MLS Cup 2017: Seattle at Toronto, Sat. 8 Dec., 4 pm EST

There's only one conclusion to reach from a Timbers fan without a beard. He's an alien. Hopefully, they come in peace.

 

Did the announcers say that Altidore plans to finish his career in Toronto?

I would like to see him take one last shot in Europe, just to prove himself. I think he could be good in Italy, Ligue One, or the Bundesliga on a team that can actually hold the ball and attack, unlike Sunderland.

But if he's comfortable in Toronto then it's probably not something that would interest him.

 

Safe to say that at his age he's done for Europe. I think he stays in Toronto until he no longer has it

 

I'm sure Jozy would like another crack at Europe, but only if he gets paid. And no European club is dumb enough to pay him what he gets in Toronto right now

 

Gotta channel aggression somewhere. Watch 22 year old me drive to learn more.

 

I've seen it on television many times, and it's almost never called Toronto or Canada. Usually it's "New York."

 

Oh that would be because of all the tax breaks to shoot TV and movies given to studios that makes it cheaper to film here.

 

Based on what I saw, the better team won tonight. And so Cascadia’s reign ends and Canada’s begins.

 

******** Canada. ******** separatists.

 

I see a bunch of posts in this thread about Canada and the US and have know idea why everyone gets so worked up.

As as Atlanta (and Orlando fan) I say Congrats Toronto on winning MLS cup. Enjoy...

 

But can you really blame us for not wanting a certain part of the country to keep electing leaders that befuddle us and force us to use textbooks that deny evolution and slavery? I’m trying to put it as politely as I can.

 

You must be a closet Canadian. Go back to Tim Horton's, eh!

More seriously, I haven't read anything I don't interpret as good-natured ribbing. If it's more than that, then I don't see the point, either. I like our polite-speaking, igloo-dwelling, syrup-swilling, curling-loving, extra-vowel-using northern neighbours. Except James Howlett.

 

The charade is up - clearly you are one of them!

 

can we give you justin beiber?? ..PLEASE!!

 

My first American ancestors were Mayflower pilgrims. The Canadian ones had arrived in Nova Scotia over a decade before.

 

I would only question if that's the exact moment for the offside decision. Hard to tell if that's the initial moment of contact with the ball. Would like to be able to move it back a frame or two and see what happens.

Even from this still, half a yard surprised me. Looks closer.

 

Also, he was more offside earlier in the play and was curling his run back, was onside a split second later.

Cascadia has failed America.

 

Fair. That person does good work.

 

Now I question if the VAR was looking at the correct frame, or if he was also just fooled by the angle on the replay like I was. Likely the latter because it really doesn't look that far off. I can understand why it wasn't a clear and obvious error with the system they have: they're doing this by eye without the benefit of Hawkeye (like at the Confederations Cup) that can do this modeling in near real-time. If that system had been in place, this would have been called off, no question.

 

Can't really complain about one call when you played like shit most of the game.

Granted, I give credit to TFC for that.
Their defensive pressure never allowed Seattle to get into any kind of rhythm. And Seattle never found the open passing lanes.

 

In this case, the Chairman if The Board who owns 25%.

 

You better believe it. Micheal Bradley himself said in an interview that TFC is the Bayern Munich of MLS. Meaning they spend the most and dominate. Next is the CCL.

 

He is due for a big raise. He needs to be making Seba and Bradley $$$.
