They were sublime, demonstrating a mastery of possession rarely seen. Everything that is right about the game was on display to...wait, what?
TFC?
You don't want me to talk about Barca. TFC? Really?
OK, fine.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Yeah, that was awful. It was likely the worst game ever played at BMO Field and only the New York disaster ranks above it all time. This is the second time this year that I have suggested that TFC has played its second worst game of all time.
This club isn't very good. That kinda sucks.
The question is what we are going to do about it. I'm not sure booing them off the pitch -- as many did today -- is all that productive, but, at the same time, it's hard to stay enthused for 90 minutes when you're losing six bloody two.
I'm not defending anything to do with this team today. The need to be better. Period.
It's possible to be competitive while rebuilding. With 10 of 18 teams making the playoffs we aren't asking for the moon here. Yet, for some reason, TFC can't pull it off. I'll say it right now: If they make the playoffs I'll, I don't know, wear a dress while singing Sweet Home Alabama in Dundas Square. I'll fit in.
The thing about this team, however, is as a TFC fan you don't have a lot of options. You either trust that Aron Winter knows what he is doing or you demand that he be fired. I'm not sure another head coach is in the club's best interest.
In Winter we (sort of) trust. Please God let this be the lowest point.
On the up note, at least United didn't win.
