TFC sets 'high standard' in season-opening win
'The guys didn't get their heads down for a minute,' De Rosario says
Daniel Girard

KANSAS CITY – It's one win, coming in the early spring of a season that lasts until fall.
But Toronto FC's 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night offered some positive signs as the team embarks on its third Major League Soccer season.

Just don't go planning that TFC parade, yet
By GARETH WHEELER

Like a flashback from a good old Seinfeld episode, "Nobody beats me, because I'm the Wiz".
That line, once delivered with such hilarity, made me laugh at its preposterousness once again Saturday.
Amado Guevara, Dwayne De Rosario and company shredded through the Kansas City Wizards with an efficient brand of attacking soccer, winning their season opener, 3-2.
Nevermind the Wizards uninspiring performance, TFC was thorough, and more often than not, in control in a statement win on the road, something previously missing from their repertoire.

Opening win a fresh start for Toronto FC
Beats Kansas City; Guevara scores twice as TFC starts with win for first time
Sean Fitz-Gerald, NP

Only one team has missed the playoffs in each of its first three seasons of competition in Major League Soccer, and a few days before he opened his third campaign with Toronto FC, captain Jim Brennan held firm to the belief his hometown team would not become the second entry on that list.
He believed in his teammates, and in the law of averages.
"It's inevitable," he said last week. "I mean, you're not going to have another 20 years of not making the playoffs. Of course you'll make the playoffs."

Opening win a breakthrough for TFC
Road victory represents first-ever season-opening win for third-year club

By Bob Rusert / MLSnet.com Staff
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- A new day for Toronto FC has been signaled. Saturday's 3-2 win at Kansas City was the third-year club's first win in a season opener and one of only five away wins in its brief history. "You can tell by the smile on my face I'm absolutely delighted," said TFC head coach John Carver. "Our away record last season wasn't great, and it was important we came into the first game of the season and got something from it. I'm delighted with the three points, delighted with the performance."
The Reds displayed a complete side -- a potent and opportune attack and a stingy defense, despite two spectacular strikes from Wizards midfielder Davy Arnaud.

TFC opens season on winning note - and on the road
PAUL ATTFIELD

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Or so it seems for Toronto FC. With the new additions dominating the headlines in the buildup to Saturday's kickoff, it was the team's first signing, Jim Brennan, and 2008 holdover Amado Guevara who accounted for the scoring during a 3-2 win in Kansas City against the Wizards.
The result was an important franchise first: victory in a season-opener. The fact it came on the road - Toronto had just four road wins through its first two seasons - and the team successfully defended a one-goal lead for the last quarter of an hour, pleased head coach John Carver almost as much as the three points.

[Stouffville_RPB]

If not for 2 great strikes from KC TFC comes away with a decisive 3-0 win Saturday. Great game. With all our signings who thought Jimmy was going to score the first goal of the season?

Side note: Guevara should be our pk taker.

[Workie]

Ah the start of the season the Articles still have that new season smell.

fuck off vancouver. if it wasn't for TFC and seattle being in the league
you wouldn't be scooping up those deposits so quickly...

p.s. the sunshine girl has a nice MILFy quality to her.

Monday's Incredibly Laughable Female?
bout the only MILF quality I see there hah.

[C.Ronaldo]

how can you compare a $50 deposit to paying full season ticket prices?

Thats ridiculous

[Damien]

Ban him, he's leaking info!

[Pachuco]

They aren't. They are supposively comparing them to the deposits. Did we really only sell 3000 deposits initially though? I thought it was alot more then that.

[Luanda]

BTW, for all of those who were denegrating the value of the draft and complaining about those drafted, the fact that Cronin and Frei did start and performed well should get them to reconsider, if not eat their words.

MorninG D!

I believe the person who wrote "the article" was Joe O'Connor, but Sean Fitzgerald was just as guilty in the TFC bashing last season.

Oh well, the National Post has had a couple of decent articles re: TFC lately, I'm willing to give them another chance. I mean, if we're going to ban all NP articles, why not the Sun (Douchebag Simmons) or the Star (Catheter Kelly)?

[denime]

And they call it TFC, not FC like CUNThal Kelly

[Carter]

Mornin Guys,

The storm has now shifted from KC, and it looks like its heading towards Columbus next.

[Technorgasm]

Is it me, or has Beretta like. . Beef'd up?

He looks fuckin MEAN out there!!

MOTM: GUEVARA, could have had three.

TFC = THE REAL DEAL!

next vicitim: COLUMBUS!

[Technorgasm]

ps. SSG = Mitsou double. . "Bye bye. . mon cowboy"

[nobodybeatsthewiz]

Ban him, he's leaking info!

pipe down, bolton!

[Strikers]

Side note: Guevara should be our pk taker.

I'm guessing Guevara & DeRo made a deal, Guevara took all the free kicks and I'm guessing DeRo will take all the PKs for us.

[Nuvinho]

JC said that DeRo is their designated Penalty kick taker.

However, on Saturday, I saw DeRo and Guevara talking after the ref gave the PK call. I was expecting DeRo to let Guevara take it, so he'd get his hat trick.

[mlsintoronto]

who peed in Wheeler's frosted luck charms? save something for the article after a loss...why do Toronto press kill its teams' spirit? There's validity to his points, but he states we won, and proceeds to dismangle the game. where's the balance?


(yes - i typed "dismangle". It was a typo but i like it so I kept it in.)

[Fort York Redcoat]

And they call it TFC, not FC like CUNThal Kelly

It's "the FC", please.

Great start but Columbus will be a bigger challenge. Luckily we'll also have bigger away support to compensate.

[keem-o-sabi]

today's miss co-ed is hot great weekend (Pool and TFC) and a hot co-ed girl nice day

http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/local...47976-sun.html

just a wee point of clarification...we sold memberships for $50...just over 3,000 that turned into 10,000 season tickets when we started selling. but...who cares. I'm ecstatic that Vancouver is going to do well.

But... I already claimed my spot on the route!

4.500 deposits for a team that won't start in two years. Looks good on 'em. Vancouver has been a well established soccer market for years. MLS made a wise choice.

And, at 29 years old, today's SSG is the world's youngest MILF. Perhaps we should call her the Sunshine Woman?

[flatpicker]

^ If not for the terrible clothes, bad makeup and bad photography, I think the SSG is kinda nice looking...

[NF-FC]

This isn't to knock the play of Carl Robinson. The Welshman had a day in the middle, but his strength is in distribution and heady decision-making, rather than a ball-winner.

Seriously? Last time I checked Robbo was one of the top ball winners in the league
