Suarez Soolsma in da house!Welcome to our newest regular feature "Chants on Goal" where we bring our Yorkies' flavour to TFC
terrace songs and chants. We're not trying to reinvent the BMO Field choir-wheel but giving you a
few of our ridiculous favourite "hits" for you to enjoy and, if you feel the musical urge, bring
them to your corner of the stadium.

TORONTO VS. PHILADELPHIA BMO FIELD - SATURDAY 4:30PM ETTV: SPORTSNET ONE THE KICKABOUT:Okay. Is THIS the real "new beginning"?
For the Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC, the Voyageurs Cup is there for the taking at BMO
Field Wednesday night.
The two clubs square off in the second leg of the Canadian championship final (8 p.m., Rogers
Sportsnet), with one earning domestic bragging rights and a place in this summer's CONCACAF
Champions League.
The Winter and his discontentMake no mistake, Wednesday evening's victory over
Montreal was a much needed breathe of fresh air for Toronto FC and their long-suffering supporters.
Beyond the win and progression to the Canadian Championship finals, simply being entertained and
having a bit of the old "BMO Field atmosphere" return was nice.

THE KICKABOUT:
No matter the result, this one practically writes itself.
After three consecutive years of finishing as runner-up to Toronto FC in the Canadian
championship, 2012 could finally be the Vancouver Whitecaps' year to claim the Voyageurs Cup.
Considering Toronto FC's struggles and Vancouver's rise to respectability after a trying MLS
expansion season, the Whitecaps are the favorites entering this year's Canadian championship, which
commences Wednesday night.

You are sitting at home, watching a movie and that soft talking part comes on the
television.
The male or female speaker gently whispers into your ear the dulcet tones of any inane speech,
but that soft tone and pattern gives your brain the jollies.
It seems like yesterday. Well the record does.

TORONTO VS. CHIVAS USA BMO FIELD - SATURDAY 4:30PM ETTV: GOL TV THE KICKABOUT:Outside of Rick Martel and Tito Santana's 80's wrestling tag-team "Strike Force" uniting both sets
of fans - these two teams have about as little to do with each other as any in MLS.

softer.
If Toronto FC is to figure out a remedy for their defensive problems, Wednesday night would be
an ideal time to do so.
TFC, Major League Soccer's last hope in the CONCACAF Champions League, welcomes red-hot Herculez

TORONTO VS. SAN JOSE BMO FIELD - SATURDAY 1PM ETTV: TSN THE KICKABOUT:"SIXual Healing" makes its home debut on Saturday as The Reds return to BMO Field for the first
time in 2012.
"Soolsma promised me it was 'delectable'..."One of the annual traditions for a
select few TFC supporters is the pre-season food-tasting event at BMO Field. A "lucky" few fans go
behind the scenes to try the new concessions on offer for the season, which usually include
politically correct, offensive to none, "football" food such as " Jerked Toad-in-a-hole-in-a
Belgian Waffle Pizzas".
Major League Soccer released the 2012 Reserves League Schedule today. The league is still

exhibition games if they want to.
The 2012 MLS Reserve League schedule was released today by the league. The Philadelphia Union's

"Goodbye pal... And yeah, He's cool."
PLAYERS CUT, PUNS TO GO
UNUSEDA sad day for four young men as Toronto FC made their first four cuts of pre-season today. Sadder
still is the effect it will have on blogs as some quality nicknames will forever go stale in
Toronto.
The United States will play Canada on June 3rd at Toronto's BMO Field (7pm ET - NBC Sports
Network), the US Soccer Federation announced on Thursday. The game will be part of the Canadian
Soccer Association's 100th anniversary. "First of all, we are honored to be chosen to be part of
Canada's Centenary Celebration," US National Team coach Jurgen Klinsmann said.
Right colour, wrong shirtIt's a Chile afternoon in Toronto! Great news for TFC
supporters and pun-lovers alike as The Reds officially announced the signing of Chilean
international defender Miguel Aceval today. The announcement concludes a signing-process that has
been rumoured since December but spent the last few days floating around MLS red-tape limbo.
Welcome to The Yorkies' regular off-season rumour roundup - "The Rumoumeter". Too busy to keep your
TFC ear to the ground every week? Just stop by the site and we will quickly show you what rumours
are hot - and which ones have hit the back burner. Some of the rumours have weight - others little
more than whispers; we take their temperature with.
Major League Soccer will release the full schedule tomorrow at 1:00 PM CST but a couple of
different outlets have combined to give us a picture of 10 of the 34 MLS Regular Season games. The
bulk of this information comes from the Chicago Fire front office sending out a sneak peak E-mail
this afternoon that included the 'Significant Six': six top games to amp up the excitement.
"Wow Jimmy, looks great! Now get it to Anselmi - Chop! Chop!"That's it - the
holidays are over. Take down the lights, put the tree in a chipper and tell the Mayans to bugger
off. Nothing but months of sleet, cold and snow to look forward to now... unless you're a TFC
supporter! Like a Dutch groundhog, Bob de Klerk has seen his shadow and it's under four weeks until
The Reds' return for pre-season.
"This ain't our house!"One of the worst kept cats in town is apparently out of the
bag this afternoon. No, Nick Soolsma didn't visit the Humane Society - but John Molinaro at
Sportsnet is reporting that Toronto FC will imminently announce that the Champions League
Quarterfinal against LA Galaxy will be played at SkyDome.

