THE MATCHUP: Real-ity check

Kyle Beckerman: "Is it Reds boy day?"

TORONTO FC (16th) VS. REAL SALT LAKE (5th)
 
BMO FIELD - SATURDAY 7PM ET
TV: GOLTV RADIO: FAN 590
 
THE KICKABOUT:
- Can TFC continue its unbeaten streak against an opponent far superior than the last four clubs they faced?
- Is the recent offensive output a fluke or can The Reds continue these multiple-goal results?
- Can Andy Iro regain his confidence after his terrible night out against D.C. United?
- Will the dreadlocked wonder that is Kyle Beckerman be tired after his midweek showing in the US Men's squad friendly vs. Mexico?
- Will the Utah Royal Family be in attendance?
 
MANUFACTURED DERBY NAME: "The Monarchist League"
 
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
TORONTO FC: Eric Avila, Richard Eckersley, Torsten Frings
REAL SALT LAKE: Kyle Beckerman, Nick Rimando, Alvaro Saborio
 
THE ODDS:
- TFC still being referred to as "the new look Reds": 10-1
- Travelling RSL supporters mocking Toronto's Lake Ontario for its "lack of salt": 20-1
- Kyle Beckerman offering TFC's "white boys" an egg roll: 50-1
 
WHO ARE YA?
- To battle drooping attendance figures, MLSE has marketed RSL as "Utah's Real Esteli"
- Security at BMO Field will be upped as there have been concerns that right-wing extremist Mormon sects are considering Julian de Guzman's goal last week as a sign of the apocalypse
- Bob de Klerk was fined by Major League Soccer for his innocent Dutch-accented pronunciation of RSL hometown "Shalt Lake Shity"
 
THE WAGER: 1-1 Draw (2011: 18-14 with 6 exact scores)
FUTURE HEADLINE: "RESULT LEAVES REDS ROYALLY FLUSHED"
