TO FC

For those of you outside of Canada, and perhaps several of you in Canada, Toronto now has a team in the MLS - Major League Soccer: Toronto FC. The league is run like other North American sports leagues in that people have to buy in rather be promoted from a lower league, so there's no relegation and a draft rewarding the bad teams for being bad. So, it's not perfect.

But it is nice that a relatively high level soccer team now exists in Canada. However, in their first four games, TFC had not scored a goal. Thus, I think it's fair to say that they wanted to get one today when they played Chicago in Toronto.

And the sun was shining on the club, as they won 3-1. The goals were good ones. All crosses into the box that were well handled, although I thought Goldthwaite who scored the second one, which broke a 1-1 deadlock and was the winner, was taking too long to get a shot off, but when he did fire it, the ball went under legs of a defender who'd come across to try and block the attempt at goal.

So, TFC has their first goals in club history, and their first win. Hopefully, it will be the first of many.
