Luckily, the question as to whether or not I should pay up and go to Beckham’s (potential) MLS debut game at BMO Field has been answered for me, thus saving me from deliberation and (potential) disappointment should he not play. I am still not in Toronto and won’t be until mid-month, so while I am forced to watch the games on MLSlive.net 20,000 of our faithful TFC followers will brave the hype and hoopla to catch a glimmer of a World Class player.

And to all those naysayers and haters, let’s be honest for a moment. David Beckham is truly a talent match or surpassed by very few in the World, and we are lucky to have him in the MLS.

But the game should be exciting whether or not he plays and, if he doesn’t, all the better - we’ll beat more easily (right?)

I hope those lucky 20,000 this weekend voice their support louder than ever for TFC as the entire football/soccer-loving World will be watching!

It’s nice to see that readers from across Canada are interested in Toronto FC, but I was surprised to see just how much support was coming from Brandon, Alberta!

Also, check tfcmls.blogspot.com for further updates on the TFC keeper situation. Looks like we might have some home-grown talent coming or way, if he’s correct. If the talent is there, it would be good for TFC’s roster situation that our keeper be Canadian as we only have some many spots that can be allocated to foreign players. If TFC is to become serious about consistency in its roster (something Sir. Mo hasn’t been all too concerned about thus far) they need to start employing and developing the local players.

The TFCMLS blog over at blogspot.com is reporting a rumour that TFC is about to sign a new keeper to replace start Greg Sutton who is likely out for the season. Be sure to check out the site for updates and speculation.

This move, unfortunately, seems to be necessary at this point. If the team is going to turn around this recent slide in form it will have to start filling the holes - all of them, but especially in the back. It’s been awhile since we’ve had the growing pains of an expansion team in Toronto, but these are felt even more by Toronto FC fans because of the passion behind their support. The passion deserves a winning team, but the product, as is, is not up to that level. So, improvements need to be made while the current squad matures. If that means taking on a loaner from Portsmouth, as tfcmls.blogspot.com believes will be the case, then so be it.

We deserve to be in BMO field come the playoffs. We an only hope that the squad deserves it by then too.
