TFC advanced in the CONCACAF Champions League preliminary round play with a 2-1 win over Real Esteli of Nicaragua (4-2 aggregate for TFC).  Game was played on Aug. 3/'11. in Nicaragua.  TFC now advances to the group stage, which includes Mexico's Pumas. Panama's Tauro, FC Dallas or El Salvador's Alianza.


It was TFC's first ever win on foreign turf in  CONCACAF action.
 
Former TFC player Dwayne DeRosario potted three goals to help the D.C. United tie TFC 3-3, on
Saturday night, in Washington, D.C.

DC a man down almost the whole game and we still cant eek out a win.... some things never change
 
Not to thrilled with the result. Having a man advantage for 90 minutes (83 regulation + 7 stoppage) and only getting a draw is a disappointment. However, there were enough twists and turns to make this game very interesting to watch. JDG scores for TFC, his first goal for the club and even that came on a strange play which led to DC Manager Ben Olsen getting sent to the stands. I still think that the back four is the big problem with this team. Andy Iro just got whipped like a government mule on all 3 DC goals, especially the penalty.
 
Looks like the TFC will be without it's top netminder, Stefan Frei, for today's match-up at home versus Real Salt Lake.  Frei is currently tending to a minor knee injury.

TFC coach Aron Winter seems quite confident in going with back-up, Milos Kocic, against one of the league's premier offensive teams.  "Winter added: "We have all the confidence in Milos".

Kocic played in the 2 Champions League games. He was decent, but really mucked up late in the 1st leg and gave up a goal. Real Salt Lake have plenty of attacking options. Could be a long night at BMO.
 
Now the schedule gets really interesting. Off to Panama for a CCL match on Thursday, then back to Chicago for a MLS game Sunday. Wednesday sees them host Dallas in the CCL and then finish the string hosting San Jose in MLS on Saturday the 27th. Counting last night's game, that's 5 games in 15 days with the travel to Panama and Chicago.

That was posted by CONCACAF last night, but they still didn't want to abandon the game. They did get the full 90 in this morning. Dallas won 1-0 to go top of the Group. TFC will now face San Jose in MLS play Saturday. Their next Champions League game will be September 14th against Pumas UNAM in Mexico City.
 
It is sad how the interest seems to be waning for TFC - hopefully they can get back on track and get some of the supporters back.

TFC tied the San Jose Earthquakes, at home, Saturday,  in a MLS matchup.

I was at that game after winning a Carlesberg promotion and there was no shortage of atmosphere in the stadium. Sadly, the assistant ref blew an offside call that cost TFC its 2nd goal. Then the defense fell apart on a corner kick late in the 90 and left a proven goal scorer in Wondolowski open for the tying goal. I spent the last few minutes on the field before handing out the MOTM and I'll say this, you sure get a different perspective, especially with the speed of the game, down on the field.
 
TFC defeats the Columbus Crew 4-2, Saturday, with De Guzman potting the winning goal.  It was Toronto FC's first victory ever over the Crew, in Columbus.

Mexico's Pumas UNAM defeated the TFC 4-0 in a CONCACAF group stage matchup.  The loss leaves the TFC in third place in the Group C CONCACAF standings with three points, while FC Dallas is first with seven points, Pumas UNAM second with four points, and last is Tauro with two.

Nice rebound this afternoon at home against the defending MLS Cup champs Colorado Rapids. A brace from Danny Koevermans brought TFC a 2-1 win. That's 2 wins in a row in MLS play. However, they do not have enough games left to get into playoff contention. Next up is a CCL home game against Tauro FC of Panama on Tuesday night.
 
Danny Koevermans continues to impress, as the former Dutch star led the TFC to a 1-0 win over Panama's Tauro FC, in a Group C CONCACAF Champions league match-up.

The TFC is now in second place in the Group C standings with six points.  First place is occupied by FC Dallas.

Upcoming game for the Toronto FC is a MLS match-up with Chivas USA, in L.A., this Saturday.
