Unfortunately TFC lose 4-2 to the Crew in reserve league game:

Great to see some TFC academy players in the game including two U17 players (GK Chad Bush and LB Deon Rose. Too bad Stefan Vuckovic did not play. He has 14 goals in the CSL. Hopefully he will be with the first team next season.

Does anyone know if Vuckovic is Canadian. Have not seen him in the Canadian youth squad.

My $0.02 from last night:

1) Is JDG doing a reverse Samson? He cuts his hair, shaves his beard, and he dominates.

2) What's the over/under on "Extra from 'Planet of the Apes'" jokes made by TFC fans last night about Heineman from Columbus? 525.5 sound about right? Done and done!

3) I loved the bemused looks on the faces of the new players like Frings and Koevermans-and Winter for that matter- when someone handed them the Trillium Cup after the match last night. Sort of a "We get a trophy for this?" face.

Can't wait to make the drive from the B-Lo next week-with a stop at Club Italia in Niagara Falls for a tournament.

ok, alright, yes, very nice, all good ... my only regret is not making the trip to columbus yesterday, but those who did made us proud

TFC Win The Trillium Cup

http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/20...-trillium-cup/

In this post game video blog after Toronto FC's somewhat historic win away in Columbus to notch their first road win of the season in MLS I finally get a chance to bring out a prop I have been wanting to display now in this space for a long long time.

I also take a brief look back at the game, I discuss what might be the best stretch of games we have yet to see from Julian de Guzman and what might be behind this renaissance. I also take a look at the goal de Guzman scored and try and explain how the goal itself was a true microcosm of the game. And I take a look ahead to the Champions League return on Tuesday in Mexico City.

If Stefan Vuckovic was born in Hamilton, then why hasn't Canada called him for their U-20 team. He should be picked up. I'm sure he will be with the senior team next year.

As if that would be an indication on how good the kid is.

Personally, I don't think it's a case of being "just one game".
This team is getting better... though some pieces still need to be adjusted in the defense.

I wish the second hand market for tickets showed some evidence of this view - it's as weak as ever....

Awesome trip, awesome results. That was a great game to watch (for the most part, most of 2nd half was relatively uneventful for us).

Unfortunately we couldn't get the boys to come celebrate with us post game, would have made that trip perfect .

Any word on severity of Freis injury?

[AL-MO]

Awesome road trip. Glad we got the Columbus monkey off of our backs.

Yes he is,born in Hamilton.

But he'll probably play for Serbia, or Japan, or Ghana.

Sums things up sadly. Coaches tend to push their own players or those that are recommended to them in an old boys network sort of way through the provincial and national team systems so talented players can sometimes fall between the cracks of the CSA's national program. Having three pro teams doing most of the elite player development should eventually improve things.

Awesome trip!

[koryo]

Yes!!! still up... over under on how long before someone notices it and changes it back??

It's been edited.

Apparently they can read after all...

[VoxPopuliCosmicum]

can someone explain to me how the addition of Frings reminded JDG that he should not loft it into Row 32 with every shot? there's a train of thought here that i'm just unable to follow.

If you'd been watching, you would know perfectly well that Frings has taken over the duties of launching every shot into Row 32 (not that I'm unhappy with Frings' play, just sayin'...)

His non-field goal into a crowd in front did lead to our first goal.

[DoubleUp]

odd game, glad we came out on top also glad "The koevs" is back and has dropped some weight(did you see him jump the adverts). I think Fringes needs to do the same,just because he's Torsten Fringes doesnt mean we should let him play with a gut.

Overall the team is playing some really good football.......Keep it up boys.

I knew someone would mention that.
