TFC vs the White Cappers

Hello TFC nation

It me nick dropping by, to keep the blog going until a suitable replacement comes along.

Yesterday the mighty TFC lost what i consider to be gimme game at BMO field against the Whitecaps, and to be honest it was night and day between the first and second half, in the first half we had bad passing, bad defense, bad running with the ball; if you can name it we were bad with it.

In the second half everything changed, The TFC players seemed to realize that the Canada Day holiday is only us regular folk and not for them player folk. The formation change and substitutions at half time were interesting, because it allowed Armada Guevara to become the central link between the defense and the attacking players and it pushed Jimmy Brennan up the field to make more attacking runs.

Overall Toronto was unlucky to lose the game but as John Carver said if the performance in the first half was the same as the second half, and they had lost the game, then he could have no complaints, but the first half was so devoid of any cohesion that the game was just disappointing.
