So TFC v4.0 has been upgraded to TFC v4.01.
Out is Preki, who managed to wear out his welcome in Toronto in record time. Also out is Director of Soccer Mo Johnston, who, while much more personable than his coach, probably should have been gone a long time ago.
(Back) in is Nick Dasovic, the loyal assistant coach-turned-interim gaffer who seemed to be on his way out as recently as this past weekend.

Hello Arabe Unido. Thank you for consistently showing us North Americans how true football is played. Our teams foolishly do things like stay on their feet when brushed up against. Such naivete needs to be corrected, and fortunately you guys are more than willing to educate the rest of us.

Forget Real Madrid. Tomorrow night, TFC faces its biggest challenge since the team kicked its first ball in anger back in April 2007.
Mexico’s Cruz Azul storms into town for the CONCACAF Champions League, looking to continue its dominance over the region — specially MLS teams — en route to yet another CCL final.

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.

On a night when everyone in Montreal will be cheering for a team in red, that city’s newest major league club will be attempting to finally defeat a different one.
Toronto FC – who sources say will ditch the grey kits for its primary red – has never lost to the Montreal Impact. Many of us take great pleasure in reminding their fans of that fact.

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.

The 2010 Nutrilite Canadian Championship kicks off tomorrow evening at BMO Field, and the biggest question on the minds of TFC fans is, “who plays?”
No one knows the importance that Preki places on this event, and no one will until shortly before kickoff.
Toronto supporters, of course, relish this tournament. The Voyageurs Cup competition has resonated with this fan base, much more so than the average, run-of-the-mill MLS match.
Perhaps the fact that a real rivalry with Montreal (the city) existed long before either TFC or the Impact ever kicked a ball in anger helps fuel the passion, a rivalry that doesn’t really exist with opposing MLS cities. That the civic rivalry translated onto the field of play, backed by rather large fan bases that genuinely dislike one another, really comes as no surprise.

Preki’s Revolution continues as TFC prepares for its next match at New England Saturday.
With the news that captain Jim Brennan has stepped down from his playing duties to step up into the role of Assistant General Manager, only Chad Barrett, Fuad Ibrahim, Nana Attakora and Gabe Gala remain from the 2008 squad.
