Looks like this kid can be a great one himself, kudo's to his debut. Also really liking what Richie Laryea on he right wing, he is a great player as well.

Little bit late catching up, but have to say I'm a little jealous. Madrid is on my travel bucket list.

So on Saturday night just past I went to see Real Madrid v Valencia in the Santiago Bernabeu. What an incredible sporting arena and experience. Incredible atmosphere.

Also did the tour of the stadium and their trophy room is something else

This doesn't bode well.

Went to bed last night, hit the record button for the TFC game, all excited to watch this AM, turned on the recorded event and no game. This Covid thing is starting to piss me off, Oh that started about 4 months ago.

TFC down Montreal 4-3 yesterday, led by "a hat trick by the Reds' 20-year-old scoring sensation Ayo Akinola". Kid has scored 5 goals in the last 2 games. Sort of gives us some breathing space if Altidore is injured/traded or moves on next season.

TFC advance to the knockout stage with a 0-0 snooze fest against New England. Have to say 100% humidity at 9AM in the Florida heat would slog anyone down.

1st knockout game at 8PM tonight.. Go TFC

Highlander · July 27, 2020, 10:08:18 AM

TFC didn't show up, bad effort and they is out of here. Next game sometime in late August.

Was fun watching Ritchie Laryea on Sunday against Columbus. Assisted beautifully on two goals and then scored this unbelievable goal. Watch his footwork:

TFC starting to really connect the dots. Beat Columbus and then Phili yesterday and looked very good in both. These kids Laryea and Akinola are great and Pozuelo is putting on a MVP season.
Altidore left with some hamstring tightness, his play of late is a little concerning.

Toronto wins again against New England, 1-0 with another beautiful goal by Akinola. They are now sitting 3 points in front of everyone. Perhaps another Supporters Shield this year. And without any support from Bradley or Altidore.

After losing two injury riddled games in a row, TFC bounce back with 4 returnees to the team and win 2-1 against New York. Akinola returns and scores a beaut, followed by Ponzuela scoring on a penalty, which was set up by no other than Laryea. 2nd game in a row played in the pouring rain.
They still have a chance to claim the Supporters Shield. Last game of season coming us and then the playoffs. As I don't watch the NFL, it's going to go dead until NHL resumes.

Highlander · November 08, 2020, 12:46:23 PM

Last game of the season, Sunday 8th for TFC before the playoffs, 3:30PM EST. Playing Red Bulls, they have a kid named Clark on their team, excellent young striker.

Highlander · November 22, 2020, 01:13:57 PM

Playoffs start for TFC on Tuesday against Nashville. Let's hope for a long run in this sports drought. I am not a big NFL fan.

Highlander · December 01, 2020, 12:36:17 PM

Greg Vanney steps down as coach of TFC. Thanks for the years Greg and best of luck as you proceed down lifes road.
