Can't we all get along? Oh and...Ariba!
TORONTO VS. CHIVAS USABMO FIELD - SATURDAY 4:30PM ET
TV: GOL TV
THE KICKABOUT:
Outside of Rick Martel and Tito Santana's 80's wrestling tag-team "Strike Force" uniting both sets of fans - these two teams have about as little to do with each other as any in MLS. They probably like us a bit for knocking Galaxy out of the CCL and for playing against Santos Laguna, but outside of that? Meh. Do they miss Preki? No? We have that in common. See! He's good for something after all!
MANUFACTURED DERBY NAME: "El NAFTA"
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
TORONTO: Julian de Guzman, Joao Plata, Luis Silva
CHIVAS USA: Juan Pablo Angel, Nick LaBrocca, Heath Pearce
THE ODDS:
- Juan Pablo Angel still scoring against TFC at will: 3-1
- Nick LaBrocca stopping match to remind us about filing our taxes on time: 10-1
- With Montreal now in the league, fixture losing official title of "Most Un-American MLS Match": 20-1
WHO ARE YA?
There can be little argument that Chivas USA are one of Major League Soccer's weakest links. Did the bright ownership not stop to think that they may alienate all of the Mexican expats in the LA area who weren't Chivas Guadalajara supporters? Would Toronto-area Chelsea, West Ham or Spurs fans have supported Toronto Arsenal FC? Uh-huh. But not to fear... Chivas’ white knight could very well be David Beckham who apparently has the clause to buy an MLS club at the end of his contract. Whispers in the LA football/fashion industries say Becks wants to transform the club into "C.D. Hombres USA" and stack the club with handsome and hunky Latino underwear models.

De Guzman on the bench. Put some butter on his head: he's toast here. Gone come July.
