Great start for TFC, another goal should really seal the deal.

Would love if TFC would push for it.

Disastrous end to the first half.

Vancouver's youth is giving us all kinds of trouble.

Wow, our lack of possession is killing us. Bendik bailed us out 3 times in 5 mins.

Toronto FC has been pretty disappointing this year so far.

What a roller coaster of a game. TFC didn't look good for most of it as the youth of Vancouver could easily outrun most of them.

It should have never came down to penalty kicks, but if we have to win dirty I'll take it.

I worry now how tired we'll be for NYRB on Saturday now. We need a league win too.

"TFC ACQUIRES WARNER FROM IMPACT FOR NAKAJIMA-FARRAN"

thats odd. I'm suspecting they're trying to free up cap space to sign a big name player?

I'm not sure I understand this move.....I guess because Bradley is leaving. Still don't like it though.

Terrible move unless it was done to make room for Brek Shea.

Issey was playing great, and was great value too. I don't understand this move if it stands alone.

Also the way this was done was terrible. Agent had no idea of this as of this morning, and it's Issey's 30th birthday. He has a big party planned in Toronto that will likely now be canceled.

I know it's a business, but we have a tradition of treating players poorly.

gotta feel for the guy. I thought he was technically sound, good pace, overall solid winger.

I sure hope TFC has something big coming up after BRadely comes back from WC. Collen Warner seems to be only a stop gap solution while he's out so...

Rumor has it we picked up Giovanni Piccolomo a 20 year old Brazillian attacking midfielder/winger. I guess that's why we dropped Issey. You can see on his Instagram he has pictures with Julio Cesar and him at real sports bar.
His bio translates to
"Professional Athlete Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. Currently in Toronto FC. Blessed by God"

Anyone know anything about him? Hopefully he can come in and play right away, a stop gap is clearly needed until Bradley returns.

Speaking of, this will be the first World Cup where I'll be heavily interested in US games.
