TORONTO FC (13th) VS. CHICAGO FIRE (8th)
BMO Field - Saturday 4:00PM EST
TV: CBC -----RADIO: THE FAN590
When our Great Lakes rival Chicago Fire comes to town tomorrow, the BMO Field faithful will see the deepest opponents so far this season. The Illinois Boys have bench strength that The Reds' could only dream of. While their record is mediocre to start 2010, their quality can't be argued. Toronto alternatively has one man to count on.
Yes, our hometown hero Dwayne De Rosario is TFC's "One Man Gang" and imagining this club without him is a frightening prospect. De Ro has scored all of TFC's regular season goals except for one which he himself set-up with a beautiful assist. We have beaten the a-Mo-zing team building and its' resulting depth to death here but if anyone doesn't recognize that De Ro is this club's greatest player yet, they need to go back to watching hockey.
The Fire flame into T.O. (see what I did there?) for the first time without Mexican superstar/ burrito enthusiast Cuauhtémoc Blanco. No lag in talent for the Chicagoans though as they have added ex-Fulham striker Collins John and on-loan Polish defender Krzysztof Krol. The new additions are blending nicely with the returning talents of midfielder Justin Mapp as well as forwards Brian McBride and Patrick Nyarko. There are multiple weapons on Fire - Toronto supporters can wonder what that's like.
Preki will have ditched "The Great Salt Lake Experiment" once and for all and will need to put his best first team out there if TFC are to preserve their "Fortress BMO" record. Unfortunately "no experimenting" still has to deal with 5 years of "Mo experimenting" and that likely means that the heavy lifting will fall on De Ro's shoulders once again. If the Scarberian has an off-day, so will The Reds. You'd think he could get a song every game by now rather than long retired heroes. Funny that.
AKEEM THE AFRICAN DREAM SAYS: 1-1 Draw
ONE MAN GANG SAYS: 0-1 Chicago
HEADLINE: "DE RO HAS OFF GAME - REST OF TEAM JUST STARE AT EACH OTHER"
