THE STARTING 11: Ways CONCACAF Champions League differs from UEFA's

-------------------- It's full of delicious Mexican candy!

When Europe's UEFA Champions League plays its midweek games - the world stops and takes notice. When CONCACAF Champions League gets under way - some dude named Jose might just turn up his transistor radio. Yes, this part of the world's young premier club championship has yet to capture the imagination like an Inter Milan v Barcelona would - but it's ours and we should enjoy it more. For the casual fan, more used to the UEFA brand, here are some handy differences to learn about the CONCACAF version...
　
11. The trophy is actually a bon-bon filled golden piñata
　
10. Eastern European gambling syndicates surprisingly uninterested
　
9. UEFA's tourney sorely misses the "Nick Garcia" factor
　
8. Instead of massive Heineken sponsorship - The Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man" gets to play for the club of his choice
　
7. Twinrix injections are mandatory
　
6. Same famous operatic theme song - just more maracas
　
5. Less Cristiano Ronaldo - more Joe Public
　
4. Higher percentage of matches called off due to "civil war"
　
3. 100% more Belize!
　
2. Final literally watched by dozens worldwide
　
1. Pesos! Pesos! Pesos!

THE MATCHUP: "The Chaaaaampions... Preliminaaaaary"

C.D. Motagua President and logo model Aguilas Azules

TORONTO FC (CAN) VS. C.D. MOTAGUA (HON)
　
BMO Field - Tuesday, 8:00PM ET
TV: GOL TV
　
While it may never be a midweek evening at the San Siro, Nou Camp or Old Trafford, the CONCACAF Champions League is our home continent equivalent and it makes its second stop in two years at BMO Field. Hopefully this time around for more than one match.
　
Toronto FC host Honduras' C.D.Motagua amidst signs of yet another summer swoon. Results and effort have been less than stellar as of late and TFC will have to step up their game if they are to advance to the group stage and not fall as they did in last year's preliminary to Puerto Rico Islanders.
　
Motagua are a far superior club than Puerto Rico was and TFC need to dominate at home in preparation for a second leg in Tegucigalpa which will have an atmosphere that TFC has not seen in any MLS city. If Preki demands more defence-only 1-0 turtle "Preki-ball" and thinks the road-useless TFC will get points in the Honduran 2nd leg, he is sadly mistaken. His nemesis and Motagua star, Amado "I Used to Play Here" Guevara would love to make it happen.
　
MANUFACTURED DERBY NAME: "El Tegucironto"
　
RED-NAPS: Maicon Santos, Stefan Frei, Chad Barrett
BLUE EAGLES: Amado Guevara, Georgie Welcome, Marcelo Cabrita
　
THE ODDS:
- TFC taking the lead 1-0 then Preki putting entire MLSE organization on defence immediately: 2-1
- Amado Guevara and Preki "hugging it out": 500-1
- Mista angering the Central Americans by referring to self as "El Conquistador": 10-1
- Bored/ drunk TFC supporters singing "The Chaaaaampions..." (a la UEFA): 5-1
　
WHO ARE YA?
- Motagua nickname "Los Mimados" (The Loved Ones) won CONCACAF's "Creepiest Nickname Award" three years in a row
- "The Welcome Cousins" are not a Mormon folk-rock duo but in fact Georgie and Shannon Welcome - cousins and Motagua forwards
- Such is the excitement in Tegucigalpa for this match that all Dog and/or Cock fights have been postponed until five minutes after the final whistle
- One of CDM's supporters groups "JAH" (Justice, Love and Humbleness) is actually religious based and claim their trips are paid by God. TFC supporters know God from constantly holding their heads and muttering his name

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Dallas... Or How many misses would Mrs. Mista miss if Mrs. Mista was in Mississippi

What the hell is it with rain and TFC matches. Sure I haven't been at a home game since Canada Day, but it's as if you can't have rain without TFC. People at the Farmers Almanac take note, bumper crops are sure to break Tuesday night.

