Like I have said from the start, sharing the stadium makes sense.

Sharing the pitch does not. It's that simple to me. If the Argos want to play at BMO they should develop a system where they play on top of our protected grass. Just like the NBA plays on top of protected ice surfaces around North America.

Could be the best goal scored at BMO Field ever.

Pretty sweet goal. I wish Bradley played a bit more forward. I feel he would have a few goals like that

Happy they are now considering this. Not sure how it would work, but at least it's on the table.

Probably the best news I've heard all month.

was at my first TFC game today , BMO is nice.

it was a boring first half but the 2nd half was fun. TFC missed 2 great chances to take the lead but that kid on city scored a filthy goal to win the game. I'm planning to attend more games now. Kinda sad Giovinco got subbed off early but it was an understandable decision with important games coming up, We need to make playoffs man!!!

With Konopka as keeper, I believe in this team.

I could take or leave Bradley and Altidore but Giovinco is pure entertainment. He even looked great today all alone up top. Finally puts some magic into muggle league soccer. Is he TFC's Zola?

I love Altidore and Gio, Bradley is meh. Statistically Bradley is our 3rd best player behind Seba and Konopka (small sample), but he's not much better than Benoit, Zavaleta or Altidore. Given he's a midfielder I would expect him to rank much better given the amount of touches he gets.

Bradley has another level when he plays for the national team. Hope one day he can bring that intensity w the tfc. He has so much skill and precision when pushing the ball forward. I thought today was one of his better games though

Not sure why everyone is so down on Bradley, I think he's having a fantastic season.

He's really holding the midfield together, and you can see players always looking for him when they are in trouble.

Great win yesterday, and I'm really starting to believe this team can win a round or two in the playoffs.

Watch the highlights and you'll know why Bradley is important to this team.

His passing is incredible at times.

Meh, I though Bradley was pretty weak given his talent and competition in the WC. I've watched two TFC games this year and he's looked great/.

He's been much better since he was pushed up the field. For a while, he was consistently one of the worst players on the pitch.

A lot of props for Bradley's improved play has to go to Cheyrou. He is playing that holding midfielder role better than anyone has played it for TFC - including Frings, Laba, and Bradley. Steadying presence in front of the back line, and finally someone Bradley can trust. Bradley's main issue was that he was often out of position thinking he had to cover for the entire team, which ironically would cost us over and over. With Cheyrou in the back, and Perquis manning the middle of D, Bradley seems to have relaxed and it's showing.

They should just leave Giovinco on the team of the week all season.
