New York Red Bulls vs. Toronto FC: Match Night Commentary

by

Red_bulls_logo2008_026

Good evening folks. We are here in Orlando for tonight's Disney Soccer Classic Final between the New York Red BUlls and Toronto FC.

I will be providing commentary throughout the night so please feel free to follow along here. As always, you are welcome to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Enjoy the action.

————————-

HALFTIME– Subs in for Toronto are Ali Gerba, O'Brian White, Marvell Wynne, Emmanuel Gomez and a trialist. We'll figure out who is coming out shortly. I would imagine that the two trialist strikers are out.

————————

HALFTIME– Caleb Patterson-Sewell, Luke Sassano, Seth STammler, Austin Da Luz and Connor Chin are in. Coundoul, Jaager, Ubiparipovic, Agudelo and Oebster are coming out for New York.

————————

HALFTIME– Apologies for the low audio on the video feed. That was probably my fault for not speaking up. We're in an outdoor press area, as opposed to a closed radio booth, so I didn't want to be the guy yellow on a broadcast. I'll work on that for the second half.

If you couldn't hear it, you missed some great jokes. Okay, maybe not.

————————

HALFTIME– New York Red Bulls 2, Toronto FC 0. Juan Pablo Angel with two goals. Joel Lindpere looks good, as does John Agudelo. Roy Miller looks solid at left back, while Tim Ream has been steady at centerback.

For Toronto FC, the tandem of Nick Garcia and Ty Harden just isn't good enough, but the combo of Sam Cronin and Julian DeGuzman could be very good. Not impressed at all with either striker.

————-

 

————–

33rd minute- I'm getting ready to switch over to do the audio commentary along with Toronto FC TV's video. We'll make that move soon, see how that works.

————-

32nd Minute- GOAL RED BULLS!!!! Juan Pablo Angel heads home a corner from Lindpere. Red Bulls 1, Toronto FC.

————-

28th minute- Agudelo looks very confident on the ball. Not sure what the hold up is on him signing. He looks ready to go.

(Please keep comments limited to comments, NOT to play-by-play. Thanks)

————-

26th Minute- Another good sequence from NY, but can't put a shot on frame.

————-

23rd Minute- Agudelo torches Harden before unleashing a shot that's deflected for a corner. Tim Ream heads the corner kick high.

Agudelo and Ream have looked very good in pre-season.

————-

21st Minute- Okay folks, here's a proposition. Not sure how many of you are following tonight, but I might swap this commentary for a live video feed accompanied by my audio commentary. Who is up for that? Let me know in the comments. 

————-

19th Minute- Not convinced that the Ty Harden-Nick Garcia centerback tandem could hold up come the regular season.

————-

18th Minute- Jaager with a very nice run down the right wing and good cross that just misses Angel. Promising stuff from the right back.

————-

15th Minute- Juan Pablo Angel misses with a soft bicycle kick that goes wide but still sends the crowd into a frenzy.

————-

14th Minute- The Cronin-DeGuzman central midfield could be tough for teams to deal with come the regular season. Two high workrate players with good passing skills.

————-

11th Minute- DeGuzman's glancing header is wide.

————-

10th Minute- Toronto FC is playing with two trialists up top as its search for strikers continues. Neither has had a look yet.

————-

8th Minute– Frei with a save on Angel. Frei's rocking the bald head now.

Agudelo hit with a crunching tackle from DeGuzman.

————

7th Minute- Here is Toronto FC's lineup:

———-Peter Ijeh—-Kosta Bajic———–

——————–Cronin———————

Brennan—————————-DeRosario

——————DeGuzman——————

Nane——-Harden——–Garcia——Gargan

——————-Cronin————————-

————

4th Minute- John/Juan Agudelo is in the lineup after missing Thursday's match vs. Houston. The kid has filled out and looks strong since his U-17 days.

————

3rd Minute- Here is New York's starting lineup:

————Angel———-Agudelo—————

Oebster—–Lindpere—Ubiparipovic——Hall

Miller——–Ream——-Petke————Jaager

——————–Coundoul————————

————

1st Minute– We're under way. Lineups coming shortly.

  4. How much can it possibly cost to stream the games on the internet? Not sure why RBNY does not have this on it’s website as opposed to having to go to the Toronto website. I hope they are reading this or someone can pass along the message. They look great so far though. Angel and Agudelo need to be playing together Opening Day.

  9. Ey yo Ives, I don’t it’s the mic, I think you’re just not speaking loud enough. Don’t be afraid to get a little base up in there, you won’t blow our ears out.

  13. This feed looks good, i wish the internet feeds we try looking for every weekend were this great, that way i can watch EPL, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A and Bundesliga on my laptop, nicely and without having to search for good feeds

  14. The audio commentary volume should be doubled at least. I thought it was just someone talking in the background until I put on a pair of headphones.

  42. Argudelo blows by the TFC defense and his shot is parried by Frei for a corner

    Bulls look like a much better team but they still have trouble finishing…as I type that Angel misses a point blank shot from 10 yards out!

  44. Angel misses a point blank opportunity as he shoots straight at Frei in the 7th minute. A bike by Angel goes wide in the 14th… Jaeger misses a wide open header of a corner kick in the 16th…
