Is anyone else following this team?

Looking pretty darn good so far.

Dwayne DeRosario is a stud (and Canadian to boot) and he's got a good supporting cast.

Footy must survive and prosper in our nation.

Seriously, they're worth giving a few hours worth of your time to watch a game here and there. Very entertaining!

Tough loss yesterday....they've been burned by handballs lately and one going the other way goes uncalled; Fire come right back to score, and TFC never recovered.

Would be nice if Barrett could finish one of those prime opportunities he keeps getting.

Yup. He's got the talent, he's just had some bad luck. He will score soon, probably next match.

It's funny how often I say that. When we first acquired him, I thought we were getting a brash confident striker. Now it looks like he has zero confidence, is still brash but doesn't threaten enough to be a solid striker. He is so aloof at times that he makes Dichio look like he still should be starting.

This team is not good offensively. They tried to address the offensive mid by acquiring De Rosario, but what is really needed is a bonafide striker like...McBride whom we didn't select. Freddie Ljunberg would be a better option at midfield than Guverra.

The best move we made was Serioux. He is such a stabilizing force, but giving up james to get him was steep and I think paired together the back end would be even stingier and more competitive.

And the officiating in the MLS is so inconsistent that Viagra couldn't keep them up.
