TFC loses nine players to international duty, but MLS won’t postpone game.

“I’ve had some challenges in my life,” Carver said. “But never have I faced a situation like I’m facing this week.”

The situation Carver speaks of is that he has lost nine players to international duty as qualifying starts this week for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa leaving him with only one starting defender — Marco Velez — on his roster.

And TFC’s pleas to Major League Soccer that the Saturday game be postponed have fallen on deaf ears.

    Gobsmacked… “I was gobsmacked by the resemblance of the Chivas USA v Tauro referee last night to one of the Wonka workers.”

    for the life of me I cannot understand why MLS plays on FIFA dates.
