I smell...

 

Jozy's crocodile tears, eh?

After last year this is almost a must-win. 

 

I know it's not really a must, even with a loss we are still way ahead of them in the standings, but it would be nice to bury them as much as possible.


Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

One of the worst teams in the league, so I guess I expect either a complete demolishment of TFC or an agonizingly boring 1-0 loss.

Toronto looked awful against NYCFC. At one point Bradley was the only one actively trying it seemed. 

 

Just remembered we are missing Royer for this one.

TFC is STILL too busy taking a victory lap from last season. Their fanbase has been fed with a cup. Ours is still starving. Three points from this match. No excuses.

Great time to get hot. Make a statement and move on. Only thing to focus on now is SS and MLS cup so no more resting players. Lets get it.


LONG LIVE METRO

feels weird not to have a July 4 away game.

I feel like Toronto is just having a hard time getting motivated.  They won it all last year.  Then played an EXTREMELY spirited CCL tournament where they were really giving it everything.  Now just seem like they are coasting because they know they can win 5 straight without much of an issue.

 

Jozy being out still is the major thing.  

 

Curious to see who takes Royer's spot.  Wonder if it's Muyl or they use Etienne there.  Continue to be frustrated with Etienne.  Not enough final product from him. It's there too, but sometimes he seems content doing something amazing, only to see the end product narrowly miss.

In Cups. Something we have never managed to do.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Yep, agree.  Main point is I just hope they don't show up big time against us.  Still almost certain they'll go on a run and make playoffs, just hope it's not yet.

Agree about Etienne, he had a couple of golden chances in the Philly Open Cup game that he really should of converted.   But, he's still been very good for us at times.  Muyl, FWIW, also seems to do all of the right things up until the final moment.

I'd be very surprised if they aren't a playoff team, as well. They're only 6 points out of the last playoff spot with a game in hand. Let's hope they keep sleepwalking against us this weekend.

Even against Dallas he has to finish one of those chances.  Sometimes he comes away from those looking like "Aww that was great, I'll get it next time" instead of thinking that chance might never come again.
