    Way to go dudek. The first shot wouldn't have hit the goal. Just fantastic!

    Negredo isn't just a big tank...he has shown that he has some technical skill.

    Dude, this guy has gained so much appreciation so quickly for his skills, I hope you are right because that can only mean good things for us.

    Toronto scores, horrible header attempt from Metz, and Torres doesn't cover on the rebound.

    TFC has a tendency, once beat inside the box, to make desperate lunges.

    That's not just a TFC tendency once beaten in the box ;)

    *sigh* You know what I mean... they make impossibly timed challenges that most teams would not try, knowing the speed of some of these players.

    Garay for Metzelder
    Sneijder for Drenthe

    Sneijder also came on, for Lass?

    No, Lass is playing RB, Torres LB atm. Im guessing he came on for Drenthe.

    So suddenly the best striker and player for RM last season becomes bench fodder. I guess it's ok now since they need to meld the team, but things will change when the Bernabeau is breathing down Perez's neck for a second time, and Pellegrini.

    I personally hate Pellegrini, he's a tool. Your team looks good, but I think Pellegrini is going to run it to the ground when the real competition picks up.

    Didn't think I need to write everything out, thought people knew what I was talking about.

    Many teams have instructions, for example, to not go very hard on certain players inside the box. Many have instructions exactly opposite. Many will also work to avoid giving away penalties, especially against big-team superstars. For example, some of the other teams we've played in the past has worked to close up gaps instead of waiting for a last ditch challenge. If this was a real UCL/Liga game, there would be at least 1 penalty given. Other teams look to close off the goalmouth opportunities, or try to force the player to the outside towards the endline instead.

    Example: Barcelona don't make very hard challenges inside the box, generally. Neither does Villarreal or Valencia.

    Robben with the 5-1.

    I can only assume that Higuain got injured in warmup or something. This is just cruel.
