Is the misery over, yet?
TFC dropped yet another home game on the weekend, this time to a San Jose Earthquakes squad which was — just a couple of months ago — well behind Toronto in the standings.
Now The Reds are looking up at the ‘Quakes, with the California side sitting rather comfortably in 7th place (and a full eight points ahead of Toronto).
This is all getting a little too familiar, isn’t it?

Just when you were ready to mourn Toronto FC’s 2010 MLS season, they give you a reason to keep believing.
Following as lackluster an opening half ever displayed by the boys in red, TFC pulled a proverbial rabbit out of the hat just when it seemed like all the magic had disappeared. The head magician was once again Dwayne De Rosario, arguably the most clutch performer in league history, with his faithful assistant Stefan Frei reminding the audience that DeRo isn’t the only one with a few tricks up his sleeve.

Sometimes things just don’t go your way.
Toronto FC found that out the hard way Saturday afternoon, when the visiting Red Bulls of New York ended the Reds’ seemingly infallible home unbeaten streak with an emphatic 4-1 result.
It was not for a lack of trying on TFC’s part, though.

There are wins, there are resounding wins, and then there are wins that should be resounding but aren’t. TFC’s 1-0 victory over Club Deportivo Motagua of Honduras falls squarely in the latter category.
The Reds were all over their opponents in yesterday’s preliminary round CONCACAF Champions League match, a stark contrast to the lackluster play that has plagued the team of late. Yet even though they were decidedly more inspired than in other recent games, Toronto once again lacked in the goal-scoring department, a lone Chad Barrett marker early in the match being the difference between the two teams.

Dwayne De Rosario was named today to the MLS All-Star Team’s First XI.
The All-Stars will take on Manchester United at Houston’s Reliant Stadium on July 28th. Toronto FC has a home CONCACAF Champions League qualifying match versus Honduran side Motagua July 27th. De Rosario will be playing in both. Does anyone not see anything wrong with this scenario?

The zombies are coming!
Actually no, that’s just Toronto FC and the New England Revolution.
The two sides meet up tomorrow at BMO Field, both sporting numerous injuries and absences more befitting of an ER than a soccer match.

Now that’s more like it.
Terrible conditions, a listless opponent, and Chad Barrett’s awakening combined to give Toronto FC its biggest victory since the historic “Miracle in Montreal” back in June, 2009.
And while Saturday’s victory over the visiting Chicago Fire wasn’t nearly as monumental as last year’s Voyageurs Cup finale, it certainly was just as satisfying.
Make no mistake, TFC dismantled the Fire. That the conditions surrounding the game were a convergence of factors that will likely never coincide again just added to the fun.

After a well deserved week off, Toronto FC hosts Eastern Conference foe Chicago Fire today in the first of a gruelling stretch that will play a large part in determining whether 2010 is a success or failure.
Between now and the MLS-mandated World Cup break (which starts following the June 5 match vs. Colorado), TFC will play eight matches. The Reds will see MLS action five times in that span, as well as three more matches in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship.
By the time this stretch of games is over, the NCC champion will have been crowned, and TFC will have completed more than one-third of it’s league campaign. To say that the picture of TFC’s season will be much clearer by then is an understatement.

You simply cannot sit your two best players and expect a result.
Preki did just that, of course, when he kept Dwayne De Rosario and Julian de Guzman on the bench to start Saturday’s road loss at Salt Lake.
That Real Salt Lake jumped out to a 2-0 first half lead came as a surprise to no one.

Well that was fun, wasn’t it?
If there is such a thing as a temporary cure for any ill that TFC (both club and supporters) is feeling, a match versus the Montreal Impact is certainly it.
The rivalry between fans is hot, the games are chippy, and TFC is undefeated against the Impact. Wednesday’s game followed suit, with a dogfight of a match that resulted in numerous cards, a lot of bad blood, and two goals for the good guys.
