Mexico's Pachuca wins on penalties
Daniel Dale
Staff Reporter

In the first half, the game seemed, for the most part, like the inconvenient mid-season friendly it was. Toronto FC's starters played, for the most part, like the little-used reserves they usually are.
And then, in the second half, they woke up and, although they lost on penalty kicks, put rare post-defeat smiles on their coaches' faces.

Pachuca edges TFC in penalties

Toronto FC used Saturday night's friendly against Pachuca of Mexico as a test for some of the players, mostly young, who don't get much chance to show what they can do against top competition.
And they put on a good show as the teams finished regulation time 1-1 with Pachuca winning on penalty kicks 4-3 before an announced attendance of 18,079 at BMO Field.

TFC wasted in penalty kicks
By STEVEN SANDOR, SUN MEDIA


Jeff Cunningham won't be able to sleep for a couple of nights.
The Toronto FC striker couldn't hit the target when it mattered most last night in an exhibition loss to the best team on the continent -- Pachuca of Mexico. With the score tied 1-1 after 90 minutes, Pachuca won 4-3 on penalty kicks before 18,079 fans at BMO Field. The kicks were even at 3-3 when Cunningham had his effort saved by Pachuca keeper Miguel Calero. Cunningham also missed a wide-open chance in front of the goal with eight minutes to go.

While that may be true, it's not exactly iron-clad. It's MLSrumors not MLSfacts.

On another note smacking of irony, MLSrumors also reports that the league is pondering a move to single-table standings. Good stuff if true (I already exclusively use the wikipedia table for MLS anyway).

"Her most memorable meeting was with Chris Benoit after a WWE show."

Surprised to see someone mention meeting Benoit as something memorable. He went on to murder his wife and kid before killing himself. I'm trying to forget the fact that I met him in 2004.
