just heard a dero sound bite on fan 590 regarding the all star game/PR conflict.

why exactly does he need to talk to the coaches? maybe this isn't the 'no brainer' we think it is.

I saw him on TFC TV and he didn't seem to think that it was a no brainer either, he actually seemed to be leaning towards the allstar game.

Hmm. To me (and I get this feeling from many others in the forum), the logic was:

Canada national team > All-star team.

When DeRosario, through his actions declared that:

TFC > Canada national team, therefore
TFC >> All-star team.

I'll be hugely disappointed if he does choose the all-star team. Everything that he's done and said so far has seemed to indicate that he was placing TFC above everything.

yeah, from that sound bite, it sounded to me that he was wanting to play in the all star game.

I would vomit a little if he chose the All-Star game!

I would hope that DeRo will play the Puerto Rico game, as he has played in previous All-Star Games!!

Personal accolades over team champions league match?
That doesn't sound like DeRo. Particularily shocking considering he dragged the team to a win in Montreal.
Very disappointing if true.

Lets hope its not a MLS mandated thing that forces him, if healthy, to play...

And if it mandated, and he has to play in the ASG, they say that outright... End speculation and people slagging the wrong people for it...

I'm just speculating myself - I have no knowleged if the MLS mandates their players to participate (like the NHL does - unless hurt)...

"Toronto FC announced Monday that midfielder Dwayne De Rosario has been selected to this year's MLS All-Star First XI. Due to the fact Toronto FC will be playing the Puerto Rico Islanders in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Qualification, De Rosario will not be available to participate in this year's festivities. In his place the league has announced that Chicago Fire midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco will take his place as the next highest vote getter."



that's certainly the message we all got... not sure why the lines are getting blurred all of a sudden.

I'll be hugely dissappointed if he were to choose the MLS All-Star game over a cup game! But seriously....an All-Star game? Come on...

Well I will be disappointed if he plays in the All Star game.....but the team and his decision.

Obviously losing his talent for that match will be hard, but with Ibby, White, Vitti, Danny..I think the hole can be filled. Don't forget as well that Gerba will be back from the Gold Cup as even if Canada make the final it is on the 26th. As well Cronin will be back. Not the end of the world, but I hope he plays....

yeah, there's pretty much no chance he'd play in the all star game, prob just trying to be diplomatic on the radio...

For him, it's an opportunity to play against Everton instead of the Islanders.

Also, when was the sound bite recorded? Hopefully before that news was released, not after.

ESPN will be in town to broadcast the game across the U.S. while CBC will handle the Canadian broadcast. CBC will be showing the game in HD - this will be the first time a Toronto FC game will be shown in high definition.

Love the fact that this weeks game will be in HD on CBC!

It has actually been done before:

First Becks game, Second Becks game, and pretty sure the KC game earlier this year or the FC Dallas game was as well.


ALSO
just noticed on the TFC website that the two PRI games will be on GOL Canada

^ HD TFC? Nice!

It would be nice if one of these days I could watch a road game in HD...
HD is great... but I never get to check it out because I have a better vantage point from inside BMO.

EPIC FAIL whoever released that article...

The Score picked up an ESPN HD broadcast of the TFC vs NYRB "fog" game... It was on a Thursday night...

Beautiful HD broadcast, available coast-to-coast in Canada...

I think there were a few TFC games on HDNet when they had MLS rights.

I guess this is the first TFC game in HD produced by the TFC broadcaster.

I listened to this...
I didn't care for it much because it gave the impression that playing in the All-Star game is the most likely choice.

errrrrrr.....
