Blowout or bust for Toronto FC
T.O. needs to rack up big score against Montreal tonight to win first title
Daniel Girard
Two years ago yesterday, Toronto FC scored its biggest victory in team history – a 4-0 thumping of FC Dallas at BMO Field.
A repeat is what's required tonight in Montreal as TFC closes out the Canadian Championship against the Impact.
A win by at least four goals gives TFC its first trophy, the Voyageurs Cup, and a place in the CONCACAF Champions League against the top teams in North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

Impact short-handed for tilt with TFC
Montreal missing key contributors as it looks to play spoiler in the Canadian Championship finale

It seems an unlikely hill to conquer in a season where so much has gone wrong for Toronto FC: routing the Montreal Impact by at least four goals – on Montreal’s home field – to snatch a last-gasp berth in the CONCACAF Champions League.
It might not look quite as imposing now.
Impact head coach Marc Dos Santos says his focus is on Saturday’s United Soccer Leagues clash with the Vancouver Whitecaps, not today’s tilt with TFC in a competition from which Montreal has already been eliminated.

TFC must get really offensive

Toronto FC will be going into tonight's road game against the Montreal Impact down four goals before it starts and still without Canadian international forward Ali Gerba.
Director of soccer Mo Johnston had hoped to announce Gerba's signing this week, with an eye to perhaps playing him in the key Nutrilite Canadian Championship game before the final rosters had to be in Tuesday.

Toronto waives Ricketts and Smith
Associated Press
TORONTO -- Toronto FC has come to an agreement to terminate the contract of midfielder Rohan Ricketts.
Ricketts, from England, had four goals and four assists in 27 games last season for the club after signing in April, but this season had found himself mostly on the bench.
He appeared in 12 games in 2009 but only three as a starter. He had no goals or assists in 316 minutes.