That's one delicious seat cushionBienvenue la "401 Derby"! With the new improved
Stade Saputo (aka L'Emporium de Fromage) under construction and the bones of the squad starting to
come together via the MLS Expansion Draft, TFC's natural rival, Montreal Impact, are inching
towards life in the big leagues.
"Drugs are out at SkyDome? BMO Field it is."
Next Tuesday, in the gleaming controversy-free halls of CONCACAF's New York headquarters, the draw
for the Champions League knockout phases will be held. Our beloved TFC will be entering this stage
for the first time and as reward will face one of two Mexican powerhouses - Santos Laguna and
Monterrey, or, star-laden MLS rival LA Galaxy.
"Let's get it on, you Reds!"
TORONTO (16TH) VS. NEW ENGLAND
(18TH) BMO FIELD - SATURDAY 12:30PM EDTTV: TSN RADIO: FAN 590 THE KICKABOUT:After Tuesday night's potentially club-changing win in Champions League, Toronto FC finds itself
basking in a rare glow as the season comes to an end.
It was another beautiful September night at BMO Field Tuesday evening. As a fan, I got much more
than I bargained for. The team showed some spine and some sparkle against a Mexican team that had
ripped them to shreds in the first half of their south of the border (x2) game in the CONCACAF
Champion's League.

That's a lot of Colo
THE BUZZ:Or rather lack thereof. On the quietest day in memory at BMO Field (tornado days notwithstanding)
there was a cautious yet apathetic vibe in the air pre-match. Would the TFC that beat Columbus
soundly one week ago show up or would it be their evil-twins who went to Mexico City?

Team Canada: So hot in the 80's!While this site is usually 93% Toronto FC related - and
7% random 80's reference related - today we put down our Reds' scarves for er... red scarves. The
Canadian Men's National Team embarks on its long, arduous and no doubt hair-pullingly frustrating
journey towards World Cup 2014 this Friday at BMO Field.
It's that wacky time of year again around BMO Field. Thousands come and go, there's screaming,
laughing and crying, all while countless clowns and freakshows entertain for peanuts. No, it's not
the MLS Transfer Window - it's the Canadian National Exhibition. Toronto's annual fair to celebrate
and showcase the best in fried dough technology, the finest in men's leather belts, Sha Na Na cover
bands and amusements "assembled" by some of North America's finest carnies.
Exhibition match
TORONTO (1st) VS. DALLAS (2nd)CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - GROUP C BMO FIELD - WEDNESDAY 8PM ETTV: GOLTV THE KICKABOUT:- Was TFC's recent upswing a carny trick or is their form closer to the performance put on in
Chicago last Sunday?
No midweek games were played in Major League Soccer last week, all eight games were played on
the weekend with an average attendance of 18,975 up from 15,937 the previous week. The average was
helped in a big way by the Seattle Sounders home game against Chivas USA which drew 36,364. The New
York Red Bulls, despite their troubles on the field had a season high 25,177 in attendance for
their game against the Chicago Fire.
Toronto's Strategy Aron Winter abandoned his Dutch roots by swapping his 4-3-3 for a 3-4-3.
The formation switch to three at the back is a welcome one, since it is such a rarity in football.
Winter must have thought that whether he played 3 or 4 at the back would result in a suspect back
line, so he may as well play to his strengths (wing play) while entertaining the BMO Field
faithful.

No road wins this season. A minus 22 goal differential. Six games lost where they gave up
three goals or more, including a 4-0 loss and a 6-2 loss. Nineteen points, the third lowest in
the league. More trades than a Wall Street stock broker. To be blunt, there has been little for
Toronto FC fans to be cheery about this season.
Including the midweek games played on July 20th Major League Soccer had an average weekly
attendance of 15,669, down from 16,865 the previous week. The Los Angeles topped the attendance
charts this week with 24,709 for their game against the Columbus Crew. Toronto FC had 21,087 for
their midweek game against FC Dallas.
