Just stupidity...that's all I can say. That is the most accidental of "fouls" let alone an excuse to send a player off. Ecks is in possession of the ball, swings his leg out to scoop it forward, and he steps on the guys leg. The ref has a great line of sight, doesn't call it but the side official does. Then the impact player shows a cut on his leg and suddenly it's a red? Ok then. I expect this from a CONCACAF ref, not from a competition as prestigious as the Amway Canadian Championship.

Finished at the top of their CONCACAF Group with a 6-1 Win in their last fixture over hosts, Guatemala

Just a quick reminder for those with an in interest in Canadian soccer players, German soccer, or the combination of both:
Today is the German Cup semi-final between
Greuther Fuerth and Borussia Dortmund
Kick-off: 3:30 pm EST (8:30 CET).
I didn't see any live tv broadcast for Canada but a tape relay on Sportsnet World at 10pm EST has been advertized.

Greuther Fuerth will feature Canadian forward Olivier Occean who is the current top goal scorer in the 2. Bundesliga.

Looks like the club will have to maintain an eye on the horizon for depth players, particularly at the CB position, as Andy Iro and Peri Marosevic will not be returning next season with TFC

Here it is guys, the man himself addresses the prospects of Jonothan joining the squad

Call me a stickler for the European ways... but I can't help but feel depressed now that TFC are mathematically out of the Supporters' Shield race. It's barely August...
I guess that just means Champion's League knockout stage or bust!

Winter will remain GM but Bob De Klerk is the new head coach.

Mo, Carver, Cummins, Preki, Dasovic, Winter, De Klerk.....all in 4 1/2 seasons of existence. What a club.
