Just a quick report today. Its actually harder to come up with things to write about when Toronto FC plays a totally comfortable, competent match. That said, if I were to nit-pick, I was a little more impressed with the first forty-five last week.
- What can you say about Amado Guevara’s performance in this match; it was an absolute clinic in stylish, skillful football.
- Though Laurent Robert wasn’t a dominant figure in open play this week, he was still amazingly valuable on set pieces. Nice to see that he didn’t recede into the woodwork when he wasn’t a central figure.
- Great to see Rohan Ricketts make a couple of nice crosses, particularly with his left foot. Michael Harrington did an admirable job of keeping him from attacking the goal, and it was good to see Ricketts make the most of his possession by crossing from out wide. I liked John Carver’s choice to flip Ricketts and Robert, to get Ricketts off of Harrington.
- If I were a fan of USMNT – instead of hating them passionately (offside, my ass) – I would strongly prefer Harrington in the future to the hugely over-rated Jonathan Bornstein.
- Interesting to hear Bruce Arena’s opinion of Greg Sutton during his game commentary. Obviously the memory of Sutton’s horror-show first stint in MLS hasn’t died.

Are you as concerned as I am the Guevara is looking good and seems to be getting better during a year when he is likely to feature in two important contests against Canada?
