Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool all started the season successful all gaining 3pts. While Man U started with a unimpressive nil nil draw with Reading, where Man U not only failed to score, but also lost the services of Wayne Rooney for up to 2 months with a ankle fracture.</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;">In the MLS, Toronto F.C failed to score a goal yet again as they were handled by NY Red Bulls 3-0. Toronto were not able to hold teenager Jozy Altidore off the score sheet as he netted a pair of goals while Juan Pablo Angel scored the other. I was looking forward to this match against NY Red Bulls, while i had a feeling that Toronto would walk away from NY with a tie, apparently I was wrong, as Toronto was beat by a much better team. Toronto also played with a man down as Toronto Midfielder Chris Pozniak received a red card for a take down on Red Bulls Dane Richards. </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;">Toronto has been facing a numerous amount of injuries which includes fan favorite Danny Dichio, Cunninghame and Ronnie O'Brien. All three players are starters for Toronto and are key components to the FC offence. </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;">Watching the game, I have to be honest and was discouraged to see the field conditions of Giants Stadium. It is discouraging as a avid Soccer fan to watch a game at the MLS level on a American Football field. How do we expect to promote the game further when teams such as NY Red Bulls lack there own soccer facility? I tell you one thing, BMO field, although field turf is still a Soccer Facility and for that I am thankful!</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;">Also note, Beckham did not see action against the Revolution due to his ongoing ankle injury.</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;">FC Scoreless streak 462 min...</span><br />Cheers to the mighty Redpatch boys.<br />We want Dichio Back<br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;">Who was your man of the match for F.C?</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;">MRC!</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/925906274034286752-6931354749783249957?l=footballkicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matteonoreply@blogger.com0
