Rocket Robin Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Result of the Friday July 13, 2012 CSL game between SC Toronto and Niagara United played at Lamport Stadium in Toronto at 8:00pm. 14 min...SCT Jarek Whiteman GOAL...SCT Jonathan Osorio from 55 yards on left sends in pass to Whiteman at 25 yards on right who chests ball down and shoots 12 yard roller into left corner of net past sliding goalie John DeLuca. 19 min...SCT Alon Badat GOAL...SCT Jonathan Osorio sends in high pass to the right for Badat who chests it down and he takes 15 yard shot into high left corner of net. 85 min...SCT Kyle Hall GOAL...SCT Brennan McNicoll rushes on right and rolls centering pass to Hall in alone to take 15 yard shot that sliding goalie gets piece of at 6 yards and ball deflects into low right corner of net. Final Score:.......SCT Toronto...3...... ..Niagara United.....0.... Attendance was about 80 that about doubled by the end of the game for permit holders waiting for their game to start. Weather was hot and humid but it was overcast until it got dark after having the sun out most of the day. Both early goals were assisted by Johnathan Osorio who I hadn't seen before this game. He's stepped in as their new dead ball specialist. Whiteman scored at 14 minutes and wears #14. Badat wears #19 and scored at 19 minutes (on an almost identical play except for shot location. Osorio wore #21 and at 21 minutes took a 20 yard shot from the right just over the bar. Best other non-scoring chances were at 10 minutes when SCT Dane Roberts took a 22 yard shot up the middle through a crowd of players that the goalie fumbled and have roll through his legs but turned and fell to smother the ball on the goalline. 16 minutes had SCT players work out a short cornerkick from the left that had Osorio cross into the box and Whiteman was called offside on 4 yard tap in when the ball was headed forward for him. 29 minutes had SCT Hall rush down the middle and pass over to charging SCT Badat who had a 12 yard chip that the goalie palmed upward and caught at 8 yards. 33 minutes had Badat on the left take a 12 yard shot into the short side mesh of the net. Niagara took over for the first 15 minutes of the second half with the subbing in at halftime of forwards Derek Paterson and Ben N'Goran. Best chance was at 48 minutes when N'Goran hit the right post on a 10 yard shot. The Niagara head coach James McGillivray had to be told to sit back down on the bench when the fourth official and referee's assistant summoned referee Jeff Fearnall over to the sideline. I saw a Niagara player just before then lying down in the SCT box away from play. I wonder if the TV cameras caught that or were they upfield following the action? That wasn't the only action that had the Niagara coach upset. Other good scoring chances were at 69 minutes when SCT McNicoll was given a tap over pass in the middle and blasted a 15 yard shot over the net. 75 minutes had SCT Whiteman take a 12 yard blast on the right that the goalie flew to the right to bat down. 77 minutes had NU N'Goran and Paterson have a pair of shots blocked in the SCT box by defenders. The win moved the SCT Toronto record up to 5-1-3 for a share of 2nd place tied with TFC Academy and Montreal Impact Academy but with one game less played than those two teams. Niagara's record falls to 4-4-0 for 11th place but they've played less than any other team in the league. The game was the Rogers TV Community Channel's game of the week and will be broadcast on Sunday evening at 8:00pm in the City of Toronto.

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 RE: TFCA match Omari Morris looked really good last night. Made a lot of nice runs down the right side and also was able to get back in put in a good shift defensively. He had a ball cleared off line by a defender (at 1:10 of the video Juby posted). It is too bad he got subbed off before Toronto brought on the player wearing the number 9 (might have been mario kovacevic?) at the centre forward position. He played much better than Campanella who played the first 60 minutes at CF and didn't factor that much into the game. The number 9 linked up well with the midfielders. He was able to hold up the ball and play in the wingers as well as being handful for the defenders the the penalty area. I was talking to an older gentleman while waiting for the bus after the match and he said the player who was wearing the number 9 was just coming back from an injury. Tyler Pasher also had another great game at LB and after Morris was the stand out player for me. I saw him play the Philly reserves in May and he didn't look out of place but played more of a defensive game. In this match he looked more dominant going forward. The two centre backs for Toronto had a good game as well. Nikola Paunic captained the side and was a big and physically strong defender. He did a good job of clearing most of the balls that came in the penalty area. While his partner Duran Lee was tall but much more thinly built and was more of a ball playing CB. A the beginning of the game Lee didn't look to comfortable on the ball and had a few bad touches but as the game progress he grew much more into it and starting playing nice balls into the midfielders.

