Les Tete-Carées gagne bein sur!!

Come on now, let's not kid ourselves. TFC dominated this game front to back to pull out a 1-0 victory, a scoreline that is very flattering to Montreal. They had chances but few and far between, with hardly any possession and have nothing to complain about because it could have easily been 5-0. If they had come away with points it would have been by pure luck and not by design or any kind comparable gameplay. One great thing about this game for sure was it didn't rain! Man, what gives, it was calling for it all day and we got hardly a drop. Ok so this is how an exciting night went with TFC now having SIX, count 'em, SIX big points to lead the pool.

First things first, Rick and I had some podcast levels to sort out. Peeps be complainin' about the volume but this shit is DIY so give me a break.


Here is the beautiful walk up to BMO field and discovery of the Montreal "Ultras" (oooooooooh).





Everyone's looking good in the warm up.



Ok let's get this started Canada.


OH MY


Lots of action early on and with Wynne getting injured, Barrett comes on and ...


GOOOOOOOOOL. For real best goal so far this season. Chad Barret we'll get to you later though.

Ok so take a good hard look at this guy. This seriously gets boring but his blunders of possibly 2, but 1 definite penalty might have been the worst call I've seen this year. We're in 106 so it was right in front of us, so maybe most people didn't see exactly how brutal his 'non'-penalty was but trust me, it was something else!


Second half gets chippy with lots more chances, red cards and MISSED BREAK-AWAYS.




So my take on Barrett is this - I don't really care so much the guy can't finish when he's all alone. But for real I don't think he should be the target man. That should go to Vitti, who on his few chances at that position, has shown (unfortunately offside) that he can place the ball exactly where it needs to go. Barrett would look really good where Vitti is now, a bit behind because the guy can score mid-range and has an amazing work ethic to win battles and create chances.

Well after all that *deep breath* we came out with the 1-0 victory, which was well deserved.



Vitti the MOM, which could have been him or De Ro who has been a beast three games in a row. But Vitti's dribbling and ability to get back to help out was what does it for me. He hasn't scored, mostly because he really needs a good chance to be the target man, but his skills and football I.Q. are far above most of the players on that pitch.


Good game, great form, bring on Chitown.
