Baffling. Disgusting. Egregious.

It was Adjective Roulette Day at Toronto FC’s Kia Training Ground ahead of Wednesday night’s 401 Derby against the Montreal Impact. Bench boss Greg Vanney appeared dumbfounded after learning of Major League Soccer’s decision not to issue supplemental punishment to New York City’s Andrew Jacobson, who viciously elbowed TFC’s Damien Perquis away from the play during last weekend’s 2-0 loss to the expansion side.

Video surfaced online Sunday showing Jacobson targeting TFC’s defenceless centre back. The Toronto Sun reached out to Major League Soccer Tuesday afternoon but didn’t hear back.

“We’ve contacted the league. They reviewed it. My understanding is there isn’t anything that’s going to be done,” Vanney told reporters. “It’s beyond baffling to me. It’s as vicious an attack on a player ... as anything I’ve seen in the league in a couple of years.

“I don’t know how with the video evidence you can’t say that was some form of an egregious act,” Vanney added. “Clearly the disciplinary committee found that to be OK and I find that disgusting in my own opinion.”

Disgusting, but effective. And if Montreal Impact head coach Frank Klopas watched back tape of the literal beat down administered to TFC he might take a similar approach Wednesday night in his attempts to stop Sebastian Giovinco.

Toronto FC’s leading goal-scorer was so battered after Saturday night’s match the Reds included it in their list of grievances to the league.

“They did a good job of minimizing space and having a physical presence on our players all around the field,” Vanney said of NYC, the politically correct way of saying they beat the hell out of our team.

“They did what they set out to do. They got a result. It’s up to us to recognize that and make adjustments along the way.”

But Vanney stressed Tuesday he won’t make wholesale changes despite TFC dropping its first match in five games.

He said the Reds had chances to earn something from the game.

In Montreal, the Reds face a team with slightly less truculence but many more weapons going forward.

Ignacio Piatti is the attacking presence TFC’s Benoit Cheyrou will be tasked with slowing down.

The visitors also have decent attacking pieces in Dominic Oduro and Jack McInerney — more pace than power.

Coming off a convincing 2-0 win over Orlando City over the weekend, the Impact will be full of confidence against a side it already knocked out of the Canadian Championship earlier this season.

“A lot of people were writing them off,” Vanney said of Montreal. “They’re dangerous on the counter-attack. Piatti is a good player with time and space and the ability to get on the move. He can really make plays. Romero is a guy who takes people on.

“They’re also fairly organized as a defending team.”

With the Gold Cup weeks away, Toronto FC remains desperate for points before bidding adieu to Michael Bradley, Jozy Altdore, Jonathan Osorio and Ashtone Morgan, who have been called up by the U.S. and Canada, respectively.

The Reds currently sit two points ahead of Montreal — fourth place in the East — with a game in hand over the Impact.

Picking up points in games against Montreal and D.C. United this Saturday will provide a cushion with so many crucial pieces away on national team duty.

“It is what it is,” Bradley said of the Gold Cup. “Part of playing in MLS, part of playing through the summer is these conflicts.

“It’s something that we’ve known is coming. We’ve prepared for it. The coaches and (GM) have built the roster in a way where we can withstand that ... We’re going to need everybody.”

Especially if opposing teams start resorting to nefarious tactics to slow down TFC’s star attractions.

CALLUPS COMING

The Reds will be without as many as four starters following Saturday’s match at home to D.C. United.

Jonathan Osorio, Ashtone Morgan and reserve ’keeper Quillan Roberts will join Canada ahead of next month’s Gold Cup, the Canadian Soccer Association announced Tuesday.

“The main aim in this Gold Cup for us is to get as far as possible,” Canada head coach Benito Floro said. “We want to get to the final and every game that we get in the tournament will increase our level of play.”

Group games against El Salvador, Jamaica and Costa Rica will also prepare the Canadians for the third round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying later this summer.

Starting midfielder Atiba Hutchinson and goalkeeper Milan Borjan were left off Canada’s roster. Hutchinson is recovering from injury while Borjan declined a call-up in order to stay with his club.

In similar news, the United States named Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore to its Gold Cup roster.

The Yanks are in Group A alongside Panama, Haiti and Honduras.

The players involved are expected to miss anywhere from two to four MLS games.