Juby Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Not quite as impactful as usual, had a few decent possessions but wasn't exactly as dominant as we've seen him be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Juby, Do you know anything about a 1,000 seat stadium that is suppose to be at Downsview as part of the academy set up? It was mentioned in article by Kurt Larson in the Sun a couple of months ago. I had a look around but didn't see anything on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juby Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 no clue, with a little more organization they could probably improve seating a bit (there's room for a few more of those small stands) but I haven't looked into the facility all that much.

Toje Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 North York defeated the Serbian White Eagles 2-1 yesterday. I certainly didn't see that one coming, but good to see North York get their first win of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Robin Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Result of the Sunday July 15, 2012 CSL game between Toronto Croatia and St Catharines Roma Wolves played at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke at 8:00pm. 54 min...TC Petar Mingon GOAL...TC Tonci Pirija passes ball from 45 yards down the middle for Mingon on left who slides 18 yarder under goalie Nicholas Palazzi to right side of net. 58 min...TC Josip Keran GOAL...TC Tihomir Maletic takes a cornerkick from right that has Keran jump and head 3 yarder that goalie traps on ground behind goalline. 73 min...TC Tihomir Maletic GOAL...TC Sven Arapovic passes ball downfield to Maletic who blasts 15 yard shot on right sliding goalie gets piece of at 5 yards but ball deflects over him into right side of net. Final Score:.....Toronto Croatia.......3....... ...St Catharines Roma Wolves.......0...... Attendance was about 120 on this hot evening. The seats were still wet from a few rainstorms in the afternoon that played a part in the PDL game held here earlier. The first two goals scored by Toronto Croatia within four minutes broke open the game. Croatia had many early chances to score and with each miss it looked like maybe in a day of CSL upsets, Wolves stood a chance. Wolves have only scored four goals in 11 games so after those goals a comeback appeared unlikely. Antonio Ilic earned the shutout for Croatia by making a few key saves. Referee Gianni Facchini gave out a few cards and had control of the game but wasn't popular with TC fans and the Wolves bench. Best non-scoring chances were at 36 minutes when TC Marin Vucemilovic Grgic rolls a 25 yard cross from the right that TC Hayden Fitzwilliams misses connecting on a 7 yard shot down the middle. 43 minutes had the TC players work out a short cornerkick from the right that's worked into box and TC Augustin De Medina shot an 8 yarder wide right of the post. 46 minutes had TC Tihomir Maletic send in a cornerkick from the right that Fitzwilliams headed a 5 arder onto the top of the net. By 48 minutes TC had been called for two offsides in the half already. 65 minutes had Wolves Scott MacLennan take a 45 yard freekick that had Calvin Rosario shoot a 7 yard shot off the right post. 69 minutes found TC Grgic alone on the right to shoot a 22 yard roller wide left of net. 71 minutes had Maletic take a cornerkick from the right through the players in the box and Fitzwilliams miss a 3 yard header. 77 minutes had Wolves Rosario take a 12 yard shot in a crowd of players in middle and the flying goalie batted wide right. Rosario gets to the rebound but crosses high and wide left of the net. Toronto Croatia's record improves to 7-1-2. They had briefly been displaced from first place when TFC Academy had won earlier in the afternoon but are back to the lead which they've held since Week 3. Wolves fall to 1-8-1 and would be in last place except the North York Astros who won earlier today have played one more game.

CanadaSantos Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 wait a minute i'm confused. I though Omari Morris left? he's not in the tfc academy roster page, but according to akron he's joining them http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2012-13/bios/morris_omari_ndvn Also Josh Janniere is back?

Juby Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 He is on the Academy roster page, go to the teams tab, click on the senior team (meaning the senior academy team) and he'll be there, that link also lists him as currently with TFC academy so I'm guessing he's there till he starts school. And yes, Josh Janniere is back, I believe he's there to raise his match fitness while he's looking for a bigger club (didn't ask him personally, 2nd hand info).
