The first half and second half 11 will be interesting in this one after seeing what poch did in the first game.

When do the WC boys join the pre-season schedge?

That's part of it. Don't let him run off the defender's left shoulder is the other. Shit left foot, no movement in the box. He's only dangerous if you give him a clear shot on his right foot up to about twenty yards out.

Rocket science it ain't.

(Braces self for another 'doh' rating from Defoe-loving coyspurs18.)

Ha just now seen this. The doh rating had nothing to do with like or dislike of Defoe, honestly not really a big fan. The doh rating was for the "you're right they'll be MLS champs" statement in response to somebody saying Toronto aren't shit. Next time at least tag me so I can respond in less than a week. :) I gave you a friendly rating this time pumpkin in case you were offended by the doh.

Not ideal getting ill on the first day of the tour.. Thankyou to the doctors & nurses #homebound

well that explains why he didn't get a runout against Seattle - and won't against Toronto.

Leaving us with Freidal and the inexperienced 18 year old Luke McGee as back up if Freidal gets injuured !

Wonder when Lloris and Vorm are due back ?

Pretty excited for this one after last match. Even if our defense was rotten, at least we were fun to watch.

I'm really hoping to see a starting midfield/attack of this:

------ Capoue ------- Holtby -------
Lamela ------ Erisken ---- Ceballos
-------------- Soldado --------------

Who gives a shit about the defenders at this point?

This is the most important thing for me. I'm looking forward to some really entertaining games next season. Poch is clearly coaching our boys to play some really attractive one touch football.

This news did have me wondering if maybe that's what the delay is in announcing Davies. Maybe Vorm is flying in from UK to join the tour since Archer had to leave...and they'll have their pics taken together?

No don't think so, but I'm not sure what it is, but a couple of alternative theories :

1. The deals for Davies Vorm and Sigurdsson will only happen if all 3 are done - because it suits both Spurs and Swnasea, so if whilst Davies might have been completed on (say) Monday the clubs are waiting until the last contract is signed before announcing them.

2. The delay is to create a bit of razzmataz, so we announce the 2 new players just as they appear on the field before the Toronto game - all part of the Spurs marketing plan to get ourselves better known in North America.

Of course the delays could just be down to'cockups' !

So tomorrow night, 2359 in UK? Am i correct? Cause its already Wednesday here. :)

Yea, but the kickoff will probably be about 15 minutes later is my guess. ESPN likes to have time to promote themselves, and with them televising it I wouldn't expect it to kickoff exactly at 2359.

Sexual. I'd prefer it to have Capoue more central and deeper, with Holtby RCM and Eriksen LCM, but I think the way you put it is closer to how Poch likes to set up
