A better game from Toronto but a disappointing mistake from the kid Edu in the end. The way TFC has been playing lately the Champions League spot is a toss up for me - Montreal could advance at the expense of their MLS opponents.
Come on boys - let's start playing some better football.
The standard is higher this year: an MLS play-off spot and a Champions League berth.
Let's do it.

Whitecaps 1 TFC 0
Not a beautiful performance today from John Carver's boys in losing 1-0 to the Vancouver Whitecaps in Champions League qualifying.
I expected more quality from TFC in a match against a lower-league opponent. We were very poor on the ball and showed little ability to breakdown Vancouver. Dumping ball after ball into the box might get you a goal a game but it won't stand you in very good stead in the Champions League - if you get there. I didn't like the frantic pace nor the macho rough-housing in the opening segment. We played the Whitecaps game. We got sucked in. Carver has to take the blame here. While it was an exciting finish, it was a loss and it was an "unprofessional" performance.
But I still love my team.
Let's play some beautiful football - and win boys!
