Gian-Luca Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 That Spencer as a strker/#9 got a 1st team contract at all after failing to prove he could even score at the USL level is what lead to so many fans criticizing Vanney for that particular move and the strong suggestion/appearance of nepotism. I also like Vanney as a coach but he isn't immune to warranted criticism. Club Linesman, Bison44, longlugan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, Chara looked very lively, we could have used him with a crowded schedule. I guess we'll get a steady diet of Mullins.....

Colliedor Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Ugh, now I REALLY wish to see Perruzza finally get his deserved chance. Hopefully Piatti can actually stay fit to help ease this loss a bit. Also, with the new reports from "the bubble" of players still getting covid, I can't get behind this idea of playing matches over there. I honestly would not be upset if TFC refuses to go.

Gian-Luca Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 TFC's other first round draft pick, Nyal Higgins (from Ajax, Ontario) was signed to a contract today - albeit to TFC II. So were two other academy kids (both Canucks), midfielder Antonio Carlini and defender Themi Antonoglou nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It infuriates me so much because i was watching a ton of USL, TFC2, Whitecaps 2 at the time. And he looked out of place and clumsy down there, plus he was older than Hamilton and way older than Akinola..with bad knees. CRIPES...I better go for a bike ride or hit the heavy bag, get the anger out before the season restarts. Do some zen meditation/learn some coping mechanisms so when Vanney resigns Ciman and Zav to long term deals and releases Dunn, Romeo and Okello I will be mentally prepared. SERENITY NOW!!! Vanney resigns Just thought I'd take that bit out and put it in a different context. It might help with your serenity! Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you mean an employee strike rather than a missile strike but given the current economy for airline travel, I think a missile strike is more likely at this point.

Colliedor Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Not sure if I should post it here, but it looks like TFC2 won't be taking part of the USL1 season. So now the question is, what's next? They play somewhere else, or send players on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Osorio and Altidore not dressed for TFC’s tourney opener. Altidore we knew was unlikely to be playing in the opener I hadn’t heard anything about Osorio. No Canucks starting for TFC unless you count Akinola. 5 on the bench (Laryea, Nelson, Shaffelbug, Okello and Fraser). Rocket Robin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Osorio apparently has a quad strain and may also miss the game against Montreal- if the match happens at all. The DC match has been delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 No Canadians starting then a positive test postpones the match, not sure I would have watched this anyway, this tournament was a bad idea IMHO, now its turning into a colossal failure!

Bison44 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Well one silver lining, I was at the park with my son and his little friends..I totally forgot TFC was the early game. HAHA!! So I didnt miss anything, although it would have been nice to see Piatti. And with the 5 subs I am sure we would have had Nelsen and or Okello making their debuts.

Obinna Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Greg Vanney gets a little too over confident there making the double CB change. I put the blame squarely on him for this draw. Colliedor, Free kick and Nate3322 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the blame squarely on him for this draw. Yes. You could also say that the group of backup CB’s are just not dependable. When Laurent Ciman played in Montreal, they had trouble winning balls in the air and team conceded alot goals off of headers. Its the same thing with Ciman at TFC. He is also not a good man marker. I was honnestly surprised when they acquired him. He does have the element of being able to play nice balls out of the back but that all seems secondary when its the defensive attributes are ultimately count in that role. TFC have squandered quite few points very late in the game over the past two years. I am talking about games where they were in control.

Colliedor Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Zava and Ciman make for a terrible partnership. We all saw it last season. Amazing Vanney continues to do it. You could literally sense something bad was about too happen. Kristian Jack was spot on with his analysis. It's embarrassing how much these guys are making to sit on the bench and be so unreliable. First half was good. Looked just about the best team in the tournament so far. Second half was so negative. I understand the heat, being a man up, and the short rest. But that was beyond taking the foot off the gas. Also extremely disappointed that Vanney would lie about playing the kids once again. You're a man up with 20 mins to go. Your bench is filled with Canadian prospects and you're allowed to make 5 subs, yet not a single one was subbed in. If that isn't a perfect time to do it, I don't know what is. Now TFC have to go all out in the next 2 matches, so I would be shocked if we see them at all in this tournament.

Bison44 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 From the MLS site..I'm not a twitter guy, so its a bad cut and paste. Someone should show Platt that stat before he does the post game One soccer wrap up video. 1 - @dcunited are the first team to have a player sent off while trailing by two or more goals and collect a point in an @MLS match since at least 2007 (W0 D1 L156).

If not one of the young Canucks could get on the field in a game like that, I have to wonder if they will ever get any time. Loan them to CPL teams FFS!
