Late Houston goal a bitter pill for Toronto FC
'When I'm playing at home, I'm playing to win,' says De Rosario
Daniel Girard
It was billed as a clash of conference leaders.
It was anything but.
Toronto FC and the Houston Dynamo played to a 1-1 draw before a sellout crowd of 20,172 at BMO Field yesterday in a scrappy game which felt like a loss to the home side.
"It was two average teams on the day," TFC coach Chris Cummins said in summary.

Houston ties TFC with 2nd-half goal
CBC.ca
t's a measure of how much Toronto FC's confidence has grown lately in the MLS that they were a little disappointed with how Saturday's match turned out. Up against league-leading Houston Dynamo — a team that humiliated the Reds 3-0 on May 30 — TFC came up with a solid effort this time for a 1-1 draw.
They had hoped for more.

The point is: Dynamo draw not enough for DeRo
By FRANK ZICARELLI (frank.zicarelli@sunmedia.ca)
Dwayne De Rosario had some pointed words on a day when all Toronto FC could muster was a point.
The point De Rosario was stressing involved the need to capitalize on an opportunity by taking advantage of a visiting opponent that was playing short-handed.
Despite scoring TFC's lone goal against his former Houston Dynamo side in yesterday's 1-1 draw, the man known as DeRo was as disappointed as many of the 20,172 fans who couldn't buy a beer at BMO Field, the price of having one's privileges revoked in the wake of a past liquor infraction.

Toronto FC far from satisfied with draw
By Mark Polishuk
TORONTO -- On paper, a draw against the league's top side is a good result. On the BMO Field pitch, however, Toronto FC were far from satisfied from their 1-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo on Saturday afternoon. "It was very frustrating," said midfielder Dwayne De Rosario. "There were some parts in the game when it seemed like we were just sitting back, waiting to get scored on. Is a tie a good result? Maybe given how we played, but it's not good enough."

'Phantom call' finishes Canada off
Controversial penalty gives Hondurans a trip to Chicago to face U.S. in semifinal action
Douglas B. McIntyre
PHILADELPHIA – Canada's impressive Gold Cup run came to an abrupt end with a 1-0 loss to Honduras in the quarter-finals last night. And as was the case in the Canadians' semifinal ouster against the United States in 2007, much of the talk afterward centred on a controversial officiating decision.

Another controversial officiating decision turns into another disappointing loss for Canada.
It's becoming a refrain — one Canada's players are tired of hearing.
A penalty call by Salvadoran referee Joel Aguilar in the first half of the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal on a phantom interference in the penalty area gift-wrapped an early advantage for the Hondurans.
