TFC started the same team as played midweek against Leon. I think that was a mistake. Michael Bradley got posterized by Wanyama on a goal off a corner.
There were a couple goal of the year contenders yesterday across the league, it was crazy.
Vancouver plays Portland tonight. The Whitecaps did not bring in the #10 that they desperately need and have been promising they'd bring in for a year now. Hard to have any faith in management in you're a whitecaps supporter.
Finally - tons of Canadians playing around the league lately. Great news for the future of the CMNT.

Saputo needed someone on fairly short notice. The chap is probably an excellent coach and tactician and rose up within the club, and likely has earned this, but Saputo treats this team as his toy, and any sign of controversy or bad results and it turns quickly. Getting pushed to the edge by the Cavs in the CC 2 years ago got Remi Garde punted the next day after they beat the Cavs. How dare a 2nd or 3rd tier team push the Impact.as much as they did. Must be the coach.
And then burning the dough to get Thierry Henry was not because he was the best coach, it was an ego stroke and to show everyone what Saputo can do.
