THE MATCHUP: A Galaxy so long ago

"IT'S A TRAP!!!"



LOS ANGELES VS. TORONTO
　
HOME DEPOT CENTER - SATURDAY 10:30PM ET
TV: TSN ----RADIO: THE FAN 590
　
THE KICKABOUT:
Oh Admiral Ackbar, our AquoSapien pal, you couldn't have exclaimed it better. Who knew back in March, when LA Galaxy visited SkyDome, that our "New Hope" for 2012 was nothing but "A TRAP!" to our emotions? Many Reds' supporters had great optimism for the year ahead on that exciting night. However, as the season peters out and we face LA once again, that hopeful night seems light years away.
　
After the scrappy and rebellious Reds blew up Galaxy's plans to rule the CONCACAF universe back in spring, it seemed like the two clubs were going in different directions. But, as we now know things have all gone very Empire Strikes Back for Los Angeles - currently 3rd in the West; while it has been all Attack of the Clones for TFC: a long, disappointing affair which has alienated the most devoted of fans.

WHO ARE YA?
It's late season silliness but if you don't see the comparisons between TFC and Star Wars then "stay on target" with these Porkins...
BMO FIELD = THE UNINHABITED FROZEN PLANET OF HOTH
TOM ANSELMI = THE EMPEROR
DEFENSIVE LINE = INJURED EWOKS
CLUB ESCOBAR = THE MOS EISLEY CANTINA
SIX SEASONS = THE FIRST THREE WERE FUN, THE LAST THREE WERE JUST PLAIN AWFUL

And... Since it's Friday and our TFC Family is as dysfunctional as any family, here's a show to help us through it. Hosted by your favourite Mon Calamari!
