Are Toronto FC’s loyal fans turning on management?
A rift in what’s been a beautiful friendship appeared to be the case this afternoon when many boycotted the start of this afternoon’s match against the Los Angeles Galaxy. They were underlining their feelings about the club’s handling of the Real Madrid exhibition game in August, not to mention a three-game losing streak that was extended in a 2-1 loss to L.A.

Troubles keep piling up for Toronto FC, on and off the field.
On top of its controversial handling of the Real Madrid exhibition match, which prompted hundreds of fans to protest yesterday before and after the game against the Los Angeles Galaxy, TFC lost its third game in a row, plus captain Jim Brennan to a twisted ankle, and there is some concern from the dressing room on management's direction the past week.

The Toronto FC again displayed the lack of a finishing touch on Saturday but it was defensive gaffes that led to their downfall in a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Toronto (4-5-4) never led in the game at BMO Field. Danny Dichio scored his second of the season in the 64th minute to draw the Toronto even, but Edson Buddle haunted his old club with the winning goal 13 minutes later.

Toronto FC's offence lacking polish
Club comes up short to visiting L.A. Galaxy despite once again outshooting opposition

Toronto FC coach Chris Cummins came to his post-game news conference clutching the official scoresheet as proof of his side's shot margin over the Los Angeles Galaxy.
"A lot of chances – again," Cummins said. "I just looked: 18 of them, 11 on target, and we haven't finished. I'm starting to sound like a broken record, aren't I?"

Late goal sinks TFC

The warning signs were there all afternoon, but it took a Toronto FC old boy to hammer the message home.
Edson Buddle, who plied his trade for TFC in their inaugural season in 2007, provided the winning margin in the 77th minute as the Los Angeles Galaxy stretched their unbeaten run to 10 games with a 2-1 win at BMO Field Saturday.

TFC can't capitalize on chances against Galaxy
Eric KoreenTORONTO -- Toronto FC coach Chris Cummins was conscious of it. If you follow TFC, you could not help but be conscious of it.
"Eighteen attempts, one goal again," Cummins said after looking at the stat sheet from TFC's 2-1 loss on Saturday to the Los Angeles Galaxy. "Listen, I sound like a record, don't I?"
