Just days after talks with us had broken down, defender Chris Pozniak signed with cross-country rivals Vancouver Whitecaps.

In what I hope will become a regular occurrence for us, Ali Gerba scored a wonderful half-volley last night to give us Canucks a 1-0 win over the Reggae Boys of Jamaica. Former Toronto goalkeeper Greg Sutton played well in goal for Canada, making several key saves to keep us in it. To be fair to Jamaica, they deserved something from the match.

Toronto FC's first ever goalkeeper and the main keeper for their first two seasons. Greg Sutton was released today. I will save the analysis for another post. I just wanted to wish Sutton well.

I believe I have come up with the perfect headline to match the picture at the top of this blog (which I stole from Krazy Kanadian over at torfc.com). 10 points to me. In case you don't recognize the three players, they are TFC's Marco Velez, along with FC Dallas' Jeff Cunningham (unfortunately he used to play for TFC), and Adrian Serioux, who in this picture did not know that he would be anchoring Toronto's defense in the teams' next meeting.
