    We are winning it in a walk. Not even worth discussing anymore, other than to say: how do you stay sharp when you clinch the league with 3 games to go?

    Funny, Seba getting a tweak again yesterday made me wonder (KNOCK ON WOOD) if we wouldn't, hypothetically, be better off playing the MLS Cup on the road instead of here Toronto?

    The conditions here neutralized him.

    (Stretching for things to worry about, I guess!)

    Easy solution.
    Play it in the Skydome.
    Put real grass in for the game.

    In a -10 C weather, TFC's starting 11 being far superior technically compared 1 on 1 with any other starting eleven in MLS, will almost totally lose this edge. Do you agree with this statement?

    In those freezing conditions the individual technical quality on the ball is dwarfed and the role of the brute athletic qualities, like force, speed, stamina over 90 minutes (or 120) are greatly magnified.

    You are totally right.

    Also totally wrong. A game like this can't ever be anywhere other than BMO.

    Rock and hard place.

    Have fun pitching this in the pussplops/MLS cup threads later.

    I'm just going to enjoy the Shield presentation at our home pitch.
