Gian-Luca Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Delgado gets his first cap for the US coming on for the last five minutes in a friendly against Paraguay, a 1-0 win for the Americans. Bono did not even dress. Bizarrely, I see that De Andre Yedlin got a yellow card for: 62' DeAndre Yedlin Reason: Extra flag to checker No idea what this means - he brought an extra American flag on to the field and gave it to the guy who was checking him?

"Flag to checker" is common stat keeping code for "have the fact checker go back and see why he got the card". They mistakenly published it instead of having it private, and no idea what the extra means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the writer was worried the checker would miss the line if there was only one flag, so he added an "extra" flag to further draw the checker's attention. Appears to have been unsuccessful. Should have added a triple flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Through some great coincidence, I just realised that I will be in Toronto on Tuesday night for work and that TFC play Club America in the home leg of the CCL that night. For some reason, I never made the connection before tonight. Pretty excited. Wondering if folks have advice on: - the best way to get to BMO from the airport Sheraton, and - a good section at BMO for someone to sit in that balances price and experience. Also, not sure if it is better to be bench-side or facing them and a bit closer to the field. I don't mind paying for good seats. Keep in mind I am from PEI, so not really familiar with TO transit - use little words. And it looks like there are lots of tickets left for sale, so I will wait a bit to get some seating advice, but I don't want to wait too long.

dyslexic nam Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Wasn't cheap, but I don't actually get to attend high quality footy games very often. And I'm worth it... Also, solid win tonight. Good to get the W before facing CA on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Sorry for the noob questions, but do people just walk en masses from Shoeless Joes before game time? Also, if I have to hit the "will call" kiosk for my tickets, how long in advance will I have to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Morgan looked ok toight! He had some nice ink ups going forward and I think he got an assist. His cross to Osorio hit him dead center, he could have chested it in. Nice to see Chapman shake off some rust, and all RIckets did was beat everyone to a rebound and knock Rimando backwards in the next like in the "EARLY MAN" cave man soccer movie. Also nice to see Jozy take the penalty, seriously Gio, you have to change it up...try the other side just once!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 In all the discussion about the late season state of the turf with the Argos sharing BMO, the current early season state of the field is pretty poor right now (perhaps that's to be expected?). Lots of bobbles and slips by players from both teams last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of public transit option from Pearson to downtown if you are looking for something cheap ish. Incl train from Pearson to downtown https://www.upexpress.com/ But if you have the money, might as well just take a cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably his best game of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
