Toronto goes for their third consecutive Voyageurs Cup on Wednesday, having tied Vancouver 1-1 in last week’s first leg.
With the away goal advantage, TFC will look to limit the Whitecaps to yet another runners-up medal by winning the trophy on home turf for the fist time. It won’t be easy, as Toronto’s players have been played into the ground while Vancouver have had the luxury of a week off (that’s after resting several key starters in anticipation of last week’s affair).
Will they do it? Will TFC win the Cup in front of their own fans for the first time?

Toronto gets their chance to nullify the awful memories of the season opener when they travel to Vancouver to take on the Whitecaps in the first leg of the Voyageurs Cup final.
Both teams are struggling, but the loud chatter from the West Coast about how much “better” the ‘Caps are than TFC has quieted down to a whisper in recent weeks.
With a win at Empire Field on Wednesday, TFC can shut down that chatter completely.

The Chicago Fire are in town Saturday, just in time to help commemorate TFC’s first ever goal almost exactly four years ago.
The good thing is that they are also crap in the present day, meaning that Toronto have a legitimate chance to pull down a crucial three points after being robbed in the midweek at Dallas.
Will the sour taste of the north Texas loss be erased on what could be a rainy day at the Lakeshore?

A week after the debacle in Seattle, and suddenly TFC are on a two-game winning streak.
An easy 1-0 victory over FC Edmonton to cruise to the Nutrilite Canadian Championship final, and a hard-fought (but thoroughly deserved) 2-1 win over Houston in league play sees the Reds in good spirits heading into the heart of Texas against a…

For as bad as TFC looked in their 3-0 away loss at Seattle this past weekend, FC Edmonton has look far worse over the past seven days.
A 3-0 dismantling by Toronto was followed up by an even more embarrassing 5-0 loss to the Montreal Impact in league play for the Edmonton side, the two games representing FCE’s “home openers” and introduction to their fans.
As much as Edmonton should love the fact that they are able to get away from the scene of their failures over the past week, TFC has to be overjoyed to be returning home after their shameful performance on the West Coast. With a three-goal aggregate lead and an opponent that makes Toronto FC look like FC Barcelona, the Reds will be looking forward to erasing their shame by putting the boots to their hapless Albertan cousins.

Toronto FC finally made it to Seattle today, after trying to leave Edmonton on a relatively short flight yesterday afternoon.
Their flight was delayed, then cancelled, and alternative arrangements had to made. Ultimately, the Reds players flew to Vancouver, then took a three hour bus trip south to the Emerald City, arriving around 9am Pacific Time.
Travel issues aside, TFC has to be feeling good about their most result result, a 3-0 rout of upstart FC Edmonton in the Canadian Championship. Maicon and Alan Gordon both found the net for Toronto, with Joao Plata playing the role of provider in his first start for the Reds.

TFC takes their show on the road Wednesday, traveling to Alberta to face upstart FC Edmonton in the opener of the 2011 Nutrilite Canadian Championship.
Edmonton is the newest pro franchise in the country, taking part in the new NASL. When it comes to second division sides, TFC have shown that they could look ridiculously average (vs. Vancouver) or like the dominant first division side they should be (vs. Montreal).
Which Toronto FC will be on display within the vast confines of Commonwealth Stadium?

Everybody make sure you’re up to date on all your shots, as the Crew are due to make their way into town.
Columbus has played some stingy football of late, not allowing a goal against in week. We’ve all seen what TFC has done lately, which obviously means that Toronto is due to whoop some Ohio ass. Right? RIGHT??
Now would be the appropriate time for one of the Reds to take a hold of the match and put the boots to the yellow-clad dolts.
It’s our turn.

Get your raincoats and ponchos, Saturday nights game vs. DC United could be a wet one.
Both the Reds and DC United are coming off home draws against the LA Galaxy, with DC having the advantage of a week’s rest, while TFC has the home crowd to play off of.
Toronto carries a record of 1-1-3, firing off three straight draws after losing and winning in the first two matches of the season. TFC will be hoping to gain the full points from the first Eastern Conference opponent they will face in 2011.
Prior to the match, Toronto’s three main supporters groups — U-Sector, Red Patch Boys, and North End Elite — will be marching en masse to the stadium. We’ll need as many bodies and voices as possible, so join us in the Lamport Stadium parking lot at 6:20pm.
