BringBackTheBlizzard Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Main story will probably be what happens in defence:- http://www.torontofc.ca/node/4309 Toronto FC Reports indicate centre back Nana Attakora missed training today and is doubtful for Saturday match against Dallas.

canucklefan Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 With a CCL game to be played in 4 days, it's going to be interesting what the starting XI will be for this game. To me there's no doubt, CCL is what matters. So I hope to see the big guns for the game against Motagua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I don't see why we can't field our full squad for both games, with maybe a few minor changes and full use of subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'm pretty sure we'll see DeRo, de Guzman and Mista in the starting lineup today...guess we'll see in about 10 minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Preki playing with all his big guns today, I don't like it, if goes with a weaker starting XI against Motagua... what a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 They'll take tomorrow and Monday to recover and then come back with all the big guns on Tuesday. Remember, they haven't had a congested schedule yet. They had 3 weeks off in June and have been playing once a week for the last 5 weeks since the break. The game against Bolton was pretty much all subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 By the way, for posters wanting to start a game thread don't bother with pre-game threads, or in-game threads or post-game threads. There isn't enough traffic to warrant that. Just start a thread, name the teams playing and the date of the game and the stadium if you feel like it.

jonovision Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Can I create the official half-time talk thread? I don't like this ref today. Really? I thought he had a strong first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 And Sanyang exaggerates way too much to my taste. Really? I thought he had a strong first half. I thought the yellow card for the foul on Sanyang was weak but he ahs had some good calls you are right, it's just my subjective opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Shockingly bad from Hartman on that Santos goal. 1-0 TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 1-0 TFC! Maicon Santos with his first MLS goal as a member of TFC. Great through ball by De Guzman, he has really bounced back from a horrible game last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 FFS! 1-1 Dallas goal by some douche named Milton Rodriguez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 1-1 I recall Shea being a really bright prospect for the USA? Cause I don't see in what he's so special. Maybe he's having a bad game. He's really good for a 20 years old though, don't get me wrong... but not international status right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 1-1 final, and probably the result the match deserved. Toronto got worse as the 2nd half wore on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 A point is a point but you really could have used 3. You are tied for the last playoff spot currently but have a game in hand. Every point helps but you need to get some 3 pointers and the sooner the better. JDG looked much better today. Santos looked good but your other DP was very rough at best. Sloppy play by Dero that lead to the corner that gave Dallas their goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 TFC is looking like the 2009 season team giving up late goals in last 2 games now... Is it going to be the same against Motagua? BTW, on the Dallas goal, the fault goes not only to DeRo but also to Garcia thanks to his bad pass, and... DeRo did a good to finish Garcia's bad play.

Havoc88 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yeah from where I was it looked like he was trying to save Garcia's bad pass from going straight out. Yes a point is a point but at home 1 point is 2 dropped and Toronto has one win over their last five at home. Draws are good on the road, not at home and IMO this is a bad result.

To me there's no doubt, CCL is what matters. So I hope to see the big guns for the game against Motagua. I'd be amazed if making the playoffs wasn't Preki's top priority. One or both of Preki and Mo Johnston are highly likely to be gone if it doesn't happen. Although Preki is a much better coach than Cummins and Carver in an MLS context from speaking to people after games I get the impression that a lot of supporters who were new to following a pro soccer team when TFC arrived on the scene don't like him that much and would be more comfortable with somebody with an English premiership sort of background. Image over substance basically. I suspect that sort of attitude might extend to the non-soccer people making decisions at MLSE, unfortunately. Bottom line is that Preki needs concrete results in the core league competition this season to be sure of being back next year to a much greater extent than John Carver did back in 2008.

jamieNDG Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 for a few moments from when mista got on the pitch leading to the tfc goal i was really impressed by the team. I forgot i was watchng mls. Beatiful goal and build up play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
