Free kick Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 On 3/30/2018 at 10:23 PM, dyslexic nam said: 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? The line ups at the will call are long and very slow moving. I would say, give yourself 30-40 mins. About two years ago i had the misfortune get a re print there and its slow and frustrating. They have to check your identity and leave the widow to go to the back. It takes few minutes to service each customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also helps a lot when you have to face Luis Silva as the lone striker (false 9?) up top. But this was a confidence building performance.

That is solid aswell however assuming everyone is healthy and that Bradley, vazquez giovinco and altidore are locks then three of Delgado, akteke, hasler and Osorio would not start. With the a back four of auro, vdw, mavinga and morrow, we would have two good midfield options and one good but aging centre D in Moor that could be subbed in. Don't get me wrong i wouldn't call your alternative formation above a mistake at all, I just prefer the more mobile and sufficiently experienced back four.

Yeah in the current formation there will be guys sitting. I guess we'll see lots of squad and formation rotation to get everyone a turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the pitch conditions they are in TO don't see VV starting in the 3-5-2 system . Bradley,Osorio and Delgado. Could see Vasquez if they go 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 On 28/3/2018 at 4:30 PM, AvroArrow said: 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. Now I understand why the US missed the WC, too much time playing checkers between flags.

Gian-Luca Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Announced yesterday that Hagglund is out again, 6 weeks with a hamstring injury. Morrow, Mavinga & Vazquez are all back in training but Vanney wouldn't say if any of them will play against Club America today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Anyone else notice the TFC defender flying back into position as CA were launching a counter down the right at the end of the half? It was Ashtone Morgan. I forgot how fast he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jith12 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 58 minutes ago, jpg75 said: what happened? I had to go eat dinner... There was a dust up in the tunnel. A bunch of pushing and shoving but things cooled down. No cards were shown, but the police had to separate the two sides. My favourite part about the whole ordeal was Jozy's self control. It looked like he made a point of not entering the tunnel until everything calmed down. Great win tonight. Now we gotta go into the Azteca and finish the job. Great performance from the Canucks Morgan and Oso as well.

Grizzly Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 TFC does not have to worry about CONCACAF reffing in Azteca. I wish we had had an Uzbek ref when the Impact played there. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/04/03/asian-referee-work-tfc-america-2nd-leg-ccl-game-concacaf-afc-exchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvroArrow Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Other than the pedestrian defending on the Club America goal, it was a strong overall performance by TFC. I was kind of wishing they would push for a 4th goal, as playing at Azteca is no walk in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never a bad defender, he just wasn't good enough going forward and wasn't showing much improvement in his offensive abilities when he was playing regularly. It's hard to tell given the small sample of the last two games if he's really any better than he was then. From what I've seen his crossing is less wayward than it was but still not great. Anyway, it is very good to see him taking his chance so well and I'm hoping we'll see more of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
