hit comes off the books, not sure though

That shirt is Awesome!!! Anyone know if they're selling them? I looked on the TFC shop and didn't see them.

 

[JohnnyO]

The TFC online shop seems pretty sparse.

 

[Auston Matthews]

Would John Terry consider coming to TFC?

 

[theaub]

If he wants to make $500K per year sure.

Well there's talk about a 4th DP becoming available pretty soon.