After the room temperature display in hot-as-f**k Chester, PA, I wonder if the mighty Reds will retain their incredible form at New Fort York (aka BMO). FC Dallas has... Ummmm... players, one suspects. Seriously, I only care about TFC. Will Preki rest players ahead of the "Amado Guevara reunion cup tie"? I hope so... just to see if we can have a little ride on the footballing carousel of disappointment that is Champions League.

Staring lineup

Frei
Hsc - Cann - Garcia - Gargan
Sanyang - deGoo - Labrocca
DeRo
Maicon - Barrett

Please forgive me for the first 50 mins as it was a bit of a monsoon and the few notes I took got smeared pretty bad.

17 - YELLOW - DeRo for a late tankard on a sliding shamrock shake.

22 - Sanyang gets tackled and eats dirty something. Plausible...

23 - DeRo with a rocket launcher on a free sandwich from Subway causing a Hartmann musical number.

26 - Sanyang hits the grass after a late tacklebox from Belgium. [F*cking Belgians...]

29 - "Hernando Flores" Shea for Dallas puts a teddy bear onto Ferreira's bookmark causing Cann to make a lunging calculator.

[For once, being eloquent is a hindrance due to rain. Apparently I gave up.]

38 - YELLOW - Cann was booked for stuff (from memory)

2 minutes of extra time

Half-time mood: precipitated.

50 - the rain has stopped. For now.

51 - Maicon Santos turned three defenders inside out approximately seventy-three times, got hauled down and no call because MLS refs hate show-offs.

56 - SUB - Sanyang off, Mista on. Let's see what this kid is about.

58 - The Chad crosses a lovely ball to DeRo who heads it at Hartmann who can only get a hand to it. Rebound ends up at Maicon who's first crack gets stopped by a defender then falls to ground. Clever b-boy spin move to get another crack at it and fired it over the bar. Too bad DeRo was wide open to take a pass.

61 - GOAL - Maicon gets fed a ball from deGoo and slides it low to Hartmann's right. Clinical.

68 - SUB - Hscavanovicscsc out, Attakora in. Really?

77 - GOAL - Rodriguez pots one from a corner that just handcuffs Frei. Toronto punished for the stupidity of putting 11 men behind the ball at 1-0.

81 - SUB - DeRo out, Vanilla Peterson in. What...?

84 - TFC mount the pressure as someone figuring out squandering a draw was a poor idea. A shot fired veers off Attakora and just wide right of the post.

5 minutes of extra time

90+1 - corner kick ends up over everyone only to be low Superman headed over the bar by Attakora.

90+3 - Gargan throw to Vanilla gets a weak shot off that trickles into Hartmann's hands. And DeRo wouldn't have fared better? Highly doubtful.

FULL TIME: Toronto 1, Dallas 1

Man of the Match: Though Maicon scored a very pretty ball, De Rosario was the workhorse.

Goat of the Game: Well, I was leaning towards Sanyang since he's three shades of useless sometimes but he was subbed out. I wanted to say deGoo since he was either absent or his passes were abysmal at best. However, my goat is Preki. Subbing out a midfielder for a defender so you can defend a 1-0 lead against a team that had done so very little in the second half was tactically retarded. Then taking out the engine was tactically a vegetable. Should've left the side as is and win 3-0 instead of rolling over and let Dallas get a point. Being undefeated at home is nice and all but snatching a draw from the jaws of victory was classic 2nd season TFC.

Ref rating: 3 out of 5. Sure, the banana-coloured idiot called a lot against Toronto and we had to put up with plenty of "dead" Dallas players rolling around clutching their faces, but he didn't call all of them, which is what most MLS refs do.

The game's "excitement" improved dramatically when the weather relented. TFC opened up and, perhaps I'm crazy but, there seemed this feeling of great potential for the brief time Mista, DeRo, deGoo, Maicon, and (dare I say) The Chad were all on the pitch together. Someone's going to get a pummelling at the feet of these 5, too bad it wasn't FC Dallas.

Hope its Kansas City. Or Chicago. Or Columbus.

