Philly keeper Chris Seitz

 Just to prove my point a little bit further about the Philly keeper Chris Seitz. I searched a wee bit on the Google. I came up with this little diddy its really only a week old the game was played on April the 10th against DC United. At the 18 second mark I am sure the broadcaster is saying " He is so crafty" referring to Moreno but I am sure he meant to say "He is so Crappy" referring to Seitz. TFC should have taken this fella for more then 2 goals.

TFC in six minutes

Toronto FC won the home opener last night.. yeeehaaa... I still think this team needs a lot of work. They played sub-par football against an undermanned expansion team. They had more than an entire half were they played against 10 men. To top it off the Philly keeper is brutal. I know they won the game but they should have embarrassed a team like that. Especially after the embarrassing loss in Foxboro against the Revolution. I was truly humiliated to drive 10 hours to watch the Boston Massacre. As a fan I want redemption!

Toronto FC home opener moved to April 15

BLAH BLAH BLAH... This story seems to be everywhere right now.

Here it is from the Toronto Star

Toronto FC is going to get a little southern exposure on its new grass field.

The Major League Soccer club announced Wednesday that the team's home-opener in mid-April is being moved from Saturday afternoon to Thursday night in order to accommodate a national broadcast in the United States on ESPN2.

TFC will now play the expansion Philadelphia Union at 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 15.

The game will be the official debut of the grass pitch at BMO Field.

Club owner Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment is now in the midst of a $3.5 million conversion of the city-owned stadium from artificial Field Turf to Kentucky bluegrass.

The new field, complete with its elaborate drainage and heating system, is to be ready for the home opener.

TFC is scheduled to kick off its fourth MLS season Saturday, March 27 in Columbus, Ohio against the Crew.

But with the contract between the league and its players union set to expire on Jan. 31, there are questions whether the season will be marred by a strike or lockout.

Both sides are refusing to talk publicly but reports are that the negotiations are not going well despite months of talks and the league may lock out the players Feb. 1.

Philidelphia Union selected the following players

Union selected the following players in the expansion draft:
Jordan Harvey (DF, Colorado Rapids)
Andrew Jacobson (MF, D.C. United)
Brad Knighton (GK, New England Revolution)
Sebastien Le Toux (FW, Seattle Sounders FC)
Stefani Miglioranzi (MF, LA Galaxy)
Alejandro Moreno (FW, Columbus Crew)
David Myrie (DF, Chicago Fire)
Shea Salinas (MF, San Jose Earthquakes)
Shavar Thomas (DF, Chivas USA)
Nick Zimmerman (FW, New York Red Bulls)

Here is the list of Toronto FC players that were not available in the draft in other words they were PROTECTED!!

Nana Attakora
Chad Barrett
Jim Brennan
Sam Cronin
Julian de Guzman
Dwayne De Rosario
Emmanuel Gomez
Amadou Sanyang
Adrian Serioux
O’Brian White
Marvell Wynne

Toronto FC list of available players for the draft:

Brian Edwards
Lesly Fellinga
Nick Garcia
Ali Gerba
Amado Guevara
Carl Robinson
Pablo Vitti
Gabe Gala

Stefan Frei and Fuad Ibrahim do not need to be protected because they’re Generation Adidas players.

I am surprised they did not target Amado, or Brian Edwards. I would have thought one of those guys would have been picked off.

That Philly Team better not make the play offs before us!! It was embarrassing enough last season that Seattle had a winner. I wish we were part of that expansion draft Moreno would be a nice addition.
