A few more tweaks.

The TFC front office is starting to warm up for the holidays. Earlier in the week TFC named Leo Percovich the team's new assistant coach Monday. Percovich spent last season as goalkeeper coach with Chivas USA. Big deal SNORE!!!!

Exciting news from the office has Amado Guevara leaving the team According to several reports, Guevara has signed with Honduran club Motagua. Also on the way out are Pablo Vitti and Lesly Felinga.

Pablo Vitti really did not amount to much while he was here. I had high expectations of him but really I don't know if it was the lack of playing time. Maybe he is just shit. ya I think he is just shitty.

Lesly Fellinga, well I really think that this guy did not get a chance to play and it is unfortunate because the time he did play I found that he was very effective. He probably just was not in Preki's plans for the new season. I would imagine Fellinga will land a job somewhere soon.

Amado leaving is good.. I would rather that he left before the season started rather then waiting for the season to begin and find out that there is trouble in the dressing room. My take on it is straighten that shit out before you start the season. Get rid of the poison.

Amado did his job well when he was here. We didn't make the playoffs with him so no biggie getting rid of him and lets continue the building process. I want to watch a winner this season. Not a dirty bunch of losers! Buh Bye AMADO!!! See Ya Vitti.. (your shit) Felinga... I feel like we never really got to know you.. sniff... sniff..

Robo I think you next!

River Plate Invades Toronto

In 2007 Toronto FC announced that they will play Benfica and Aston Villa in friendlies. In 2008 Toronto FC announced two international friendlies to be played against Pachuca of Mexico and Independiente of Argentina.

This year

TFC has brought River Plate of Argentina that just suffered a BRUTAL season. Thanks MLSE for putting together some top flight entertainment! River Plate is scheduled to play Toronto FC in an exhibition game on Tonight! at BMO Field. Then they travel back to Edmonton to face English Premier side Everton in an exhibition match on July 25 at Commonwealth Stadium.
They'll stay in Edmonton and hold their training camp at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park.
Originally, River Plate was going to hold their training camp in Montreal.
They will go to Montreal for an Aug. 3 game against the Impact the following day and make their way back to Buenos Aires from there. Originally River was slated for a 3 game tour of Canada they were supposed to play Italy's Juventus. BUT Juventus Kicked River in the nuts and now they have to play the Montreal Impact.

From What I can gather River Plate sucked the Big one last season which would explain why they are playing TFC in a friendly. Just like Independiente from last season MLSE brings us more cellar dwellers.

I am really not sure how I feel about all these "Friendlies". There is nothing to be gained other than to see how Gerba, White, and Edwards may play against "top level opposition". Possibly scout River Plate to see if they have any garbage players they would like to dump on us in some sort of loan deal. Friendlies should not be played in the middle of the season the whole world has them in the off season to avoid injuries and to prep players for a new season. Yesterday I was way stoked about the match today not so much. Possibly cause its going to rain but realistically cause the match does not mean a whole lot.

That's a whole lot of nothing from me for today. maybe tomorrow I will be more creative especially after the game has been played..
