Vaz was a HUGE loss. Da guy had creativity with ball and passing. 3 steps ahead. We never recovered that midfield skill.
Altidore is a finisher. Poz is a tweener. Bradley is on decline - he can't ball hog like he used to.
This new guy is a fly down wing guy who wins by outspeeding and out powering bigger defenders on wing for ball. then skilled enough to make a touch pass for a goal. or he can make a power move to net to strike. Without his speed and power he may not help us out much. If he comes back to old form then we are gonna see magic every game.

Poz's distribution has been a fine replacement. We are just missing consistent goal threats now that Seba is gone and Altidore's health continues to dwindle.
Schaffelburg, Endoh, Mullins, Gallardo were not consistent attacking threats. Piatti should help that and convert more of Poz's created chances.
I'm most interested to see how they play off of each other.
I'm still nervous about the D.

Should be fun! Especially with a healthy Jozy and the underrated Oso in the mix as well.
Nervous about the D? Won't matter if we are scoring 3 goals a game :p

Achara underwent successful surgery today to repair his ACL. Hoping for a swift recovery for him!

This is the right call. Sucks for the development of some young TFC/Canadian players, but overall I 100% stand with this decision!

Under the circumstances, I was impressed with quality of the MLS broadcast last night. It was very creative with the camera angles, and instead of fake crowd noise, the natural sounds of the game were amplified. They also had various fans viewing the match from their homes being shown on the big screen.
Overall, it was very enjoyable for the first live sporting event I've watched in several months.
Looking forward to Sunday!

A little easier for them to nail it first time, they have had all the European games to draw on over the past month and a bit.

Don't think so? As per the MLS briefing, there was one positive and one inconclusive.
One of the DC players was left off the game sheet.

This is very unfortunate. I'm obviously very disappointed, but there are much bigger issues at play. Fingers crossed that this situation gets sorted out and is under control.

Some encouraging reports this afternoon that both players had false positives and have tested negative since then. The match might be played tomorrow morning.

As a consequence of that move....the Montreal Gazette is reporting that the Impact's game against TFC has been pushed back to Thursday evening at 8pm. And, yes, the DC United game will be played tomorrow morning at 9am.
