AFTER 90: Utah taints

Kyle Beckerman: He knows he's pretty

REAL SALT LAKE - 3

Alvaro Saborio - 11' (PK)

Luis Gil - 28'

Alvaro Saborio - 55'

TORONTO FC - 0

WHAT WE EXPECTED: The toughest test TFC would face so far this season and most likely a difficult loss in a match where The Reds would see little possession.

WHAT WE GOT: Some pretty fuggo stuff. Disjointed, overly-scrappy and tactically lacking. RSL is a quality club but if Toronto FC want to play with the big boys this season they can't trot too many of these out.

THE GOOD:

- Michael Bradley just can't stop. Win, lose or draw that engine keeps going.

- The Bradley to striker laser-passes are still working.

- They don't get pushed around.

THE BAD:

- Slow starts to both halves becoming a theme for TFC this season.

- Defensive composure from first two matches not on show tonight.

- Steven Caldwell's studs-up challenge on Ned Grabavoy could end up costing him further if MLS Head Office reviews it.

- Jermain Defoe came off in the 60th minute holding his leg - possibly hamstring related.

- Out possessed by massive margin and even if you don't rate that stat - did little with the possession they did have.

- The feared depth issues reared their heads in a big way. None of the starting 11 replacements had any kind of impact.

THE MALARKEY:

- Kyle Beckerman's dreads have gone full-out natty. The family of possums now living inside it are said to be healthy and happy.

- Looks like The Osmond Family have won this round of their vicious rap fued with Drake.

- Ned Grabavoy still has the perviest sounding name in MLS. Steven Caldwell may have been doing a Nightline investigation.

- John Stockton shorty-short-shorts spotted: 0
