2019 Match Day #12: Toronto FC v. Union, May 11, 2019 p/d/p

A road L, but if no one else gets injured or suspended it’s a positive. Bounce back draw with SEA and take apart win vs Portland.

 

Union never win up there, it seems. I have to go loss on this one, sadly.

 

No optimism here. Loss.

 

What!? We beat them 6-2 in 2011. Another 6 goal win! (I may be a little hyped up after last night, lol!)

 

This is Toronto's first time with a mid-week game this season. It will be interesting to see what lineup Toronto plays in Atlanta on Wednesday. Over the next 12 days, Toronto has 4 games (at ATL 5/8, vs. PHI 5/11, vs. DC 5/15, at RSL 5/18).

I assume that Toronto will try to "win both games" this week, but a mid-week game for Toronto in Atlanta on turf with the travel, an early start on Saturday, plus games on Wednesday and Saturday next week should work to the Union's benefit.

 

We may be top of the table, but Toronto is top in PPG. This will be a tough one. Would be thrilled with a point.

 

Yep, this will be a real test. Anything other than a loss will be welcome. At least they will come into the game confident. They certainly can't afford to be as casual at the back as they were on Saturday. Far too much sloppy passing that a better team would punish.

 

great test for Curtin and the team

 

I was there.... it was a beauty.



I'm going Win.. riding high... riding optimistic.. 6 pointer, huge game. Show us you are for real Union.

 

After what happened today at Anfield, I think the gods of footy are in my favor.

Win.

 

This has been an epic Champions League Campaign.

 

Toronto looked terrible last night. Should get at least a draw.

 

All good things must come to an end. But they'll bounce back.

 

Absolutely bonkers this week. @Phillyspur must be chuffed beyond belief.


And now back to your regularly scheduled Union thread. Are we good now? Is Curtin really a good manager? Will we beat Toronto?

All this and more...Stay tuned...

 

Bonkers is right, mate. I've got almost zero work done since 3pm yesterday.

So back to the Union, the Fire could put 5 past NER... takes the shine off a bit, doesn't it?

 

Is the pregame hostess wearing a bathrobe?

 

Hell yes, German third division. What a ball into the box. Beautiful goal.

 

They started out scrambling to figure out how TFC were playing. It's starting to look better. A goal does help!

 

Union are looking good so far. Getting some decent possession, creating a few chances, and limiting TFC's chances.

I'm still not sure if it's Fafa's goal or an own goal.

 

Pretty sure that's an OG. Looks like Fafa couldn't get there and it came off the back leg of the TFC player

 

I'm sure this has been well documented but my friedn invited me over to watch the game. He recently cut cable and switched to ESPN+. Neither of us were aware of the blackout restrictions. Are you freaking kidding me? This game would have never been blacked out on MLS Live. Is there a workaround? Or are we screwed?

 

Either buy an antennae and get the broadcast for free or use a VPN to make ESPN think you live elsewhere. Or you can use Locast.

 

Montiero just beasted the hell out of that. Damn. He really is Nogueira with speed. That was pretty.
