Toronto FC face The Columbus Crew


Columbus currently sits one point above Toronto in the Eastern Conference. The Trillium Cup will be decided on Saturday at Crew Stadium. The teams have played to a pair of draws in their meetings this season and Toronto has never defeated the Crew in club history. It would be nice to add more trophies to the case. Toronto already has picked up some silverware this season. I do not think that tonites match up will have the same sort of Toronto FC fan following as in previous match ups. The cold hard truth of the matter is Columbus is a shitty town to visit and they treat us like garbage in the stadium. Ali Gerba is making his MLS debut tonite. Hopefully he brings some of his Gold cup success with him. Ali scored a goal for Canada earlier this month in crew stadium. The Crew are currently on a four-game unbeaten run, including a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake this past Saturday. For TFC midfielder Sam Cronin is out, because of international duty, while forward O'Brian White, Nana Attakora and Adrian Serioux are questionable with injuries. You can catch tonites game at 7:30 p.m. ET (ONN; RogersSN)
