Toronto FC: Toronto FC/Canada Soccer Discussion Thread - WC Qualifiers continue

[trellaine201]

How does review work? Someone above says penalty? Then the ref confirms? Lol

 

[TMLeafer]

What a way to celebrate the goal. Get your keeper wrecked and a penalty.

 

[trellaine201]

FUKC orlando. No reason to be in this game. And sadly not enough TFC finish.

 

[trellaine201]

So i read up on the process. If the VAR thinks its a foul why does the ref need to look?? Stupid waste of time. The VAR obviously is calling a foul each time.

 

[trellaine201]

Really enjoyed the game. Thought TFC was the better team and deserved a much better fate. Just need to finish.

 

[TMLeafer]

Really should have won that game.

Canada vs USA today gold cup action will be fun to watch

Yep, but I'm guessing it's not going to be on Canadian TV, unless you have OneSoccer or something

Jozy back and scoring, a clean sheet, and 3 points? What a day!

So Atlanta fired their coach Heinze (remember him?) and now this comes out:

Atlanta United Gabriel Heinze firing - TSN.ca

reports that Heinze limited the amount of water his players could drink before team doctors intervened and refused to grant his players days off that were mandated by the CBA among other acts that deteriorated the trust between the manager and his squad.

What the heck

Auro and Omar are so so bad .. for sure those 2 need to be immediately replaced .. Mavinga played a lot better .. Layrea and Morrow are fine .. too many games will be lost with this back end .. great to see Jose back .. guy always finds a way to score and we need that presence back in lineup

 

[BlueForever75]

Soteldo, Pozuelo and and Altidore will get this team moving in the right direction. Dont be surprised to see them start winning and gaining points in bunches. This last game was very telling against a top ranked Orlando side.

TFC had some bad luck but totally outplayed an upper echelon team in the MLS.

Good things to come.

 

[robertmac43]

Also nice to see these guys back at home, must be nice for their mental states as well.

Time to go on a run and see if we can get back in the playoff hunt!

 

[Pinto]

Got my tickets for Wednesday!

 

[robertmac43]

Here is this year's schedule for the Canadian Championship. There are rumours the game against Forge will take place before this year's tourney kicks off, nothing official yet though.



I'd like to see this tournament be a more official draw in the future, however, this year has some really solid matchups in the first round with the potential for more Canadian derbies in the future.

Potential away end at BMO trip I like it

 

[robertmac43]

Another majorly important 3 points are up for grabs today. Win and we inch closer to a playoff spot.

 

[TMLeafer]

Draws at home are just not good enough. Not when you're in a hole in the basement of the conference.

 

[al secord]

No injury time? Was that a thing?

 

[robertmac43]

5 points in the last 3 games are not terrible considering the form of the team before this. That being said we need to maximize points now to have a chance at making the playoffs.

3 points against Chicago is a must!

This guy OMAR is costing us EVERY GAME .. why are we playing this $1M per loser????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? .. cut him NOW .. again last night as a CB he got completely outrun on a long ball and even after our tender makes da breakaway save he can't react fast enough to clear rebound and 2nd guy scores on him .. this guy cost us 2 points last night .. he CANT RUN he CANT kick and I question now if he even understands what to do defensively as a BIG header CB .. his only value is headers from corners .. that is it .. please please please take him out to pasture ASAP .. no one can win with this LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

 

[theaub]

Him and Mavinga have both lost a step.

Omar was so good in 2019 but he's washed now.

 

[Joufreau]

Pretty bad start last night, took awhile to get the boys going.

I have been a big Priso supporter but he was really bad until he scored that goal and then started to play well the rest of the game. Crazy what a little confidence will do for you. I still see him as an important part of our midfield going forward.

Omar was doing Omar things again and as someone else mentioned, cost us two points. I was baffled at the amount of times he misread the flight of the ball coming at him. Like 3 or 4 times stood his ground only to have the ball sail over his head. Getting older now, does Omar need glasses???

Admittedly I haven't watch him much but Dwyer was completely ineffective playing up top. That Akinola injury really hurts us in that position. Should just be a rotation of Akinola and Altidore up top.

On to Saturday, need 3 pts

 

[TMLeafer]

Soteldo scores 90 seconds in! They're up early for a change!

That was a nice change. Bono having a heck of a night so far too.
