Hahahaha. It sucks to watch a match in a foreign language, but since I speak spanish it doesnt bother me watching the game with Mexican commentators. Sometimes they have some of the best one liners, like after the goal by Casey last night they said that TFC was hurling the ball forward like "HOT POTATOES" ("PAPAS CALIENTES" in spanish).

A couple of points I would like to make about last night's game:
* The Mexican commentators were right on the ball when they said that TFC was a good team with good talent moving the ball forward into the final stretch of the opponents end of the field but they lacked the finishing to score goals. "What good is it to reach the final quarter of the field and come up with nothing, no results?"
* Marvell Wynne, they also said the same about Marvell Wynne, who has tremendous speed and can't do anything in the final stretch. He doesnt have the ability to finish.
* The Mexicans said nice things about DeRosario and Vitti:).
* On the spot kicks spoiled by whoever was taking them, "Toronto F-C, is missing their main set piece taker in Guevara. Without him they are wasting chances."
*"Toronto F-C, is hurling the ball like hot potatoes after the goal by Casey, but they're lacking a forward centre capable of heading the ball into the net". Before Danny Dichio was subbed in, which was the worse substitution in my opinion.
* I dont think the substitutions made were of much benefit to the team when Vitti was taken off for Ali Gerba or Dichio in for Gomez.
* Team Ratings:
Frei-6, Wynne- 6, Attakora- 6, Gomez -6, Garcia- 6, Brennan- 5, Cronin- 5, Sanyang- 6, Vitti- 6, De Rosario- 6, Barrett- 5
Subs: Dichio- 5, Gerba- 5

Quick Observation:
Final Standings Per Season
2007- 13 of 13
2008- 12 of 14
2009- 11 of 15 (so far)
So there has been some improvement over the years, but that has something to do with the expansion of the league in my opinion.
Sorry guys and gals, there will be no playoffs this year.:picard:
