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

And we are successfully off the ground in Orlando! No Jozy and no Oso.

 

[al secord]

Jozy is off to another great start.

 

[robertmac43]

Ehhh there we are, what a shot!

 

[al secord]

Boom!

 

[robertmac43]

Piatti has looked really smooth thus far!

 

[al secord]

Bradley's been everywhere. Very impressive so far.

 

[al secord]

I'm pretty sure POZ knew what he was doing there.

 

[robertmac43]

Akinola is impressing as well. Another goal for the youngster!

 

[al secord]

These VAR breaks are killing it.

 

[TMLeafer]

Great first half. The Reds look sharp! And Akinola could have 4 already .

Moreno picked up a second yellow at the end of the first half there, so DC is down a man to make bad things worse for them.

I would 100% bet on him getting a hat-trick!

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Don't think so? As per the MLS briefing, there was one positive and one inconclusive.
One of the DC players was left off the game sheet.

Looks like a couple false positives ... it happens unfortunately ... but players now need 2 successive negatives before they can rejoin team again

I think that is now the standard for most of the NA sports. Makes sense to be as thorough as possible.

 

[al secord]

Richie should punish their left side.

Too bad a game had to be postponed due to a false positive ... but thats life in COVID times i guess

For those who are watching, who seems to be the tfc positive?

 

[al secord]

They seem to be falling asleep

 

[robertmac43]

The game has definitely turned to a more boring pace, however it's good game management experience for the squad. Obviously pre-covid we demonstrated that we could not see out games, so this could be good.

Also lol @ Bradley chirping right now, love to see it!

 

[al secord]

Terrible defending.

 

[robertmac43]

As I say we need to work on game management we let 10-man DC break through us with one ball....

 

[al secord]

Hopefully Mavinga isn't hurt. We obviously can't afford to lose him or Gonzalez.

 

[trellaine201]

LOL typical

 

[al secord]

Zavaleta shouldn't be on the pitch. Greg Vanney get's punished for thinking the game was already over.

This has aged well...

Even with the man advantage we cannot hold on to leads.... It's painful.

 

[robertmac43]

I cannot imagine going from a game like this to quarantine will be good for the mentality of these players. I would love to see them go for it right now!
