“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Is it Saturday yet??? I have never been more excited for a TFC game.
Game guide is up.

"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
It's become a bit of on an ongoing joke really. The Probable Lineups appear to be proposed by the teams themselves and are never a reflection of what the teams actually lineup. As Carver implied at the begining of the season - the less accurate information you give to your opponent the less time they have to prepare and adjust when they announce the starting real 11 just before the game.
Of course, now that I have written this - this will be the one time that the lineups reflect the truth

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I wish the other games were on first so that I can immediately celebrate after we beat the red bulls.
We break down what Toronto needs to do to win versus the Red Bulls Saturday, discuss the latest TFC controversy with Robbo and Cummins and state why Brian Edwards deserves to start all through the playoffs.
We also get into the Chicago Fire v Chivas game from last night and what it means for the MLS playoff implications.

It's Caled Football will be doing a live post-game following al the out of town scores as they come in. We'll post the details tomorrow.
Yes, there will be Journey
Why do I think it will be Cunny that will stick the dagger into TFC's (and mine) heart?
I don't trust the bastard as far as I can throw him.
Even if Cunny does manage it, Colorado losing also gets us in, amongst other options.
Holy smokes - they're expecting an inch and a half of rain, and thunderstorms, in NYC tonight.

If a hundred people from Toronto show up, they might outnumber the locals

Is anyone watching the match at a pub out in the west end? Like Milton Mississauga west end? I can't make it to Joe's but holy S#!& I need some atmosphere!!
well since we have won 3 of the last matches between us, i think we will win tonight
i predict 3-1 TORONTO
Damn, Tuesday- Thursday it was wonderful sunny weather everywhere in New Jersey, and got cloudy from Friday noon.
The law of Murpy working again, as usual...
Almost for sure the game will be in total shit weather. This is again bad for us, because we are technically a lot better squad that the shite bulls, and in rainy, slippery field that won't matter almost at all any more...
