The thing is, RioTinto Stadium ain’t as intimidating as it was even a couple of months ago.

Real Salt Lake are clearly a bit lost as a team right now, and coming off a mid-week game they may be ripe for the picking. Of course, this being TFC on the road, the best we can hope for is a well-earned draw or a blowout loss.

Go Reds!

A Real shot in the dark

These guys again?

Tonight, TFC hosts Real Salt Lake for the second time in 30 days, the third match between the two clubs in that same span. Depending on how the game goes, it could be the last meaningful match at BMO Field for the remainder of 2010.

No one ever said it was going to be easy.

Toronto FC’s New Era got off to a rocky start, with the side losing 4-1 at Real Salt Lake in a match that puts serious doubt in TFC’s Champions League hopes.

The scoreline was somehow flattering to both the visitors and the hosts, as the game took on a number of vastly different forms over the 90 minutes.

New Beginnings

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.

Must Win.

It’s a phrase that gets thrown around far too often in sports, especially in today’s world of instant gratification. It’s one that I am loathe to use very often, but in the case of Saturday’s TFC match versus Real Salt Lake, I’m saying it.

It’s a must win game.

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.

A Real Toughie

After the high, there is the inevitable low.

One of the main tenets of being a Toronto FC fan is that the team will find a way to disappoint you after giving you just enough to believe that they have turned the corner.

TFC has rattled off two consecutive victories. Last Sunday they dispatched the visiting Seattle Sounders in relative style, and on Wednesday they stood toe-to-toe with the hacks from Montreal and sent their pink-clad foes back up the 401 with yet another loss at the hands of TFC.

It goes without saying, then, that TFC is due to lay an egg tonight. Right?

And Then There Were Four

The first round of the 2009 MLS Cup playoffs concluded Sunday with the LA Galaxy scraping past their cross-hallway rivals Chivas USA by the narrowest possible margin, setting the stage for next weekend’s Conference Finals.

The Galaxy won their series by a single goal, courtesy of a successful Landon Donovan penalty kick in the 73rd minute of the Galaxy home leg. The 1-0 scoreline in the second leg was a complete reversal compared to the relative goalfest (a sloppy 2-2 draw) that was the Goats’ home leg a week previous.
