Home 07/12 - Toronto

[LionNYC]

Toronto looked anemic today versus LA. Lost 4-0. Either LA is that good (They are, even without Zardes, Gonzalez, and Gerrard), or Toronto is nothing without Bradley and Jozy (maybe). We should win this game.

Super Frank is going to really help out, even if he's just a second half sub. You wonder what Kreis is going to do with him.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

That's some fast visa work.

Even the consulate can tell that our fullbacks suck

I think it's both.

 

[FootyLovin]

Yep. They announced it during the broadcast.

They did?!?

I was either too drunk, too screaming at the TV or too both to hear that.

Great news.

 

[kush23]

anyone want to throw out a potential starting XI?

Always happy to.

Edit: accidentally hit post reply. This assumes Hernandez is still out and Tefu isn't ready to go. Expect Angelino and Shelton to get sub minutes.

Speaking of the Gold Cup, does the MLS have a list of players who are participating? This could change the way the table looks a lot of the next few weeks.

I like it. If/when Hernandez comes back, what do you guys think about putting Facey at LB and having a CB tandem of Hernandez and KWS? Or Hernandez and the new signing Tefu? Basically, I am just looking for a way to not see Wingert on the field.

Absolutely not. Facey has proven himself to be a CB. TFC will be the last we see of Wingert. By NE our back line will likely be:

Angelino---Facey---Tefu---Iraola

(Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chest.)

Lol...i actually chuckled out loud. Good stuff.

 

[william straiton]

I hope to see Angelino start, but won't be surprised to see him on the bench.

Either way I believe he will add a different dimension to the team going forward.

I hope you are right on Wingert. No secret I think he is awful. And for goodness sake, would it hurt him to have his jersey untucked a little. He doesnt look like a soccer player and more importantly doesnt play like one.

I think its to risky starting angelino and facey together. Two young youth players. Facey has proven himself and K think Angelino coming in as a sub is the way to go, barring injuries.

If that's the view from Kreis then I hope he uses Calle (assuming healthy) at LB. But I suspect you'll see a lot of Wingert there to start games.

 

[Ryan_Kost12]

Has Andoni Iraola been training with us this past week?

Is Calle 100%?

no sign of him yet. Expect to see him on the practice field on Monday, though.

The U.S. State Department stopped issuing work visas in mid-June due to a massive computer glitch. Apparently they just got the system back up and running a few days ago but there is still a tremendous backlog in issuing work visas. I have a feeling that our Spanish reinforcements might have gotten caught up in this visa fiasco. Regardless, the sooner they get here the better. That back line is in shambles right now.
