    A first test against MLS opposition.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    It would be extra nice to beat Dallas. Feels like all the games from last year were eventful against them- first game for Koev and Frings, CCL and so on.

    And Brek Shea pisses me off...

    It'll be a good benchmark to prepare March 7.

    Can't wait.

    Don't really care for this one actually. I think the BK Hacken game is a good reflection of team progress. That's all I wanted to see. Now it's all about fitness.

    They play a 4-4-2 like LA and pretty similar tactically. This is actually a very good team to be playing in warm up to LA.

    As much as I'd like to be tested against Vancouver, because they haven't had a goal against them, I don't want our best line up in the finals.

    Still Dallas will be a good indicator. I'm looking forward to watching tonight.

    If TFC advances to the finals I can't imagine anything resembling a March 7th lineup for that game. Not going to be enough recovery time. For all intents and purposes I bet this will be the final tune up for our starters. It will be nice to see some positive momentum coming out of the game tonight carry over into the SkyDome.

    ^ But if it's bad tonight, we'll say "bad rehearsal means a good concert" -- Right?!

    Keeping it positive!

    Shea played in Italy last night, I doubt he will even be in Orlando.

    If they win this , we end up playing whitecraps no? Have to say I'd be pumped for that, even if it's subs vs scrubs

    Starting XI has been released.
    Frei; Eckersley, Harden, Aceval, Morgan; Dunfield, Stinson, Silva; Johnson, Koevermans, Plata ..

    I'd be surprised if this isn't what we see on March 7th.... well minus Frings instead of Dunfield or Stinson.

    I'd expect JDG in there as well.

    well dunfield actually played in that roll against Hacken, so the option is there to switch to the 3-4-3, and it's good to give Dunfield some time in that role.

    No need for doom and gloom right now.

    I think if Stinson performs, Dunfield will be on the bench the 7th.

    As much as other kids are promising so far, I don't think they can handle 45,000 spectators and facing a very good squad of galaxy without choking... still need game minutes over time to be able to step in and perform on par

    Dallas is playing their reserves. No Shea, Perez, Ferreira, Castillo in the starting 11.

    Shit!
    Substitute heavy line-up for Dallas.

    Again, today's result and evolution will not give us too many solid conclusions about the real force of TFC at the present stage.
