Just like most other sports franchises in Canada, soccer/football has one team(except hockey). Will be interesting to see how good Toronto FC is but DC has always been dominant in east.
Well for those of you who care, I thought I would give you an update. Anyways, its been four games, four losses, no goals! We are yet to score our first official franchise goal....but we still love em! Ou rhome opener was last Saturday and it was great to see a packed crowd. The crowd was cheering and jeering and it was a great sight to see from a Canadian perspective.
So far most of the games are sold out, and I can barely get tickets. I hope it get tickets a backdoor way because I may be working at BMO field this summer for the under-20 Fifa World Cup.
Also we got some new player from England, Dave Dichio or something of that sorts, any background info on him?

Ex boro youngster ronnie obrien is your captain?
Dichio has been at many clubs during his spell in england, did well at sunderland and then got a move to sampdoria in italy where he was unsucessful , came back to milwall and helped them reach fa cup final, preston was his final destination where never got his chance because of david nugent and co. Decent player who can play as a target man and at mls level should be a lethal striker.

Thats it! I am terrible with first names..I just see the first letter and presume what it is! He didn't look that bad in his first game last Saturday but could have done better cosnidering we are still looking for our first goal!
And TORONTO SCORES IT FIRST GOAL IN MLS HISTORY!!! None other than our English import Danny Dichio showing what he is made of and the confetti goes up (lol I know but its our first goal!). TFC looking good so far in the 34th minute and dominating the Chicago Fire. I really wish there were more MLS fans....then I wouldn't feel such a big idiot.haha.
I like....

I know - but what became of him in MLS.hasbeen said:
According to Shaun Weedlock (sp) -US broadcaster, Adou would be good enough to play in League Div 1 at best - thats 2 divisions below the Prem.
He could walk into Darlington FC....
Oxy said:
He started do real well at the age of 15 and there was alot of hype. I mean he was 15 and playing like that, that just says potential! However, seems like it got bit to his head. He got soem decent marketing gigs and now he is a shadow of his former self...

Dichio - Torontos answer to LA Galaxy's Beckham!
Good atmosphere at the ground through.
WHo'd have thought 'Danny Dichio - History maker!!!'

Today we beat Houston Dynamos who are the defending champs of MLS! They have Canadian star Player Dwayne De Rosario. Just check out the clip below of him....but great win for us today considering we were missing star striker Dichio but Andy Welsh came through for us.

Another update:
We lost last Saturday to the last place team 2-1, after a penalty that shouldn't have been given was given. It was terrible referee'ing. One of the DC players collapsed LITERALLY 5 seconds after getting hit adn we got a yellow. Our guy takedl him, he jogged a couple steps and then just collapsed over. It was terrible.
However in a cheerful news, we drawed with Benfica 0-0 last night
Our goalie was playing like buffon, absolute classic.

Sutton improving eh? Good to know

He has been awesome for us this season. He was one very big reason we won our two gamres because he makes key saves when needed. Our defence seems to be non-existant this season. Heck on Saturday, the first goal was a own goal!
