The Part I Write Before The Match : I honestly don’t know what to put here. I expect Toronto to field a good team. Portland will do the same. Hopefully it doesn’t rain. Um… No lightning delays either. Toronto came off a less than good outing against a very underachieving, bottom of the table DC and salvaged a draw. After struggling against the poor teams in this league, pattern dictates Portland is going to get a beating. Bold Predictions : Valeri get a goal or assist We will get to experience VAR in person tonight Toronto wins by 2 On to the Match : 15’ – Portland keeper goes down clutching his leg, decides he wants to continue. 17’ – Portland keeper restarts the game, clears the ball and immediately calls for a sub. 18’ – Meanwhile, Hagglund goes down in an odd tackle and stays down. 19’ – SUB – Hagglund off for Hernandez. Also Portland gets their sub but I don’t report such things. 21’ – Altidore lays off a pretty ball into the path of Giovinco and Vytas, my player to watch, makes an absolute nanners tackle to sweep the scoring opportunity at the doorstep away. 23’ – Delgado… C’mon Marky, one touch. Talk to Osorio about what we’ve been saying about the first touch, it changed his career. 54’ – YELLOW – Seba for something 58’ – GOAL – Seba hooks a ball in that gets cleared, then recovered and sent down the left to Morrow, who rockets one over the keeper. Magical. ROBINS 1, HIPSTERJACKS 0 60’ – Vazquez with a marker bearing down on him fires a shot from inside the penalty area just left of the goal. 68’ – Altidore gets in on goal and fires a low shot heading to the bottom right but backup keeper gets a hand to it and pushes it past the post. 72’ – GOAL – That’s just class. Seba slots a low ball across the face of goal and Vazquez side-foots it in. ROBINS 2, HIPSTERJACKS 0 76’ – GOAL – The entertainers are here! A back heel, some misdirection, and it ends with Morrow blasting one in. Amazing stuff. ROBINS 3, HIPSTERJACKS 0 79’ – SUB – Osorio off for Vazquez. 83’ – SUB – Ricketts on for Altidore 85’ – Delgado threads a beautiful ball into the box and Seba has to lunge to get a foot to it but pulls it wide. 87’ – GOAL – Ball played ahead to Ricketts who gets clattered, but the ref let it play and Delgado picked up the loose ball and ONE TOUCH buries it Morrow-styles. ROBINS 4, HIPSTERJACKS 0 89’ – GOAL – Diego Valeri runs about ten yards, beating a few defenders and pops it over Bono’s left side. ROBINS 4, HIPSTERJACKS 1 3 mins of extra time Full Time : Toronto 4, Portland 1 Man of the Match : So many good performances, Morrow for the brace Goat of the Game : pass Ref Rating : 3 out of 5, he let alot go but it was even I Am Not The Gaffer, But… : Masterclass In Case You PVR’d It : it’s an interesting game. Watch it all. Kit Spotting : Duncan wore his 90-91 Darlington home kit and it’s gloriously dated. Bold Predictions Results : Nailed it. And Valeri walked it in. Sorta. Failed it. No VAR. Nailed it. Called it with one to spare. First off, full marks to the Portland away supporters. I think it’s sad that they have their seats all the way out in Markham (north east corner), especially how much they can offer a...
