I wonder if Lesly Fellinga is on the test?
It's back-to-school time again! For many of Toronto FC's youthful supporters that means heading
back to campus where Kraft Dinner and Pabst Blue Ribbon become major food groups, pyjamas are
acceptable outerwear and regular bathing becomes a memory as distant as the summer breeze.
This includes matches versus CHI/MIA in 1998, CHV/RSL in 2005, TOR in 2007, SJ in 2008, SEA in
2009, and PHI this season (2010).
Note that SJ, while a returning franchise, was still considered an expansion team in 2008 whereas
Houston in 2006 was not.
Eight teams still have to play another match vs Philadelphia this season.

Probably the biggest news of the day from a non-soccer standpoint is that David Beckham is
likely to dress tonight.

First of all my apologies to our readers who are still waking up from
the migraine caused by one of Toronto FC's all-time gutless performances, losing 1-0 at home to DC
United yesterday. I'd love to tell you there's a silver lining - but this is TFC we're talking
about.
Toronto's BMO Field; a stunning view.
I was told going into the Toronto match that the entire experience would be my cup of tea. A
vibrant cosmopolitan city, a wonderful stadium with a stunning backdrop, and the chance to silence
a hostile crowd. The trip delivered on all three counts, with D.
"Oh God this is horrific. Hey! Let's name a football team after it!"

There's a lot of mixed emotions surrounding Toronto FC as they host San Jose in a match with
apparent "playoff implications".
So I think there's a game tonight, or something. I dunno'. Someone might have mentioned it
earlier.
