Toronto FC: World Cup Brazil/TFC Thread

[91Stammer*]

I agree with you guys. But my point was, why do you give the ball away when you can pass it to other player? I didn't see any good cross too. They were either going out or out of our teammates' reach.

Whenever Bradley cleared the ball up to set up our strikers, most of the times they got it. I want that if it's all you can do. I don't mind with low possession game but it's really important not to give possession away for nothing.

pretty much an awful game they looked like a 2002 MLS team... everyone sucked. No one wants to say it because he's a young Canadian with good potential but Henry was AWFUL... Morrow bad again, Orr sucks... Bloom should NOT be in the MLS, Like wow on another level of bad... Bradley really forced to play D all game. The absences of Osorio and Jackson were very noticeable. Lets get these guys back quick... Im not mad or surprised this was the question from the beginning of the year, can the depth guys give enough support to the foundation? Well when 2 starters get injured and suspended that's a hard accomplishment. Still optimistic about a top seeding though.

Brutal. Bad enough we lost the way we did last week but to come away with possible injury to a key player is salt in the wound. If he's gone this week hopefully Gilberto and DeRosario can fill the void.

Defoe is injured with an unknown timetable for return
Lowry is injured with an unknown timetable for return
Reyes is injured with an unknown timetable for return

Fantastic.

Im convinced this city's sporting arena's are built on some ancient Native American burial grounds its the only explanation at this point there's no way we could be THIS unlucky otherwise.

Jeez why can't we have good things?

Defoe is out, and Caldwell as well. Great, just great. As if our backline and midfield can sustain more injuries.

*I should add Caldwell is a suspension as well. Not an injury, but it's still bad.

Is Bradley going to be back this weekend or is he still going to be with the US team?

I swear a Toronto team can't have sustained success without something getting in the way. I could handle the loss last weekend but the injuries are really becoming an issue.

Yeah he'll be back. We're going to need him to.

Henry now out along with Osorio still. Fantastic.

 

[Quares27]

Henry, Osorio, Caldwell, Defoe, Morgan all out tomorrow lol

Who knows what will happen though... While Columbus are a good team they aren't RSL by any means, and Caldwell and Henry didn't exactly look good last week so maybe Hagglund/Boss/Richter can put in a good showing. Bloom back at RB and Jackson back at RM strengthens the team a little bit at least.

 

[TMLeafer]

They're going to have to get their scout to play again. Anyone remember?

They used their scout (Regan) who played a year or two before then as a defender and some guy from a lower league (Rick Titus) for a game when they had injuries and national team call ups.

Game today at 4 30 on sportnet360 thefirstrow.eu for a live stream

 

[thehockeysong]

Depth was always going to be this team's weakness, so I can't wait to see if they can overcome the adversity of this battered lineup. Hoping for a great game!

its actually at 6 no? and how is the line up looking today with the injuries and suspensions. I'm sure we'll get the full lineup back within the next two weeks because the injuries seem like small knocks.

Also anyone know how long Bright Dike is out for I love the way he plays he brings a great presence off the bench as a substitute striker and can start in the MLS.

 

[Quares27]

Right now TFC has 20yo New Zealand international Tim Payne training with them and could sign him soon... the more depth the better, and he could be a good signing at only 20. He will be a free agent in May/June so he would presumably be a permanent signings rather than a loan from Blackburn.

 

[Mathew]

Ya sorry game is at 6.. my bad

 

[Shimso]

Henry, Osorio, Caldwell, Defoe, Morgan all out tomorrow lol

So to revise my earlier post:
Henry, Osorio, Caldwell, Defoe and Morgan are injured or suspended
Lowry and Johnson are injured
Reyes and Janssen are injured
Bernier is injured

Faaaaantastic.

At least all 4 teams are playing today.

 

[Quares27]

TFC lineup

Gilberto
Dero
Rey Bradley Bekker Jackson
Morrow Hagglund Orr Bloom
Cesar

Not that bad considering the injuries... Bekker is a good choice, TFC had so much more possession vs RSL when he came on compared to Hall. Hopefully the CBs can have a good game

 

[Quares27]

Bradley! What a start from TFC. Dominating a quality Columbus team in Columbus through 15 minutes. Actually holding possession for once

 

[Mathew]

Woot Bradley

 

[Mathew]

Lol could no finish

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

TFC looking in great form here.


Great defensive play there.
