Are you smarter than Paul Mariner: Round 16

Break time is over, back to work everyone. As if it wasn’t difficult enough for Toronto FC followers to get back into league action Major League Soccer has come out of their World Cup nap and thrown the Reds a Friday night match in New York.

The break couldn’t have come at a more fortunate time for TFC who used the two weeks to get back to 100% health. Daniel Lovitz may be the only player to miss Friday’s match to injury. With nine games coming up in July Ryan Nelsen will need all the healthy bodies he can find. Julio Cesar and captain Michael Bradley will still be in Brazil for the World Cup as both of their countries advanced to the knockout round.

New York has seen competitive action since their last MLS outing however it was approached much like a friendly. The new-age New York Cosmos stomped on the Red Bulls 3-0 to eliminate them from the fourth round of the US Open Cup two weeks back. Mike Petke, like Ryan Nelsen, will have a full healthy squad to choose from. Tim Cahill should be available for selection but not Costa Rican left back Roy Miller.

Will TFC extend their lead on New York in the standings or will the Red Bulls defend their home with honour?
