…I’d say.  

Read George Gross’ column from the Toronto Sun for a slightly less complimentary assessment of TFC. 

To watch the way the team was constituted — and played — yesterday was demoralizing for anyone who has seen bottom teams in the English Third Division perform. Most TFC players must have a volleyball background because they keep the ball in the air when even youngsters in Pickering know that it is supposed to be kept on the ground.

Moreover, TFC players lost 90% of one-on-one duels, walked instead of ran into position to receive the ball, and acted as if they had never heard that following a corner kick, or a pass from the wing, they should head the ball down and towards the net, not five feet over the crossbar.

Now, you may say I’m caught up in my enthusiasm for the team, but whereas I see potential for improvement, he sees need to gut the team save for a very few players which doesn’t include the likes of Wynne, Edu, or O’Brien. A bit much if you ask me.
