Toronto must go through Dynamo
Reds need win as defending champs invade BMO Field
TORONTO FC vs. HOUSTON DYNAMO
BMO FIELD, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Sept. 25, 2008 | 3:45 p.m. ET (CBC; Ch. 55/43)
Toronto FC return home for their penultimate game at BMO Field for the season, knowing they must take maximum points to keep their playoff hopes alive. But the task facing them will not be easy: Western Conference leaders Houston Dynamo, the two-time defending MLS champions. TFC has a six-game winless streak and has won just once since June 14. The Dynamo will be playing the second game in a four-country tour over two weeks; they've lost just once in their last 11 league contests.

Knee woes continue to follow TFC's Ruiz
Veteran striker forced to sit out tomorrow's game against Houston
Eight days after having the fluid drained from his chronically sore right knee, Toronto FC striker Carlos Ruiz spent another practice on the sidelines yesterday.
Ruiz, acquired late in August to bolster TFC's offence, has had knee operations in each of the past two seasons. And an MRI on Tuesday also revealed a misaligned kneecap, a relatively minor issue.
TFC head coach John Carver, suspended from tomorrow's home game against Houston (3:30 p.m., CBC) as the result of his ejection last Saturday, says Ruiz can correct the problem quickly with proper rehab. However, the 28-year-old striker will still miss the game against the Dynamo.
