Toronto FC 2013 Discussion Thread

[Giuseppe Sallo]

Not enough italian, portuguese, russian and german players. Bet you if we singed played overseas, this team would be #1.

Btw, Winter sucks at putting out a good tactical team... every game I see the same crap.

theres more money in Europe even in alot of the 2nd tier leagues then in the MLS which only gives you 3 DP which we've used 2 on Korvermans(Dutch) and Frings(German) so those guys are not gonna come to NA to play when they can stay home and make as much if not more money and play in a better league. so I don't see where your coming from.

one thing I will say about Toronto is that part of there mandate imo should be to develop canadian talent and atleast there doing that giving I believe 7 players playing time this year compared to Montreal and Vancouver who have a combined 2 players playing any minutes that are canadians.

Finally a win! I called it too.

Give me a break the best players on the team so far this year have been Morgan, Henry, Plata and Johnson and none of them are European

[AndMat*]

Canada Faces USA on Sunday in a friendly.
They also face Cuba june 8th at home and Hondorus away. Both games are world cup Qualifiers. If we can beat Hon away we should win this group.

[Lebanese Leaf]

Big game for Canada tonight against the USA. And we're missing Atiba Hutchinson. The injuries just keep mounting. I can't say I'm too confident for tonight, but let's hope for the best.

[AndMat*]

Great game by Canada. I hope Toilet was impressed.

we play Cuba away and Honduras at home

but I see Aaron Winter has stepped down

[Dark Knight]

Aaron Winter gone eh?

I dont think Mariner deserves a free pass as well. He's also to blame for this mess.

[Giuseppe Sallo]

Good riddance, Winter. He was crap. Time to spend that MLSE money and get a high quality coach.

Yeah, and our record speaks for itself. They're good but you gotta get the right mix of players. I like what Montreal did bringing DiVaio.

We've actually used 3 DP, the third is De Guzman.

I don't disagree with bringing in top-end guys from Europe, but as noted above we've used all our DP's.

But we don't need more Richard Eckersley's. Don't mind the guy but a $390K salary? Gross.

yea I know was just responding to a guy who said we needed to go after top Euro talent just wanted to show him we've used 2 DP's on 2 guys from Europe.

btw solid win for Canada today but the big game is on tuesday

[theaub]

Hope to see some red at BMO for it.

Lord knows if its like Montreal in '08 it won't end well.

[mpleafan]

http://www.thestar.com/iphone/Sports/article/1213038 smh. pretty embarrassing. Wonder if any discipline coming?

[Cruiser008]

LOL you just have to laugh at this stuff.

[Dark Knight]

This whole team needs a makeover. Everything from management to the players. From the team name, to the logo, to the jerseys.

Everything needs to change!

[AndMat*]

Lol rofl

[htpwn]

Just pathetic.

A makeover? More like an exorcism...

What else can happen at this point?

[Modo]

One of 'em even tried to outrun a cop and couldn't even do that right.

Pretty much says it all, with this embarrassing franchise.

Toronto up 3-1 at half time

[trellaine201]

I probably shouldn't chime in but I watched this game. I played soccer for many years. But this Toronto team is awful. Doesn't seem like they have no skill? Almost zero ball control.

I'm just shocked at the level of soccer. I thought it would be better.