Or Motagua on Tuesday :)

THE MATCHUP: Dallas Burn after reading

Pretty sure you got burned on this one Dallas

TORONTO FC (8th) VS. FC DALLAS (5th)
　
BMO Field - Saturday 4PM ET
TV: CBC ----RADIO: THE FAN 590
　
It's the match that makes footy ignorants go " but they're both named the FC's?" TFC hosts the boys from Pizza The Hutt Park (enjoy the video) who have more nicknames than trophies - FC Dallas. The club's monikers include: "Toros", "Red Stripes", "The Hoops" and of course "Burn". The only time I've used all of those words together was the morning after my visit to Jamaica's top rodeo where I ate that giant bowl of extra spicy Spaghetti-O's. Think about it... and... you got it! Well done.
　
The match marks the start of the second half of TFC's season and there are fears that The Reds are suffering from their annual summer swoon. Offence has been sputtering and effort levels have been questionable lately. On top of it all, the boys in red were devastated by their Carlsberg Cup loss to the mighty Bolton Wanderers. Can they pick themselves up after losing such a prestigious trophy? The silver lining of that friendly was the potential front line of Maicon Santos and Mista who did show some signs of chemistry. The pretty goal they built together would beat any MLS side - and Saturday would be a great time against a quality FCD.
　
MANUFACTURED DERBY NAME: "El Texi-Can Eh"
　
IT BURNS!: Brek Shea, Jeff Cunningham, Dax McCarthy
IT'S RED!: Mista, Maicon Santos, Julian de Guzman
　
THE ODDS:
- Chad Barrett trying to shoot J.R. Ewing... and missing: 2-1
- Danny Dichio and Jeff Cunningham re-forming their "Fast and Furious" duo one last time and releasing a hit rap version of "Ebony and Ivory": 250-1
- On-loan FCD keeper Josh Lambo legally changing his name to John Rambo: 5-1
- Mo Johnston c*ck-teasing Toronto fans with word of "an imminent new signing": EVENS
　
WHO ARE YA?
- FCD's Pizza The Hutt Park (again, you're welcome) is located in suburban Frisco, Texas, a town named after the slang word local sheriffs gave to roughing up Mexicans. "Frisco"
- Shotgun/rodeo clown related crimes are apparently down 15% at FC Dallas games this season!
- Original team name "Dallas Burn" was voted second all-time least inspiring football club name only behind Austria's "FC Wacker Innsbruck"
- Attempts at organizing a new Philadelphia-style FCD supporter's group has failed. For some reason "The Sons of Bush" just didn't catch on.

No offence to the mighty Trotters but even lower division English sides would turn up their noses at a pre-season friendly against Owen Coyle's side. Bolton will never be mistaken for one of football's glamour teams - but hey, Toronto doesn't exactly play champagne football so we have no right to be cocky.

THE STARTING 11: TFC-themed video games

Could 8-bit TFC hold off 8-bit Columbus?

It's hard for the poor, benevolent owners of TFC, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, to market the team after such a poor showing on the field this past weekend. Those hard-luck millionaires must be huddled around their boardroom table (no doubt constructed out of gold, elephant tusks and the tears of virgins) trying to create promotional products that won't remind people of the tepid on-field product. "Hey!" says an MLSE millionaire between bites of his foie gras, panda and molten platinum sandwich, "what about video games? Look what it did for FIFA... and street fighting... and the hedgehog industry!" Thus, Toronto FC video games...

Now this is the story all about how
This match got flipped, turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
I’ll tell how Toronto FC got beat in Chest-er

Outside of Philadelphia on Saturday
PPL Park is where TFC got played
Chilling out, relaxing, passing like fools
Shooting the football like a team full of tools
When a few of the Union, began playing good
Toronto defended like Garcia could
Philly got one little goal and Preki got mad
And said “Surely after 4 years we can’t be this bad”

The second half had started, Gargan’s throw-in came near
It glanced Barrett’s head and hit the net in the rear
If anything, a Chad goal is really quite rare
But the Reds thought “Yo homes, a draw here is fair”

But angry Usanov had to go punch the ball
Union got a PK with no time left at all
Philly had scored and the game ended there
With a bad TFC beaten 2-1 in Chest-er

The East Stand Report : Philadelphia v. TFC... or holy f*ck it's hot out here!!!

