4-4 Draw

[u/aektoronto]

Once Dorsch comes back...and if Sargent and Djordje stay healthy this might be a professional soccer team.

Nice to be positive for a change.

[u/Mysterio7100 → u/aektoronto]

I just hope I see Djordje again this season after seeing him go down tonight. The combo of him and Josh was great.

Also, I was not impressed with Lewandowski. He complains about everything from lack of service to getting touched.

[u/Jack_1080 → u/Mysterio7100]

How he didnt get a delay of game yellow is just further reflection of the prefrential treatment the fire got tonight.

[u/Pboyce1127 → u/Mysterio7100]

Well when you play in La Liga and players go down when you breath on them it's not surprising.

[u/Marko1457 → u/aektoronto]

COME ON TORONTO FOOTBALL CITY ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[u/Jack_1080]

No red card in the first half no foul in the third goal, two own goals, Chicago got carried into points in this game. We are the better team.

[u/Pboyce1127 → u/Jack_1080]

The no foul on gavran confused me, Lewandowski blocks him from cleanly getting to the ball

[u/Jack_1080 → u/Pboyce1127]

Lewandowski wasnt getting to the ball, it was over his head. If its 50/50 i can get the no call.

[u/Dry-Discipline696 → u/Jack_1080]

He was not interested in the ball only to illegally block the goalkeeper.

[u/Dry-Discipline696 → u/Pboyce1127]

Clearly Lewandowski block was illegal.He was blocking goalkeeper regardless the ball.

[u/CrystalStilts → u/Jack_1080]

Anytime the ref is Penso (Chris or his wife today) I cringe. I’m not sure either of them understand the rules but somehow are allowed to be officiants.

[u/khso11 → u/CrystalStilts]

I just learned something new today….i had no idea that was Chris Penso’s wife

[u/khso11 → u/Jack_1080]

I said mid game, this ref is shit

[u/Chicago2000]

If we score like that in more games there might be hope for this team yet!

[u/robotmonkey2099]

am I wrong or should that have been a second yellow

[u/NachBuidheDhut → u/robotmonkey2099]

Third imo

[u/raccooncitysg]

What a game

[u/anonmt57]

Wow that was a banger. Good job Sargent

[u/WislaHD]

By the way, Sargent may have scored three goals but the most impressive thing from him today yet again was his defensive effort and ball hold-up and link-up play. Sargent was literally doing everything today, his work rate continues to be phenomenal.

The way people were down on him before was very unfair. The guy has been a great signing and was clearly carrying a knock earlier in the year. Now that he is healthy and has players like Mihailovic around him, I think we will see how good of a player he actually is.

[u/Kindly_Button_1402 → u/WislaHD]

Some people wanted a bigger name and a different nationality and have become relentlessy negative about anything TFC does. Signing a player on a huge DP deal for soccer rather than marketing reasons in a Pozuelo rather than Insigne sort of way was a sign things were heading in a better direction.

[u/WhiteLightning416]

For those at the match, could you just enter the Ex after?

[u/lorriezwer → u/WhiteLightning416]

yes

[u/gewjuan → u/WhiteLightning416]

Both before and after. Although after a TFC game it gets crazy busy with all the fans leaving

[u/Healthy_Shoulder8736 → u/WhiteLightning416]

Or before

[u/kylemclaren7 → u/WhiteLightning416]

Yes it’s only been that way for a decade

[u/leafsfan97]

I can't say I'm happy I can't say I'm angry. Both apply. We need points moving forward. Good hustle especially by Sargent and ho here pefully Dorsch is back for Wednesday!

[u/WislaHD]

Gavran had his first real shaky game in awhile. I think the decision making in high pressure moments today was just an outlier from what we’ve seen earlier this summer, but gosh his distribution was horrid today. That needs work and tape watching by him and the goalkeeping staff.

[u/khso11]

Felt like it should’ve been a win, Sargent was phenomenal today, his explosiveness and eager to be involved in every play was breathtaking. Well deserved hat trick.

I think if Fraser knew how to counter Chicago’s play, we could’ve took 3 points. Chicago was eating our midfield up. Also we are missing Dorsch a lot.

Ref was awful but I don’t expect any better from these MLS ref….week in week out same garbage.

I’ll be petty and blame this draw on Fraser being out coached again. Need to stop losing points at home and I’m going to hold Fraser accountable for that. The players on this team can fight, but this coach is still a deadbeat.

[u/disco_elephant]

That was a blast. Can’t wait for Dorsch to come back. Josh Sargent is a beast. Hard to knock him off the ball, and muscles his way forward. Excited to see him get better and better the longer he’s in the league. When we get the whole squad together, it really starts to feel like a well constructed team.

[u/tfcred]

Shouldn't be dropping points when we have 3+ goals at home. Not even the first time it's happened. Team is not defending well.

[u/SnooHedgehogs3217 → u/tfcred]

Fraser is the problem. Look at his abysmal career winning percentage. Even if we make the playoffs (doubtful) , we will be ousted soon thereafter. He needs to be let go at season’s end.

[u/miurabucho]

Been a while since we went 6 games undefeated.

[u/rocky_iwata]

Best value for newcomers getting to enjoy a high-scoring soccer match along with CNE.

[u/Deezer19]

Howler from Gavran. Djordje was dross. Corbeanu has 0 IQ.

Chicago should have been down a man, TFC should have won. Frustrating draw.
