Performance-related pay for TFC (http://www.cbc.ca/sports/blogs/2009/03/performancerelated_pay_for_tfc.html)
Nigel Reed
In soccer, as in all professions, there is an agreed rate for the job.
The compensation is based on a number of criteria, including age, experience and skill plus, to an extent, a perceived market value. Generally speaking, an impact player - one who scores or creates goals - will earn more than a defensive midfielder or a full-back.
A striker, for example, is the one who will finish the chances, receive the fans' adulation, grab the media headlines, sell more replica jerseys and collect the biggest cheque because of his value to the organization.

TFC face D.C. United in S.C.
Reds look for second win at Carolina Cup
Toronto FC take on D.C. United in the Carolina Cup at Blackbaud Stadium on Wednesday. Kick off is at 5:00 p.m. live on Toronto FC TV. You can also follow the game through our live match blog (http://toronto.fc.mlsnet.com/t280/fans/blogs/match_day/index.jsp) on TorontoFC.ca. TFC won their opening match of the tournament on Saturday beating hosts Charleston Battery 2-1 with goals from Dwayne De Rosario and Rohan Ricketts. Adrian Serioux is to play against D.C. despite being sent off on Saturday for receiving two yellow cards. Pablo Vitti could miss the match although he has been training with the team. The Argentine striker was kept out of the win over Charleston as a precaution after picking up a slight knock.

It's a small wonder that Toronto FC spend a week in Charleston, SC, while preparing for the new season. The place is gorgeous. Steeped in history, plenty to do, and a wonderful climate.
The Carolina Cup presason tournament is well underway. We watched the double-header the other night and were completely unimpressed with D.C. United as they played Real Salt Lake. Many of the D.C. players looked out of shape. That's certainly not the case with Toronto FC. Its fitness level and workrate is superb. Even though they went a man down against the USL's Charleston Battery, the team still passed the ball around nicely and wore down the opposition.
