BearcatSA Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I don't think Attakora made the bench today for DC United. I don't think he's even played all year in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 That's right, he hasn't. Doesn't help that DCU are plowing through the Eastern Conference. I don't think Porter has played much this year either, what is he doing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Porter was loaned out twice to Richmond for brief spells. Had 4 goals in 5 games. Played July 13 against Sacramento Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Gagnon-Lapare got on for the Impact for 28 minutes last night. Big congratulations to that young man. Bernier also went 90, and Issey went 65 before pulling a straight red card due to a studs up challenge. Ouimette and Tissot stayed on the bench for this one.

Obinna Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Very happy to see this guy make his professional debut. By my count that is 5 Canadian's who have made MLS apperances this season. Good job impact. Next, I would like to see Alderson and Clarke get some minutes, and Forese sign a home grown contract. That would make me a happy boy.

One American Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Ethan Finlay with another goal for Columbus. That's 5 on the year from mostly the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Wasn't someone supposed to message Finley and ask him if he "feels Canadian" or something? Not that you can ever get anything but an absolutely ambiguous answer when you ask that, but I'm not sure Finley has any interest whatsoever in us. I'm sure someone can post an article or a conversation that states otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One American Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 That's the thing .... in America we have "journalists" who do things like that. We finally got an article on Akindele's interest. It would be nice to know Finlay's. OTOH, Finlay is starting to get noticed by US fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Maxim Tissot scored for L'Impact against the Timbers. He was playing left wing! has he played there before? I thought he was only a defender. Maybe he can get more looks by being a flexible player. Will Johnson also got a goal on a PK in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Maxim Tissot scored for L'Impact against the Timbers. He was playing left wing! has he played there before? I thought he was only a defender. Yes, I would have to guess from memory that he has played more games during the past 10 months at left mid then left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradMack Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It seems like all of our domestic left backs we develop have the same "good going forward, need to work on defending" issue. I've thought for a while Ashtone Morgan would benefit from a switch to left mid as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 He looked good against Portland. For me at the moment he's in the same category as Ashtone Morgan and he should be earning caps and call-ups soon, I'd like to see more he looks like a good athlete but obviously needs to grow into a pro.

Even as a TFC fan, I gotta say that I rate Tissot above Morgan right now. He is getting more games and he certainly deserves to get called into camp in September.

tmcmurph Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Teibert comes on as a sub for 35 minutes in our 0-0 draw against the Fire. He was one of the few bright spots tonight. After the game Sunday, travel and hot, humid conditions in Chicago I'm thinking Robbo wishes he didn't start the same 11. Should have had Teibert, Salgado & NRC in at the start to give some rest to players. Bad decision by the coach IMHO. Very tired team out there today for us.

Ivan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Congrats to Anthony Jackson Hamel on his pro debut. Played the last 20 min or so for the Impact and looked their only threat. A good save by Bendik denied him a goal on his debut. Osorio and Henry played 90 for TFC. Bekker played the last 5-10 minutes. Bernier went 90 for the Impact.

BearcatSA Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Based entirely on my first half observations, Will Johnson spent the 90 minutes chasing shadows in a 3-1 loss to the Galaxy in the StubHub Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good save by Bendik denied him a goal on his debut. Osorio and Henry played 90 for TFC. Bekker played the last 5-10 minutes. Bernier went 90 for the Impact. Our team is bad, that can not be denied. However, why the hell did we sign/play the Uruguayan 2nd division guy (cup of coffee for 3 months in the 1st division) when we have a guy like Jackson Hamel in the academy? When Gonzalez played for us he hardly touched the ball and looked like he should be playing 2 divisions lower. Jackson Hamel made nice runs, got his head on a few balls, showed himself capable of passing plays with other attackers, managed to move around some of the defenders., etc. He looked better than Di Viao when he was on (though that is maybe not surprising as McInerney also looks better than Di Viao who should be gone next year). We still have to see if he can finish and score at a good rate but a very promising debut for a Canadian striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 That header by Jackson was great, only matched by a better save ... looking forward to seeing Montreal the rest of the season. At least Montreal does it the right way.. TFC was playing guys who had no chance of being around instead of young players and prioritizing meaningless league games over Champions League games in terms of squad rotation in previous years. I hope Montreal actually does some damage in the CCL and gives their young players time in the league. I see Rudi took part of my post brutally out of context and posted it to twitter. Good job lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job lol I even said it was out of context, and explained it as such. Basically I wanted to start a conversation on Twitter. But yes, I think your statement is insane, especially since no one outside of Klopas has any idea what the Impact are going to when it comes to prioritizing MLS and CCL games. If you thought yesterday was an example of IMFC not "prioritizing meaningless league games over Champions League games in terms of squad rotation," well then I don't know what to tell ya, because that was pretty much Klopas' best XI barring injury. Right now, Montreal's doing exactly what TFC did a few years ago by signing a ton of academy players to fill the roster on a bad team. Hopefully a few of them can stick when the team gets better, because that will be good for Canadian soccer as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
