St. Clair with a couple of fantastic saves tonight for Minnesota.

With the way everyone down south was raving about Philly this season, I wasn't particularly impressed with them tonight. If that's the top team in the East then the East is wide open. Once Osorio went out with an injury TFC had basically no midfield and a ton of inexperienced kids (and some experienced ones) out there. They should have been ripe for the picking but were only able to generate chances due to naive TFC giveaways. Pretty good sign for TFC if they can get a win like this without two DP's & the team down its 2nd tier of promising youngsters (since none of Priso, Okello, JMR or Akinola played - that's basically all the hyped TFC young guns along with Nelson, who only played the first half).

^^^ Dont forget the CPL guys for TFC today.   I love how it gets the TSN boys to talk about the CPL.  It was a very nice win for TFC.. a real warning shot eh?  Even if it was at home.  Wait till we get some more guys healthy and Insigne gets here.  I can just see other eastern conf MLS coaches saying.."who is this Petrasso, Kosi who?? Where the hell is Pacific...is that a Hawaian club??"

That's what they do down there. as I know you know.  I tried watching a bit of of the Seattle-Miami game but the FS1 crew were fawning over Seattle so much (Lalas called them heavy favourites over Pumas...for f$@# sakes, Alexi), I couldn't take it any more. 😄

Philly has good pedigree up and down their lineup so they should be a good team but they don't have any great players relative to other teams IMHO.  Uhre is their one DP, but is he a game changer?

Nice for Pozuelo and Bradley to combine on that last TFC goal but they were diabolical in keeping possession in this game. Yes, the Canadian youngsters also made a few mistakes but you expect that from the kids against the defending champs on the road not so much the highly paid vets. Nice to see the fight back at least

I was going to say Pozuelo is much too inconsistent for a DP. In the first half I lost count of the times he lost possession and looked slow

I thought Bradley was very off.....again. BUT, we know he will never be subbed....family before the team.