I was at the game.

I know. I'm surprised too.

Sure I haven't made a home game in the last few (moving, parties, travelling) but I can squeeze in a road game. Of course. Duh.

Anyways.

This personal vacation has had one theme running through so far : blindingly stupid humidity. Seriously. The car thermometer read 41C when we left Virginia this morning! So dumb.

Instead of getting seats in the supporters section (when the ticket monkey for PPL Park was asked about "away" seats, he had no clue), I was sitting "comfortably" at section 123. In the sun. I'm fair skinned. I baked.

Without going after the played out "new look Toronto FC" bullsh*t every time Mo signs a "Brazilian", Gambian, Brazilian, they do have some new talent that requires that real game experience. Philadelphia is [REMEMBER TO CUT AND PASTE WHAT THE MATCH PREVIEW SAID HERE].

Starting lineup (I was bored at the beginning of the game) :

Chad - DeRo
Ibby - deGoo - Labrocca - Sanyang
Garcia *shudder* - Cann - Attakora - Gargan
Frei

7' - Sons of Ben impress me by doing a rendition of Man na mah na (it'd have been youtube, but lawyers got in the way of fun... again)

11' - Frei nearly gives up a perfect ball to Sebastien Le Toux. Like he needs the help.

14' - Orozco Fiscal, a defender, is going to give some left back a very difficult time tonight. Really makes me miss Marshall. He's just aching to do a run into the box...

15' - The Chad just whistles a ball past the top left corner.

16' - Only in America... a stoppage of play due to balloons. I suppose there's a precedent for it... I must admit it was amusing seeing both teams huddled in front of their benches waiting for the orange slices to come out.

25' - Gargan with another crap back pass and someone is going to catch him on it and cost us a goal.

28' - YELLOW - Gargan for a late challenge. Ugh.

30' - Impressive ambitious football from Philadelphia. A quick clear from Seitz that travels 2/3rds of the pitch onto the path of Moreno who crosses it to Mwanga only to have Labrocca head it out. It was so fast, it woke people up.

35' - Freekick 20 yds out and DeRo manages to find the midpoint between the stadium and the river.

42' - Cann bails TFC out twice with some great concentration and awareness with some great passing and reading of situations where ball traffic was around him and prevented the ball from getting through. Great stuff.

2 Minutes of Extra Time

45 + 2' - Holy sh*t! Someone on Philly walked the ball into the 6 yard box, and three attempts and blocks left the ball wide open and someone on Philly HIT THE POST. The most remarkable thing about this wasn't that Garcia's fault.

Half-Time Mood : Damn I'm sweating. Game not good enough to melt in this weather.

50' - The Chad lays a really cute ball around 2 defenders to Labrocca who's cross ends up in the hands of Seitz.

56' - Sons of Ben are paying attention! A Union player goes down in the box and a huge "battle cry for blood" appeal goes up for a penalty. Frightening.

57' - I'm on TV apparently.

58' - Garcia didn't screw up again! After tons of Philly pressure, Garcia held his ground and cleared the ball.

61' - GOAL - Orozco Fiscal bagged it. I totally called it. It was at the other end of the park and apparently PPL Park doesn't believe in replays...

63' - SUB - Ibby out, Santos in.

72' - SUB - Labrocca out, Vanilla Peterson in. It's really not that exciting.

75' - Toronto corner sees Santos' first meaningful touch and his header goes well wide of the net.

81' - DeRo threads a pretty ball through to the Chad only to have it cleared away after his first touch. We need to see more of this.

82' - GOAL - Gargan's throw in reaches the middle of the penalty area and The Chad gets up to head the ball into the far left of the net. To celebrate, he does the classic "how you like me now" pose. Brilliant.

