Default Real Madrid vs. Toronto FC - Live Today @ 5:30 on GOLTV

Alright, well, I'm not a fan of either of these teams, but today the best player in the world and the most expensive player in the world grace the Toronto FC stadium and thats clearly news of note. Obviously, everyone knows that the best player in the world is Kaka, C. Ronaldo is just expensive. Some of the players hitting the field tonight against the MLS Minnows, TFC will likely be: Kaka, C. Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso according to reported coach's words.
Quote:
Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed he intends to hand Kaka and Xabi Alonso their debuts tonight against Toronto FC in Canada. "We will see how the final selection turns out," said the Chilean, "but it is very likely both will get minutes." There's also talk that fans will see for the first time Real's three new Galacticos playing together - Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema - tonight.
http://www.realmadrid.dk/news/article/?newsid=13905 Now, I watched Barcelona play against the Seattle Sounders, a team slightly better than Toronto and and half pace and Messi playing only 45 minutes they thrashed them pretty easily, as such, I anticipate a resounding RM victory tonight, obviously. Anyone care to guess scores? I'm thinking at least 4-0.

I sincerely doubt that Toronto is going to score a goal. I know that Madrid isnt big on Defence, but Toronto will be lucky to get 5 shots on target, let alone a goal.

Seattle only managed 4 shots against Barcelona, granted, they have a better defence.

5-0 Real. Ronaldo feeds off the booing and puts on a show along with Kaka.

Well you just answered your own question, Real doesn't pay attention to defense, I'm sure Toronto will sneak one in.

LOL at Wynne (around 1:20)

Edit: As expected, TFC are getting destroyed. I think Frei has officially stopped trying.

Entertaining game. Real Madrid put on a good show. TFC gave it an effort and a nice consolation goal.

By now people in Toronto should be used to others beating the tar out of their sports teams. At least TFC has the excuse that they really are in a lower tier league.

It doesn't have a grass field. It would be pretty embarrassing playing Real Madrid on artificial turf.

They put grass over the Field Turf at BMO Field for the game. Presumably, they could have put it in Skydome just as easily, if they wanted to.
