AFTER 90: The blame game

Not having a ball

THE BUZZ:
Would a TFC loss be blamed on travel, fatigue or humidity?
Do any of you still listen to the post-match excuses?
Will Kansas get a rare football "three-game sweep"?
Have the results of Livestrong Park's urinalysis returned?
What's more American - Teal Bunbury or Jacob Peterson's socks?
Does Bunbury's ACL injury stand for American-Canadian Ligaments?
Can I get an AmericaJuice (TM)? Make it "X-Treme F*ckbery" please

THE YORKIES' TFC MAN OF THE MATCH: Luis Silva

THE MOOD:
If you want analysis of yet another TFC late-match collapse, you can read pretty much any of the past two months' AFTER 90's. So, in the spirit of excusing six years of this... here's a tribute to Milli Vanilli telling Tom Anselmi & Co. why there's always something off the field that caused this "injustice". You've heard it - travel, fatigue, injury, turf, locker room cancers, personnel change. I could go on but Vanillia is waiting...

"Blame it on the plane (no charters)
Blame it on the stars (they got injured)
Whatever you do, don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the plane, yeah yeah
 
Blame it on fatigue (so sleepy)
Blame it on Winter - he did no right
Whatever you do, don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the plane, yeah yeah"

  2. I really thought your were being too hard on TFC and cynical with the theme of this article but then I saw TFC's official page: "Injury-hit TFC can't cope".

    You win.
