It’s better if we just pretend that that game on the weekend never happened.
TFC, away to expansion Philadelphia Union in the less-than-impressive environs of Chester, Pennsylvania (although PPL Park is a true gem of a stadium), did their part in making the newbies feel as if they may actually still have a shot at success in this MLS season.
They don’t, of course, but the Reds did their best to play the part of gracious guests.

Starting Saturday in suburban Philadelphia, Toronto FC will embark on a stretch of eight games in 25 days, a brutal series of matches that could very well define their season.
Between the league, CONCACAF Champions League qualifying matches, and a seriously ill-timed friendly, TFC will test every last bit of its newly reinforced roster. And all of this during one of the hottest summers on record.
First up is a trip to expansion Philadelphia Union. A quick glance at the standings would indicate that this should be as close to a guaranteed road victory as TFC has ever come across, but of course it’s not as simple as that. The Union have been unfortunate not to have picked up more points in recent games, as their play in the past few matches has been more in line with that of a middling MLS side rather than a dreadful expansion outfit.

An ugly win is still a win.
Much like Saturday’s loss at New England, Toronto FC’s home opener against the expansion Philadelphia Union was a tale of two halves. This time around though, The Reds – like the South Stand song proclaims – did indeed come through in the end.

Well not really, but it will be Thursday, which just so happens to be the day of TFC’s fourth home opener against expansion Philadelphia Union.
BMO Field faithful will be heading to a vastly different stadium than they’ve become used to. The new $3.5 million natural grass surface is installed and cheerfully green, replacing the worn out artificial turf that was the bane o fmany a Toronto player’s existence. A new 1200- seat north stand now sits menacingly atop the old beer garden, forcing oppoing goalkeepers to take verbal abuse for the full 90 minutes.
