EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.–Last night was supposed to be the funeral for Toronto FC's season.
Wallowing in last place in Major League Soccer, Toronto essentially was a loss away from seeing its faint playoff hopes dashed.
But that was before Marvell Wynne's speed and Chad Barrett's timely finishing gave Toronto its first win in seven matches and breathed some life into the club's slim playoff chances.

Toronto grabs Bulls by the horns
LARRY MILLSON

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — There is still hope for Toronto FC. A 3-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls Saturday night kept the Reds' faint Major League Soccer playoff hopes flickering for at least another week.

if we win at dallas, BMO will be crazy for the last game

[Nuvinho]

If we win at Dallas, Chicago may not field its best XI at BMO since they will be in the playoffs already. Then it could come down to the final game at San Jose.

[TFCREDNWHITE]

Jesus fucking Christ BMO will erupt!!! i can't wait!!

Jesus fucking Christ BMO will erupt!!! i can't wait!!

I really don't want to start thinking like that yet.
I'm trying to keep my mind in the present... but it is difficult to avoid dreaming about what could be.
But there are two crucial road games to get through first (and we will be missing are key lineup for international duty)

If we did end up having a playoff chance in the last game... oh my... it will be one hell of a good atmosphere!

[Roogsy]

I dunno if this has been posted before, but looks like York got penalized for letting Lombardo play, as he is ineligible for some time.

I feel sorry for the kid.

[J .]

the kid should have never cut his hair....

Keep the faith lads, a win at Dallas and BMO will be insane.

Even if the results go our way again we might need only a point but 3 in dallas would be heaven!!
