Why the All Star Game Voting got me thinking why MLS will remain a “different kind” of league for a lot of years to come and I choose my most hated XI for the game against Man United.

Frei saves the point, Barrett keeps his head up and TFC keeps the top offensive cub in MLS off the scoresheet. And I look forward to Wednesday when the Voyageurs Cup can be sewn up.

Voyageurs Cup By The Numbers
I take a stab at all the possible permutations for the Voyageurs Cup and why a TFC win tonight puts then firmly in the drivers seat to defend the title.
Killer Instinct – Does TFC Have It?
Momentum in sports is a very important thing and a team like Toronto FC with so many new players on it needs to know tangibly that they have the ability to go away from home and win a game. They can be told and told and told they can do it until Preki turns blue in the face, but unless they see it for themselves away wins can only be discussed in the abstract.
Bolton Wanders Their Way To BMO Field
My message is this. Go to the game. Have fun. Enjoy seeing world class players that we can only regularly see on television up close, and the fact that Toronto FC actually has a great chance to win this game (again all due respect Bolton) makes it even more likely that it will be a great summer evening at BMO Field.
Squad Rotation – It Has To Happen
…The fixture list for Toronto FC is way too crowded for Preki to settle upon a starting XI and run them into the ground at this point. At some stage, either sooner or later, that amount of games will catch up with a club that does not rest players from time to time. Furthermore there has to be, even though the fan in me does not like it from an emotional sense, more of an emphasis placed on League versus Cup play. And the draw between Vancouver and Montreal last week out west helps make this doable…

Paul Dickov’s name has been one that has been rumoured for months now and T&T forward Kerry Baptiste is apparently trialling with the team this week according to recent reports.
