nolando Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 live right now - sweet - CBC lets me watch this even though Im overseas. It was forcing me to circumnavigate through a proxy for large parts of last year. http://www.cbc.ca/video/popup_slp.html?http://usl.playonsports.tv/media/video.asx?type=event&eventId=4108 I think Reda is the only Canadian playing tonight for the Battery - wonder where the other guys are?

VPjr Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 this is perhaps the worst soccer match I've seen TFC play. Absolutely horrific in all phases of the game. charleston leads 1-0 at the half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Mouth Soup Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Oh sweet Jesus-an Easter Egg hunt on the pitch at half time? And the players who stayed out during half to kick around 'should get out of the way' according to the stadium announcer. I'd boot it at the kids. /unclaimed eggs causing injury? Insanity...

I was just going to post how lame that is. But the same crap happens elsewhere in the USL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarnCherry Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Well this is the Charleston Battery organization. It's such a soccer mom and pop team that when they have a game the same time as a youth soccer tournament is in the area, the crowd for the Battery drops by 75%.

devioustrevor Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 This game was an embarrassment. The only players who deserved to be on the pitch tonight were Dichio, Samuel and Gall. Velez and Edwards looked mediocre, and tonight mediocre was 2nd best. Completely unacceptable. Cunningham is stealing money at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPjr Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Velez played the worst I've seen him play yet. Brittain didn't show me anything. I've got no opinion on Edwards because the first goal wasn't his fault and I missed the 2nd goal. Samuel did impress me. His fitness has improved tremendously. He might actually be useful this year. i just don't know if he is actually all that skilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Nigel's blog, Robinson was back in Wales dealing with a personal matter. Hopefully it quickly resolved and not of too serious a nature. db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Toronto FC Lineup: Brian Edwards, Marco Velez, Tyrone Marshall, Pat Phelan, Jim Brennan, Martin Brittain (Jarrod Smith 67), Joey Melo (Todd Dunivant 67, Gabe Gala 89), Kevin Harmse, Collin Samuel, Jeff Cunningham (Danny Dichio 77), Kevin Gall Charleston Battery Lineup: Dusty Hudock, Tim Veltan, Marco Reda, John Wilson, Nelson Akwari, Darren Spicer, Osvaldo Alonso, Pato Aguilera, Mike Richardson, Lester More(Aaron King 59), Randi Patterson (Kendall Jagdeosingh 84) Where were Chin, Hughes, Bennett, and Stewart, I wonder? Have Charleston gone and pulled a TFC on us and yanked the Canadian content? ;> That was my main reason for flipping it on in the first place.

MM2 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Chin and Bennett are playing indoor in MISL. I don't think Hughes was invited back. Stewart should still be with the team. quote:Originally posted by nolando Where were Chin, Hughes, Bennett, and Stewart, I wonder?

Never mind..just found this - we should take them off the master list i guess - could any of these guys fill out the tfc reserves, i wonder? http://www.usldiscussions.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=print_topic;f=28;t=002155 Posted by JBG - Bribe Taker (Member # 415) on 02-20-2008 10:13 AM: Now that the roster has been updated, let's clear things up. The following players apparently won't be back either (maybe some of them left before the end of last season) Ian Bennett Anthony Catalano Gordon Chin Jeremy Gold Chris Gores Jordie Hughes Amando Romero Lee Sandwina Michael Todd Kenny Uzoigwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPjr Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 ^ I watched Bennett play indoor once recently on a game broadcast on FSWC. He's very skillful but it is very hard to translate those skills on display in arena soccer to the full 11v11 game. Unlike some other people, I've never seen him play 11v11 in person.
