Clearly spoke too soon.

Great win, but those early mistakes still concern me. We won't always come back from being down 2-0.

You're not out of the game if Defoe is on his game.

Great comeback win. We need those points.

I just hope we have a better start next game.

Caldwell out for Wednesday but Bradley is back.

I really want to beat Vancouver.

Not a soccer guy but MLSE has given me the choice of 4 tickets to AC Milan vs Olympiacos next Thursday or 2 tickets to a TFC game later this season.

Which would be a better soccer experience for a soccer noob?

Wow really depends.

AC Milan vs Olympiacos you will clearly see better skilled players, but only if the regulars are involved. Since this game for them will be considered preseason, you may end up seeing a lot of trialists and younger players.

If crowd involvement and the home team is what you want to see I would pick the TFC game. Defoe is a world class player, and so is Bradley so you'll still see some top level soccer, plus have the added joy of watching the supporters group.

It's really up to you, both games should be fun, but I think the crowd will be better for TFC. I'm biased though too.

Don't even consider the TFC game. Milan/Olympiacos for sure.

Seriously, don't even consider the TFC game. You can always buy some cheap tickets if you want that experience.

What a bunch of haters.

I would have way more fun with a packed house over the half empty stadium that Milan/Olympiacos will see.

You can buy tickets to go see TFC anytime. Don't think thr franchise will fold anytime soon

Milan/Olympiacos are legendary clubs. I don't see why one should pass up the opportunity to see those teams regardless of how packed the stadium was. I would seriously regret not going.

Don't go to the TFC game. Just buy some cheap tickets next year and see the teams with great history.

And I'm sure the stadium will be packed. There are Milan and Oly fans everywhere and a bunch of neutrals will probably show up

I would pick the Toronto FC tickets unless you're a fan of either team. Milan & Olympiacos will be playing their B squads so it's not really like "seeing" Milan. The crowd for the event will be sold out; but I expect it will be filled with a bunch of neutrals so the atmosphere won't be great.

If you're a soccer noob; then go to the TFC game. It will be more fun in the stands and they're a very competitive team this year.

Good first half, but TFC can't find the back of the net.

Starting to think this one will end 0-0 tonight. Really want the three points though.

I really wanted those three points. We looked like the better side in the 1st half, but Vancouver made us pay on an early mistake in the 2nd.

Gilberto though could have won it all with that final header.

Toronto played the better game but couldn't bury one of those scoring chances. It was a really good game to watch.

I'm really impressed by the athleticism of the Whitecaps midfield. They play out of control sometimes but they look good when they have that engine room going.

Doniel Henry as the player of the match. He really was a beast out there and for the most part shut down Vancouver. He's developing into one of the great young players for Canada.

Yup, getting better every game.

His mental mistakes from even earlier this season have almost all disappeared. He looked great tonight.

We are crumbling. Glad I can't watch this game.

Crumbling? Hardly, as we are still 3rd in the East.

Though TFC's lack of scoring chances and the mounting injuries are clearly cause for some concern.
