AFTER 90 - Bradley returns but still go down swingin'



FC Dallas - 2
Hedges 37'
Pérez 88'
Toronto - 1
Nakajima-Farran 21'

WHAT WE EXPECTED: Depending on who showed up healthy, the range went from 'planning the Cup parade' to 'gonna take a whuppin'.  
WHAT WE GOT: The counter-attack stylings that we've come to expect with the welcomed addition of Bradley and Osorio, but it was just not enough.

THE GOOD:
- Nakajima-Farran's goal.  Not spectacular, but stayed composed to do the business.
- Counter attack was working, for what it's worth.
- Jackson made himself available throughout the match.

THE BAD:
- Crosses ultimately did them in.  Giving them up with 12 corners was rough, but pelting the net with them with little comprehensive defending to it was what did them in.
- Julio Cesar could only do so much.
- Gilberto was invisible for too long, as was Bekker.

THE MALARKEY:
- As much as it's awesome to wear reds on the road, why did Dallas wear their alts at home? I blame marketing and merchandising departments.
- Don'tcha hate it when the other team subs in their big gun and he scores in the 88th minute?

THE YORKIES' TFC NON-BRADLEY MAN OF THE MATCH: Nakajima-Farran

I had this stuck in my head during the entire report, so I should share it.
