Nice report. I think a vast majority of both fan bases just want to have some fun banter and not get too personal. Cosmos fans on the other hand.........

I said before the game that I didn't mind missing Frank as much because Iraola would debut, and he could have an even bigger impact on the team because he is such an upgrade at the position. After today, and even with that 2nd half giveaway, I still think so.
I do have some concern over fielding two wings that are that attack minded with such poor center backs.

Thanks for coming by and posting this.honest and fair.
Iraola looked out of sorts but he had virtually no support down the right flank. He kept looking for that first time ball down the line and a 1-2 into overlap / overload heaven and Ballouchy just wasn't thinking quickly enough. I'm looking forward to seeing him build an understanding with whoever ends up on the right. Let's hope they can play a wall pass.
Most teams that play with aggressive full backs will have the CDM drop in between the back two to make what is essentially a back 3 when going forward. Didn't see Jacobsen doing anything of the sort. Coaching issue or player issue?
Somebody mentioned that midfield wasn't the problem today but I don't think any of those balls through to Giovinco or (the guy who crossed it for his third) makes it with adequate pressing. I often have a hard time figuring out what kind of player Mix is, but he runs his balls off in midfield and gives people very little time to pick those passes out. Not nearly enough of that today. Not sure where it will come from when we're playing with Pirlo and Lampard either. Mix as a midfield destroyer? Maybe we'll just rely on never losing the ball.
Angelino didn't put a foot wrong. Fucking immaculate. We have a player.

I'm sorry but it only points to either Kreis doesn't have control of the team or doesn't know how to prepare them. The top guys don't need coaching but these lower level guys look clueless. I find it funny how he is talking about how Gio was allowed to run wild...like he doesn't have anything to do with it?!
Our midfield isn't capable of playing to the caliber of Iraola and Angelino. Thank god Pirlo is coming to anchor that.
Indeed. At 18, I was trying not to get an STD, and fail out of college. And Angelino is playing professional soccer. I hope he has a long and prosperous career.
While it wasn't a great or even really satisfactory performance I'm glad I didn't miss this it was a spectacle. Thought about skipping because I wasn't feeling good in the morning glad I didn't. Entertaining if frustrating.
Kwame is the worst player on the team no argument and that's impressive since we have a lot of dross.
I don't think Wingert is good but he did make a crucial tackle that was a key play in us holding on to one point from this.
I do think Poku is good and want him to get playing time but at times we as a fan base have the rose tinted glasses on for the guy. I think he made some very poor decisions with the ball today.
Villa just on fire. Yes he did miss a chance or two but can't fault 8 goals in the last 7 believe. Would think he'll only get better once Pirlo and Lampard are in support.
Angelino was Impressive can't of asked for anything more. Iraola was good but not perfect. Would be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that his weak moments came from rust and having to cover for some crap players surrounding him. I expect big things from him too and Pirlo in front of him and a better player than Kwame in center beside him (a scarecrow might manage that) and I'm excited for him going forward.
Please sign Tefu or another actual professional center back
Had a few Italians a few rows in front of me who seemingly came out just to cheer Giovinco. Found this irritating. If your a Toronto fan fair play to you still annoying but I get it but listening to these guys presumably NY locals after his goals got up my nose a bit.

Yeah I agree. For all the hoopla surrounding this team...it's been a disappointment. It'll get better as everyone becomes more emotionally invested in this team.
It'll get better the day we DONT sing hey baby to open a match. You'd think this far in people would know whether or not others are NYC and wouldn't have to ask every week.
I missed the game for my mom's 86th birthday.
What was our back line's excuse?
</rimshot>
I read the comments and thought KWS couldn't be as bad as everyone said.
Watched the DVR. Wow. He was.
Not much to add at this point to everyone's substantive comments so just a couple of side points.
I disagree with what many said and our second goal was an own goal. Mullins deserved credit just for out-hustling 3 TFC players who had position and a better angle than him, but the deflection took a cross that wasn't going towards the goal and put it on goal. That's an own goal.
The universe made up for it with Creavalle's horrible, no good, terrible, really bad clearing attempt straight to Mullins's noggin, which he duly put in.
And KWS sucked. Just in case nobody noticed.

That makes things 10x worse.
Almost on cue, it was sang about every 10 minutes throughout the game
Why is Kwame's rating so high? A 2.3/10 is too much for him.
Probably giving him credit for the perfect form body check on the penalty call. Rangers scouts were drooling.
Angelino passes better than half the vets on the team. Plus he's great going forward and he held his own in the air. Gonna love watching this kid for the rest of the season