85' - SUB - Gargan out, Usanov in. If someone doesn't get punched, this trip is a bust.

89' - Migliorazni slams a ball from 25 yrds out that tragically ends up right in Frei's hands.

Announced attendance : 17,251. Real difficult to get tickets, huh?

4 minutes of extra time

90' - Garcia goes down in a heap and gets taken off the field.

90+3' - PENALTY - Seriously, something happened. Couldn't see it because I was at the other end of the ground. I almost want to declare shenanigans... almost, but PPL Park doesn't do replays...

90+4' - GOAL - Le Toux sends Frei the wrong way. Le Sigh.

FULL TIME : Philadelphia 2, Toronto 1

Man of the Match : I know... this goes against every fibre of my being... but... Nick Garcia. Now before you unsubscribe/send hatemail/commit a hate crime, allow me to explain. Nick usually plays at a rating of about 2, possibly a 1.5 every game. He was a solid 6, maybe a 7. Cann had a solid game. The Chad scored a wonderful bit. But a "decent" Nick Garcia performance happens maybe once a generation. I needed to point that out tonight.

Goat of the Game : Gargan was heading that way. Bad clearances, bad tackling, but he was subbed out before it became a real problem.

Ref rating : 3 out of 5. It may get lower if I actually could see what happened in the fracas that led to the last gasp injury time penalty.

PPL Park is brilliant. They thought everything through. Supporters section that has their own entrance. Roofs on two sides. Plenty of parking. And this...

Dear TFC/MLSE,

How difficult is something like this EVERY GAME? Really? This isn't that complex. The league is littered with nobodies (apologies to 98% of the league rosters) and it would be nice to know who the hell is playing left back on the opposition. This is full colour, card-stock, glossy. I just want a damn xerox.

Regards,
The Yorkies.

Below are a few pics I snapped of the new ground.

Pro tip : avoid night games. You're welcome.

THE MATCHUP: "Union of the Snake is on the climb"

Best ever squad out of Birmingham. Sorry Villa.

PHILADELPHIA (16th) VS. TORONTO FC (7th)
　
PPL Park - Saturday 3:30PM ET
TV: CBC----- RADIO: THE FAN 590
　
"Please please tell me now - is there something I should know" about Toronto's visit to Philadelphia on Saturday? Putting further Duran Duran references aside (no promises) the match is an interesting fixture pitting a Union side that isn't as bad as their record suggests, and the Torontos who want to "save a prayer" for their second road win this season.
　
This will be The Reds' first visit to Philly's new PPL Park and the chance for some new faces to shine. Recently signed Spanish striker Mista will be "hungry like a wolf" to score on his debut if selected by Preki while Maicon Santos (who surely played in "Rio") will want to open his account as well. Union meanwhile are fresh off a friendly victory over Celtic and have found early success in their new stadium. Oh well, there's always a "new moon on Monday". Told you no promises.
　
MANUFACTURED DERBY NAME: "The Derban Derban Derby"
　
PHILLY TAYLOR: Fred, Sebastien Le Toux, Danny Califf
TORONTO TAYLOR: Mista, Maicon Santos, Dwayne De Rosario
　
THE ODDS:
- Philly's Fred and TFC's Maicon sued by the real (good) Brazilian Fred and Maicon: 4-1
- Sebastien Le Toux actually Simon Le Bon: 100-1
- Maxim Usanov arrested for punching Philadelphia’s famous Rocky Balboa statue in revenge for his hero and friend Ivan Drago: 2-1
- A couple of guys getting up to no good - start making trouble in the neighbourhood: 3-1
　
WHO ARE YA?
- In solidarity with Colonial Boston, 18th Century Philadelphians tossed crates of low-grade cheese, unidentified meats and dough into the Delaware River. Sadly, "The Philadelphia Cheese Steak Party" only became an historical footnote
- TFC fans tried to form a new supporters group to rival the Union's but the name "Sons of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe" just didn't catch on
- Philadelphia is a Latin word translating to "village of the angry and rotund". The region's main exports include processed cheese product, heart disease and fist fights
