PBP: Columbus @ Toronto, (3/3, 1pm, MLS Matchday 1)

TFC announcers says it was body on body so therefore no PK.

 

Well, we dodged the patented Mensah fall down moment in the game.

 

Haha. I’ll have to use that next time I tackle someone in a Sunday League Match...

 

I would not expect to be officiated fairly this year.

Argudo is first sub. For Santos. Pedro was very good today.

 

Why?

 

The frame is our friend!

 

Thank you, crossbar. Now we just need right goal post to come through for us.

 

Rookie minutes...

 

Deflected shot off the post. Dwight fails to notice.

 

It was, but then with a small shove.

 

Terrible TO back pass. From Afful.

Up 2-0. Kick the ball away from goal.

 

I like the visiting announcers. I have not heard "Columbus Crew SC" one time today. If I had to play the Dwight Burgess drinking game I'd be on the floor by now I'd guess.

 

All these TOs are maddening.

Subs, please.

 

Gregg should sub Martinez out. Hector or Sosa.

 

Another terrible TO.

Rico Clark time.

 

We should be losing this match.

 

I wouldn't go that far, but defensively we need to improve.

 

Martinez is a ticking time bomb. Gotta get him off before he picks up his seconds yellow.

 

Abubakar has been fantastic.

Crognale for Pipa.

 

I wish I could enjoy this more.

 

Probably giving Greg too much credit here, but it is nice to to know this early if Martinez can control himself and make good late game decisions on a yellow. Better to find out now than later in the season...

I would still have taken him out 20 minutes ago.
