Onward!
Quit messing with our openers!
Only three of Toronto FC’s thirty MLS matches for 2010 have officially been scheduled, and already there’s controversy with two of them.
First, MLS decided to send the Reds down to Columbus – again – for the March 27 season opener. This, despite the fact that TFC supporters’ groups are still refusing to organize fan trips to the Ohio capital in the wake of last year’s late-March fun-fest.
(Yeah, yeah, jerks on both sides. Just a real shortage of fans up here who want to pay money to pose for round two. That will change – once TFC/Columbus becomes a real on-field soccer rivalry.)
No problem with the second match. New England, away, on April 10. That’s where the supporter money is going. Expect many busloads of red in Foxboro that night.
Which brings us to the home opener. The first match on the new grass. New coach, new hopes – big names. What a way to spend a Saturday afternoon …
Huh? Wuzzat? Thursday night?
