How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time,
And it don't get better than this!"

Alessandro who?

Life is good, and the points keep rolling in for TFC. It's now five games in a row they've claimed at least a point. Sure, a bit more effort and luck to go with some of that late pressure in the last two games could have added four more points to the pot, but at least it's not zero as usual...right?

But if TFC want to make it six games in a row, they'll have to do it against the Union: a team that's traded away most of their stars, fired their coach, was really struggling leading up to said firing, but have improved quite a bit since. Sounds like a familiar story, doesn't it? It looked like a defeat here would see them replace TFC at the bottom of the pile, but a late winner in L.A means that no matter the result, TFC will still be very much the sole occupant of MLS' dingy basement apartment.
