Not too sure about that

Would take somebody tracking these things but I suspect we have had in the past a lot of a certain type of injury (calf) - not this year so far apart from Insigne.
I know but like I said earlier, we've had this type of thing going for years now. Maybe we just buy/develop fragile players but even Jozy stayed healthy for the most part last season after leaving here. VV was fine in LA. So far Mavinga looks bad on the field but he isn't hurt.
Not sure but we're one of the only teams I can think of that couldn't get all our DPs on the field together a few years back. Always had one of Giovinco or Jozy out, Vasquez too. Not sure what it is but it seems like our injury list has 4+ names on it permanently.

Believe Mavinga was out last week!?
I’m not commenting on the issue in question because I don’t at all know the answer, though I do know some on this board are of the mind that we lose more, or are usually at the top of, man matches lost. It would be interesting to see data on this in the context of number of matches played and under what conditions the matches are played. That’s a tough one, I think, because there is such disparity of weather, travel and field conditions in MLS.
Champions League runs seem to make for injuries and generally poor fitness/play in MLS. I remember, in our year and the year after, being envious of the quality of Liga MX rosters. They had more players who were obviously capable of starting. Much more balanced rosters.
I remember Bob saying to reporters something like “com-on guys, I read injury reports and it’s always ‘upper body, lower body’ and so don’t ask me for injury details”. At the time I thought it was odd because TFC had always used specifics to describe injuries. I see every other MLS team on the current list except us and Nashville uses specific terms!

True.
Weather forecast
15 degrees
Sunny
slight winds from the south East

My gawd, it might actually be a decent night out....
I have a cautiously optimistic feeling about this one. I can see us getting the win.
I think this is when the team is going to start pushing on and racking up some wins.
Interesting piece on Bradley and Arena.

Game Day!
Even though it should be fairly ideal conditions for the game this evening (not too hot or cold and not much wind) I do wish it was an afternoon game. At least 3 or 4 kickoff.
Something about watching a game in the warm afternoon sunshine. Miss that feeling at BMO
Expecting a strong performance by Lollo; goal/s and/or assist/s.
The others, as well, Fede, CJ, Richie, Servania, MAK, et al. (Rosted by noggin); they all need to…

It was the (mid) eighties! You had to experience it to understand and appreciate…
At this point, I'm wondering what the hell the non-COVID illness Guitierrez has. It has to be mono, doesn't it? For it to be this long and not a serious medical condition?
For those watching from home

Interesting that the Whitecaps seem to have a dedicated local crew on Apple with Blake Price and Paul Dolan, where TFC gets assigned a crew each week. Blake and Paul were both with TSN in the past. I assume we could have seen the same with Luke and Caldwell if both has left TSN ...
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Decent crowd size at this point.
As a guy who hasn't been here unless its freezing, nice to see draft back.
