0-1 down at halftime after Galindo sprung our offside trap. Our backline is too big and slow, they better keep the offside traps perfect or they'll have trouble dealing with the pace of the Chivas strikers.

But man oh man, those two amazing chances for Buddle and Eskandarian! Guzan coming up huge with the saves. I nearly jumped with the first chance, thought it was going to be the first ever goal in franchise history, after just 16 minutes! :p

we've looked like **** in the 2nd half. we had 3 or 4 good chances in the 1st half, all squandered by Eskandarian and Buddle (N)

we look like an amateur team out there sometimes; our passing, our offside trap, our general control on the ball, looks like a high school team at times :( 5 minutes to go, not looking good for our first game

edit: forgot to mention how bad Eskandarian is, he's given the ball away at least 20 times in the middle of the park, 0 awareness all game long

Canizales was pretty impressive in the first half. We were much better in the first half overall, but second half is all Chivas. BTW that shot Eskandarin had in the first half, imo was more of a **** up from him, rather than amazing save from Guzan. He had huge amount of time and acres of space, but decided to shot hurriedly and ended up hitting it high and almost into the middle of the net, if not for the strong pace of the ball, that would have been called a mis-hit, really should have done better there.


PS. Was that a Toronto flag i just saw? Pretty sick flag, covered like two sections.

Definitely a lot needs to be worked on but these guys are only starting to work as a team, I'd expect them to get better and more confident as the season rolls on. I thought that in the first half our right back was absolute **** (I donno who it is) and the left midfielder that got taken off first. We also need to learn to control the ball and not give it away so easily and there was a lot of high school type passing as already mentioned.

oh god, what kind of second half was that? Everybody was just walking. I don't if it's the big pitch or if they just decided they'd just play like amateurs.

A tale of 2 halves for sure... we were so unlucky not to be up 2-0 after the first half. The second half was just unacceptable, even for a new team..

I wasn't impressed with Eskandarian or Buddle, and Casey just looked lost when he came on. Hopefully finishing isn't going to become a problem area for us as the season rolls on..

yea Casey pissed me off so did Welsh, i dont like us always using the offside trap because were to slow to recover as you seen many times, also we gotta tell our defence when they think a guy is offisde still run after him dont just jog and look at the linesman.

so far a player that caught my attention was Miguel Canizales, he seems like a good player.

btw did the linesman hate us? there were 2 attacks we had that he called offside when we were liek 3 feet behind the defenders lmao

Canizales did impress...apparently he came on last minute for someone injured? If so, then maybe Canizales should take the left mid position... 'cause whoever was playing there the first half just sucked.

Canizales had a good first half, but like the rest didn't do much in the 2nd. He'll be benched as soon as Ronnie O'Brien is back..

Mo Johnson needs to work on motivating players, because if that's how the team's gonna react when they go down a goal then we're in for a long season.

Buddle played like ****. I've never seen a player try so little to get a pass, I know the passing wasn't great but Buddles effort was nothing short of pathetic and it was frustrating to watch. When he didn't have to work for a pass he played half decent, but that was like 4 times. And Eskandarian and the bycle kick what the hell was that, we looked like a team poorly trained.

Yeah, Canizales came in for O'Brien, who is supposed to be the playmaker, so it will be tough for him.

I only saw like 5 minutes of this game. I don't think Toronto touched the ball in those 5 minutes :(. I really am rooting for you guys, I have a feeling you're gonna be a tough nut to crack at home but on the road it will be a much different story.

it seems Craig Forrest has been doing some training with TFC lately and the going rumour is that he's testing his fitness to see if he can be a possible back-up for Sutton! (H)

Seeing CF back in action would be friggin amazing! Best keeper North America has produced ever IMO...
