THE MATCHUP: Wounded Upper Canadians seek revenge

"Come on you Reds!"

TORONTO FC (10th) VS. NEW ENGLAND (14th)
　
BMO Field - Saturday 1:00PM EST
TV: CBC -----RADIO: The Fan590
　
In TFC's second game of 2010, the New England Revolution gave them a 4-1 Boston strangling which had supporters seeing red. Oh the good old days when "Mo Must Go" was the buzz word. I miss that. However, TFC has been playing much better as of late while The Revs have gone the other direction and are winless in six.
　
It would have been a good opportunity for Toronto to get a little Loyalist revenge if it wasn't for the fact that they are very jet-lagged, missing Dwayne De Rosario and most likely Julian de Guzman and have had the kick-off bumped up due to UEFA Champions League lust. The match could go either way at this point with "Fortress BMO" needing to make up for the fact that TFC will be all Twinkie tomorrow... you know, "soft in the middle".
