baulderdash77 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Osorio started for TFC and went 90. Chapman and Morgan came on in the first half for injuries ar 23' and 41' respectively. Ricketts came in at 81 and almost scored the winner right away. He was absolutely robbed on a stellar defensive effort that may or may not have gone in (couldn't tell, it was close either way) Toronto had lots of chances but just couldn't bury it in a 1-1 disappointing draw.

How many leagues have adopted this? They have to pay $260K for it to start plus $4K every game. The Bundesliga thinks it's too expansive. Only the major cashscow that is the Premier League is willing to pay for it. Plus, many clubs in MLS use multiple stadiums like Montreal and San Jose to name a few. You have to ask yourself on why MLS teams would need to spend at least $325,000 dollars for something like that. Plus, they have to pay FIFA in that.

Germany and Netherlands have it also, but it's an expansive cost that MLS belives isn't important enough for something that changes games 2-3 times a season.

I meant to say of all leagues, MLS I thought would have adopted it first considering goal line tech is such an American thing to have. I was being facetious.

jpg75 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Osorio goes 90, Johnson goes 70 and Ricketts and Chapman subbed on in the 74th and 81st minute respectively as TFC win on the road in Philly 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Johnson picked up an assist on the 3rd TFC goal. All the Canucks played fairly well. Lefevre started but was subbed out in the 79th minute for Montreal - but it's nice to see he was subbed for Anthony Jackson-Hamel. Kyle Bekker also subbed in the 81st minute. Not a good result for Montreal though as they are down 3-0 at home to Chicago with a few minutes to go.

Gian-Luca Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Three Canucks starting in the back line for Vancouver against KC - Aird Edgar and De Jong. Davies and Teibert on the bench. The Caps clearly love Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRM Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 And Davies plus Teibert come on as subs and 5 Canucks on the field in an MLS game for the Caps. At least something nice about our 0-2 loss to KC tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 No Canucks featured for Montreal in a 1-1 draw with DC United (although Kofi Opare started & was sent off in the 89th minute for DC - mentioning this here should he ever qualify to play for Canada). Two Canucks score in TFC's 2-1 win over Orlando, one for each team (Ricketts for TFC). Osorio was the only Canuck to go 90, Chapman started and was subbed at the half, Ricketts shortly afterwards and Johnson came on with about 15 minutes to go. Hamilton didn't leave the bench (nor did Roberts) and Morgan & Babouli weren't dressed, although one hopes with the way Lovitz played in this game that Morgan will at least take his spot on the bench next time round. Larin went the distance for Orlando. Irwin is supposed to come back for the weekend apparently, so that will be that - Roberts will no doubt get sent back down to TFC II since they won't need to dress 3 keepers for any matches.

Obinna Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Ricketts scores in the 7th minute and Larin replies in the second half, as TFC beat Orlando 2-1 down in Florida. Osorio played his usual 90, while Chapman was taken out at halftime. Johnson was a second half substitute, so he's working his way back to fitness, it seems. Hamilton and Roberts remained on the bench and Ricketts made way for Altidore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRM Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 4 Canucks start (Teibert, Aird, DeJong & Edgar) and 3 finish in our 0-0 draw with LA. Aird subbed at the 65 minute mark probably because he was on a yellow. Best I've seen us play in a while. Of the 4 I'd rate them all as very effective. MDJ was the best of the 4 as he was under constant attack but boy has he got rid of the rust. Damn near flawless defending plus adding offence. That bodes very well for our MNT.

It had me worried seeing 2 young rookies at RB & RM but Smith mostly stayed back and Aird did a lot of 2 way support. He made several low passes into the box but they were deflected by a defender or just too far for the forward to get to. Aird does seem much better at RM than RB. For some strange reason LA was focused on attacking Marcel's side instead of trying to crack the 2 rookies. Weird decision on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some strange reason LA was focused on attacking Marcel's side instead of trying to crack the 2 rookies. Weird decision on their part. Agreed, I thought Aird was quite effective in that role. He's really direct, and he plays with pace and tenacity. He was dangerous going forward and responsible defensively. Not that it's terribly important, but I don't think you can call either Aird or Smith rookies. They have ~200 professional games between them and have both represented their countries at senior level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
