Its ok when Messi comes Insigne will be a bench player anyway.

I think we play Messi in the false-9 role and go with the Torontolona set up.

 

[HoseEmDown]

I see they still use the away goals rule in the Champions league, sucks for Orlando to go out without losing a game.

4-0-0. 20 degrees outside and the stadium was hopping.

Crazy night for this league.

Almada's free kick was out of this world, Montreal score 2 in the 90th to win the game and have one of the strangest VAR moments I have seen while watching footie, and TFC win on one of the colder March games I can remember.

Metro wins after unleashing Dante's Inferno in the 86' minute to win 2-1 over the Crew. Sparse crowd on a freezing cold night, the MLS people need to have a chat with the Apple folks about mandating 7:30 starts in March and early April, places in the north or midwest should at least be kicking off during the day.

Pic of the full time whistle being blown.

This has definitely been the sentiment in Toronto as well. BMO being on the Lake makes it brutally cold this time of the year.

I cannot stop watching this goal!

I nearly passed out here after seeing what they're charging for the MLS all star game in DC this summer. 200 dollars for the supporters section, before the likely 60 dollar fees?

f*** that.

Prices go up when you are welcoming Arsenal on this side of the pond.

Its impressive, especially without going out there and getting any huge names.

Burki is a bigger name, but obviously a goalie only does so much. Pfannenstiel has done a great job of finding younger/prime age players from Europe that fit Carnell's system and then supplementing them with MLS talent. Klauss (26), Lowen (26), Ostrak (23), and Alm (27) have been great players, and then he added Stroud, Gioacchini, and Parker from the MLS and the combo is great. Add in a couple other young guys from various places (Blom, Hiebert, Perez) and here we are.

I'm still a little nervous about our FBs. Nelson and Nerwinski have been solid, but nothing more. However, given the system, it seems like that's all we need for now. We've also already had our depth tested, with Nilsson out the whole season and Parker/Nilsson/Blom/Vassilev all missing time for various reasons. So far, so good.

Obviously we're not going to win out the rest of the way, but the pundits definitely underestimated this team.

MLS refs, woof

Berna with an Olimpico for TFC. First one in club history

There were less than 5 MLS teams making money from RSN’s most were losing money. The Apple deals success has little dependence on what ends up happening with RSN’s.

Late reply:

What happened to the RSN’s that still had a year or two left on their deal with their respective teams? Did MLS or Apple buy those contracts out?

And as a fellow Galaxy fan, but you know much better than me, what has happened to our team? We’ve become extremely irrelevant in the city. We’re still living off the success during the Beckham-Donovan-Keane era. Nobody is wearing Galaxy gear in LA. It’s all LAFC, even the non-soccer fans. They just wear their hat because it looks cool and simple. Nobody is sporting a Galaxy hat unless it was a diehard fan. I never felt that the Galaxy catered to the city itself until LAFC became a legitimate threat. They tried too hard with the stupid “Since 96” slogan. We’ve become South Bay FC while LAFC is, well, LA FC.

Team has been garbage since 2014.

@robertmac43 I’m figuring out which TFC games to prioritize trying to get tickets for this year. Who are the teams to see?

Its always fun to be at BMO when Montreal comes to town if you can swing that.

Atlanta would be good but they are in town next weekend, St. Louis, maybe Inter Miami?

Ya for sure

I mean you nailed it haha. Basically the only reason to watch them.

Galaxy have won the most MLS championships and now they are the laughing stock of the league

What the actual f*** is Caceres doing here

 

[luiginb]

Caceres has been absolutely done since he was at Cagliari (2021), why are Galaxy still using him?

 

[les Habs]

Galaxy needs a goalscorer.
