While we are no big fan of the playoff structure in MLS, it seems to be a necessary evil in a North
American league for now. The 2009 MLS Playoffs have actually been quite good though with 3 out of
the 4 teams who remain being deserving. Sometimes however, there are off the field occurrences
which can be just as interesting.

One of the more quiet acquisitions that MLSE made this summer was a controlling stake in the
football specialty channel GolTV. The purchase may be the first step towards making a TFC TV
channel but of course that means MLSE will need to create a full line-up of programming. As with
any network, not all of the shows can be big hits - such as.

Any MLS supporter who still has a club in the race for the final playoff spots knows by now how
completely wacky the tie-breaker system is in the event of two or more clubs ending up even. MLS

possibilities for this weekend.

If everything goes as expected in the next two weeks, Toronto FC players will be packing their bags
and heading home for 2009 while many of their rivals prepare for the playoffs. What happened this
season? There was such promise back in spring but it quickly slid into mediocrity - all that was

Even though TFC will likely get about 95% season ticket renewals this year, not every Reds'
supporter will be returning to BMO in 2010. Maybe the 15% increase is too steep or maybe the
lacklustre season made you say "enough is enough". Not to fear though, you can still enjoy that BMO
South End Experience from the comfort of your living room.

First came Toronto FC, then Vancouver Whitecaps got an expansion team and now Montreal L' Beckhams
are trying to join MLS. Throw in further interest from Ottawa and Major League Soccer has a sudden

clubs are lining up as we speak.

TFC travel to LA this weekend to take on Galaxy and their hairstyle enthusiast / Milanese loan
arranger David Beckham. However, over the past week Goldenballs has been rumoured with another

group avec le Joey Saputo but before that happens, he has a few demands.

Swine Flu. West Nile Virus. Monkey Pox. Athletes' Foot. As we have seen this summer by the
quarantining of Galaxy star Landon Donovan, even elite footballers aren't immune to the new world
of pandemics. However, few people realize that Major League Soccer has it's own specific list of
horrifying viruses, diseases and ailments.
