On the trot

Well there you have it, three wins in a row. Never mind two were at home against a team that had yet to score on the road and one against a USL-1 B team. Wins are wins and Toronto FC stays in contention for the top of the East with a convincing 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls. I will not pretend these two games against New York were beautiful football, but with help on the way in name of Ali Gerba and supposedly more to come, to be in this position is crucial for the Reds. It was, though, a beautiful night to take in a game and soak up some Canadian football.

First thing's first ... oh how I've missed wearing you. I'll never be mad at you again TFC jersey. Fits just like I remembered it two weeks ago.


Tonight I was sitting in the infamous section 105. Ooooooo the flashpoint for the BMO security crackdown. I had to be on my best behaviour or else I'd be pissing in a bottle in the 80th minute. Was that crude? Just sayin' because I wouldn't want to get chucked out on my way to the bathroom.


Whoa what is up with this?! Relax the boys wore pink for breast cancer awareness


UNLIKE THESE EURO FRUITCAKES!!!


Early on the lads weren't gunning it but this match-up of De Ro against Pacheco was in our favour all night long. De Ro was open there the entire game.


After 28 mins (or fourteen games) ... VITTI SCORES!! Nothing fancy like you'd expect from a long-haired Argentine but he's paid to score and he's finally done it!!



Looking pretty good at half time. Until we were subjected to this. These guys simply had to kick these boxes off the table. Someone in the Carlsberg marketing department is getting canned after this useless promotion that resulted in NOBODY hitting the target.


Even the punks couldn't do it! Actually I'm not sure how punk it is to dress like Avril Lavigne from the neck down plus sandals.


Second half gets rolling and right into it De Ro again with class!!! He is on fire, this was a sweet goal and perfect ball from Barrett. Hey as long as we have someone finishing, Chad can be a player here IMO.


Now up 2-0 things get chippy with Dane Richards taking out Serioux. Why is it always the little guys?? This was a good series where Nick Garcia was talking mad shit to him the whole way down the field, then (look at the pic, Brennan is PIIISSSSEDDD) Jimmy B storms in and De Ro as well. I was surprised Serioux didn't chop him down before the game was out.



De Ro is the heart of the team right now. Dichio falls in just behind him ... heart valve? Atrium? Either way our subs up front are only going to get better in the near future.


Lucky for Richards it ended and TFC must be feeling pretty good to get out with a clean sheet in front of the home crowd. Still have some loose ends to clean up but points are points and hopefully more players are on the way.


And here is the perfect shot to end a perfect night of the beautiful game.
