I've always wondered what TFC stood for... Terrible Football Club? Terrible F*cking Club? The F*cking Canucks? Too F*cking Cold? The Fake Carpet? I'm not quite sure? either way this is a better squad then the hosers have ever fielded before and we're torn up with injuries . It's gonna be a bitch to hear those hosers cheer when they score, but they will. Crew 2 TFC? 1 in a late thriller.
With Frankie out you will see Iro in middle and Carrol outside to cover on the right, With Robbie out you still have Padula in the back but you need someone who can push and be dangerous on Wynne's side. My vote would be Ekpo. I am puzzled by who to put in the middle. Maybe DO, maybe someone like Lionheart. Obviously Garey will start for Moreno.
Toronto is much improved. Crew has to play with one hand tied behind their back, with national team callups and injuries (already). OK, call it win by one.
Another one. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0R5DTHcmGU"]YouTube - Media Response to Canada's Imperialist Aggression[/ame]
Come on guys, where's the confidence? We're still the defending champs, improved team or not, TFC has never beaten us. I picked win by two, I'll even say the goals come from Garey and Gaven, assisted by GBS.
That was hilarious. What was the audio that took up the last three or four minutes (the commentary) from?
Since you said you meant Danny O, I'll lay off that one, however... Oughton is unavailable with the Kiwi's, so he can't play in the middle this match (though if Robbie is out for an extended period, he's a good choice, especially if we move Ekpo wide). Still, for this game, if Ekpo plays wide, Gaven seems the likely choice on the other side. If you move Eddie inside, then Grendi still plays wide. If you leave Eddie wide, then Nyazamab/Elenio/Burns would start in the middle, and that isn't going to happen. Lionheart is a forward, he won't play CM. If I had to guess: -----------Hesmer---------- Danny O--Iro--Marshall--Padula -----------Carroll------------- Gaven------Ekpo---------Grendi ----------Schelotto----------- -----------Lenhart------------- Subs bench (everyone else on the roster): Andy G, Zayner, Brunner, Nyazamba, Burns, Elenio, Garey. Out: Rogers (hammy), Noonan (herniated disc), Moffat (knee), Oughton (International Duty), Moreno (International Duty), Hejduk (International Duty).
I'm going with win by one but this has me nervous too. I'm trying to view this as an early test of our depth. If we can get 3 points from this game missing Ale, Frankie, and likely Robbie, I'll take it as a very positive sign for the rest of our season. Our depth will be tested in ways that it hasn't been tested for a long time as this season unfolds. We need everyone on the roster ready to contribute whether they are seeing regular time or not. For some reason I just feel like Jason Garey is going to step up big this year and I think he may make the difference this weekend. Looks like TFC will be without Robinson and Guevara this weekend so their midfield will be hurting. I can't wait to be in Nordecke Saturday, just thinking about it is giving me chills. Hope everyone's week goes fast!

In short, I think MM called their fans out on their douchebaggery. That is MASSIVE. The Nordecke needs to let our team know they are at home no matter how many TFC fans are there. It's game time boys!!!!!
