“…I’m Absolutely Gobsmacked”

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.

Toronto FC is preparing for life without Maurice Edu, but losing him may help the club install real grass at BMO Field.

Seriously, this is such a no-brainer….

TFC Supporters Have Their Say About Their Stadium

Filed under: Stadiums, Supporters, Toronto FC, Videos

The Red Patch Boys have got this right, bottom line. If there was ever a group that has consistently shown up, represented and earned the respect of every fan in this league, it’s Toronto FC supporters.

I’m a big fan of what you guys are doing and I truly hope that BMO Field stays soccer specific.

Road Trip Toronto

Filed under: Culture, FC Uptown, FCD, Friends, Toronto FC

Over the weekend I took a trip north of the border to visit Toronto and meet a couple friends and go to the FC Dallas-Toronto FC game.

After driving about 6 hours (I live in OH these days) I got to Toronto and checked into the Canadiana Hostel and met the crew. Staying at a hostel was a pretty random idea, but the location was great, there were a ton of Euro backbackers looking to grab a brew at one of the hundreds of local pubs, and of course it was dirt cheap. Hey, who needs air conditioning?

The Texas invasion force does not seem to scare the locals…

We walked over to pre-game a bit with the Red Patch Boys. Meeting the Red Patch Boys was very cool - let’s be honest, it can be strange to meet a bunch of Texans rolling up - but the guys could not have been nicer and we had some good laughs here. Notice the boots with shorts look, Yikes!

A Lot More Pics After The Jump…

Toronto FC @ Real Salt Lake Highlights

Filed under: Highlights, MLS, Real Salt Lake, Toronto FC

Last night I headed out to the game with Garrett, Ben and Tonus to check out Monday Night Football at Rice Eccles Stadium.

Rice Eccles Stadium

An absolute bust by Guevara and great finish by Findley for the game winner.

Hate to say it, but there’s a few on TFC that seem to be mailing it in.

World Supporters Cup In Toronto FC

Filed under: All-Star Game, Dante Washington, Toronto FC

World Supporters Cup

World Supporter’s Cup is an event we do in the Fan Development department. It’s the 2nd year that it has been done, starting last year.

We’ve got 8 clubs represented and this is West Ham vs Real Madrid. The idea is to bring fans of international teams together with MLS team fans at the All-star game and TFC is the MLS club represented obviously.

This is just one thing that is a part of the All-Star Soccer Jam. As you can see from the pic, BMO Field is in the background. Celebrity soccer-tennis was cancelled earlier due to rain. I was planning on taking the title with Alejandro Moreno as my teammate.

Lima Added And Starting Against TFC

Filed under: Francisco Lima, San Jose, Toronto FC, Transfer News

Francisco Lima

I’ve always subscribed to the theory that if you’re going to make additions to your team, start them right away and that’s exactly what Frank Yallop and John Doyle are doing today against Toronto FC at BMO Field.

Along with sending allocation money to both Kansas City for Scott Sealy and Toronto FC for the rights to Darren Huckerby, the Earthquakes signed 37 year old Brazilian defensive midfielder Francisco Lima.

Lima’s resume is long and impressive as his stops include Sao Paulo, Lokomotiv Moscow, Bologna FC,  Roma and Brescia.
