Mornin,
All the right moves

Such are the vagaries of life in Major League Soccer that its impossible to handicap these matches. The old moniker 'On any Given Sunday' certainly applies to this league even if most games are played on Saturday.
There is no question Toronto FC were by far the better team on Saturday night in San Jose. Yet these were the same Earthquakes who held Real Salt Lake to a draw at Rio Tinto Stadium a week ago. And yes that would be the same RSL which stomped all over Toronto the week before.

Here we go again -- Canada is making another unexpected run at the Gold Cup.
Lack of preparation games? No problem. Key Canadian players deciding to take a pass? Whatever.
The bottom line is that Canada has flat-out performed, and winning the tournament's Group of Death is no small feat. Jamaica, El Salvador, and Costa Rica are all solid CONCACAF teams; none of them even close to a walkover.
There is reason to be more encouraged by this side than the team that was robbed in the semifinal against the U.S. in the 2007 event.
