Funny for a team that's currently 12 points clear in first place in the league, but I feel like TFC needs to make a statement game here and pick up a win on the road in Atlanta. They've been a bit wobbly (compared to their usual self this year) over the last few games. I wouldn't want to back into the bye week on a weak finish.
Wobbly is an understatement......the team has looked poor. I am not sure they need a road win but they need a solid performance.....something that has been lacking. I will try and update the match from my seat in the stadium!
just looking forward to being in attendance as part of a >70k crowd for our sport in this continent. It will be nice that an MLS match will be in my top 5 (maybe top 3) of soccer crowds I have been a part of! Flight on aeroplan Accomodation: guest room at my buddy's place in Buckhead Tickets to match $150USD Pretty cool weekend planned out and I am already antsy sitting at work and it's only Tuesday....will try an post some comments and/or pics here but, honestly, when I am at a match live these days I find Twitter an easier medium to post to.
I watched the first half with no sound at a pub, I notice now that the fans are booing Bradley every time he touches it. Something that happened in the game or is this a reaction to the World Cup qualifying debacle against Trinidad?
Same result as the game back in April. Biggest difference? Mavinga went from being the worst player on the pitch to being the best.
My thoughts on the #VAR call in the #tfclive match today.1. Looks like got the call right do that is good; but:.......,— Toarea Fan 🇨🇦 (@TOareaFan) October 23, 2017
They were booing both Bradley and Altidore every time they touched the ball. It was a reaction to WCQ
Yes, from the first minute to the ninetieth and banners like this were up “The Biggest Losers” banner with a photo of Bradley and Altidore. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/sB0c29Rccs— Haris Kruskic (@HKruskic) October 22, 2017 Shameful in my opinion. To measure the man......a lot (dare I say most?) of players would have dashed down the tunnel at the final whistle......not Bradley, he is obviously close to Guzan and his family so hung around on the pitch to greet/hug them during the post game.
It's a shame that they would treat guys who played solid for them for many years like that. As they say, you can build 20 cabinets and they still won't call you a cabinet maker, but you've only got to screw one goat...
