Match Blurb: Toronto FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps

So this week's midweek MLS action featured Toronto FC and Vancouver live from BMO Field in Toronto. Now, in any week, this probably wouldn't be a game most people would crave a chance to watch, but this week, both of these teams are squaring off again on Saturday for the NCC Final. Winning the NCC would not only give them a trophy, but the right to go to CONCACAF Champions League and get destroyed.

Anyways, since there was another game on Saturday, the teams rested some guys. In Vancouver's case, they rested their entire offense. The first half blew as the two teams kicked the ball around midfield and the keepers sat inside the 6 yard box drinking Molson Ice. Not a single shot on goal.

The second half sucked too. However, we got a goal when TFC got a soft penalty. It was a penalty, not arguing with it, but it was a tough call. Soolsma slotted it, even though he had to retake it, and gave TFC the margin they needed for three points in a 1-0 win. Hopefully the NCC match will be better.
