Is it just me or has The Score become the biggest instigator in Canada since Ty Domy? Hot on the
heels of their 17 minutes in Ali Gerba-heaven video they've got a half-hour of former Toronto coach
Chris Cummins just going off on the phone on MoJo and TFC. If you don't have a spare 30 minutes to
watch the whole shebangabang, here's the highlights.
Damn Canada, I think your boy Nash has gone native. I feel for you but I have to say the badge and
number 10 shirt look good on him. And hey, you still have Martin right?
So what do y'all think of Vancouver's new MLS kits? Personally I'm feeling that all white one with
the thin hoops. As for the shiny background of the blue one...I'm not too sure about that. It seems
like it would look really dated really quickly. It also looks hella tight (as in "way-too-fitted",
not as in "in looks real cool.
Oh to be a modern-day MLS expansion club. You get to build on the back of the achievements of the
teams who came before you and you get to keep your original name -no weird "Your name is
Toby"-period a la the San Jose Clash. You also get fresh-to-death temporary stadiums built for you
to tide you over until the renovations on your downtown enormodome are completed.
Nicky Firchau with the quote of the day: "He goes from team captain to assistant to the club
manager." Basically Jim Brennan is the Dwight Shrute of Major League Soccer.
Reason #171 that I can't wait until MLS Cup 2010 in Toronto: they seem to have an afterparty for
everything. National team games, All-Star games...any excuse to pop champagne and T-Dot is all over
it. Salt Lake City, it is not.
So why not throw an afterparty for the home opener?
In honor of DeRo's brace last night, here's a mixtape of his greatest hits going all the way back
to his days in the bay. With 4 MLS Cups, 2 Goals of the Year and game-winning goal in the All Star
game against Chelsea, dude has to be considered one of the most accomplished players in MLS today.
So here we have The Don talking all things Montreal expansion. He's got some interesting things to
say, some things that I haven't thought of. But maybe that's why he's commissioner and I am
just...whatever I am supposed to be.
After watching this I think the Canadian National Team may eventually be the big winner here.
Now that our Quebecois cousins in Montreal are officially part of the family, we need to start
thinking road trip. How you get there is up to you and will vary by city of origin but no matter
where you're coming from everyone needs a place to eat, drink and stay.
EAT.: Ouzeri (4690, rue Saint-Denis)
Located in the heart of Le Plateau, Ouzeri offers fantastic traditional Greek food and an
outlandish wine list.
Here's something you would NEVER have read until this year. And if I'm being honest & conservative
it may be a little too early but here it goes anyway. SLAM Sports, the Versus of Canuckistan,
imploring another MLS club to emulate the New York franchise. Somebody stop the world, it's turned
upside down and I need to get off.

So the word out of Canuckistan is that the Whitecaps are allegedly trying to woo Jay DeMerit north
of the 49th parallel. Sounds cool other than the fact that it could leave Jay sitting around
getting all doughy and sh*t until pre-season camp begins in Feb. On the surface it looks very
similar to Philly's move of bringing Danny Califf back to his home continent for their inaugural
MLS cruise.
Oh Canada I have so much love for you. My favorite city on the continent resides within your
borders (Montreal), my preferred icewine is Inniskillin and your ability to own firearms while
simultaneously suppressing the urge to shoot everybody up is beyond reproach. So I feel a little
bad for y'all for getting shafted on Teal Bunbury's international future.
Hey y'all. Sorry for the lack of posts but as I am in T.Dot on official company business I'm
spending most of my time on that other blog, the Twitters and the Book of Faces. But if you happen
to be in Canuckistan as well let's catch up tomorrow and party & bullsh*t.
BTW our DJ tomorrow will be none other than Tom Wrecks.
I'm tired. I'm dehydrated. I'm happy. I'm still in Toronto.
The Cup has come and gone but I've got one more night in the Republic of Canuckistan before
returning home. If any Canadians are reading this I appreciate your hospitality and overall
awesomeness. You love your footie, your streets are improbably clean and your street hot dogs are
the pinnacle of drunken, late-night cuisine.

So now that I've caught up on post-MLS Cup sleep and eaten my weight in stuffing & poultry I think
I'll take a moment to get out some of the leftovers from Toronto starting with some photos from
DeRo's MLS Cup afterparty at Tryst. Don't ask me why but Chad Barrett seemed to be in damn near
every pic.
Don't get me wrong, I actually like Canada and Canadians, but recently the inhabitants of
Canuckistan have been getting on my nerves.
So I lied. I actually did watch the MLS Cup from BMO Field in Toronto instead of the
Eagles-Giants game. Apparently, myself and about half a dozen other people watched the MLS
Cup.
