Are you rested yet, TFC?
Toronto FC returns to BMO Field Saturday after pulling off the Herculean task of securing a result in Honduras on Tuesday, allowing the team to move on in the CONCACAF Champions League. Nearly as impressive was the fact that the Reds scored a whopping two goals in less than 45 minutes.
Toronto hadn’t scored more than a single goal in a match since the May 29 road win over San Jose. In the two months between, TFC played nine games, scoring a total of five goals in the process. The wells had dried up as summer hit, making the two-goal second half that the Reds put together in Tegucigalpa a rare treat.

What a difference a month makes.
Before May, many TFC fans needed to be talked off the ledge, as the Reds struggled out of the gate under the new Preki regime. As the month comes to a close, some are now preparing the parade route.
Of course, the reality is that while Toronto is a good, hardworking club that has found its stride over the past four weeks, it’s still far too early to know which version of the team is the real one. That said, it’s hard not to be optimistic.
