bittersweet....

USA wins tonight 2 -nil vs. Mexico @ Crew Stadium tonight.....


As a TFC supporter.... the off season is filled with christmas, basketball, hockey and pointyball. But once the lads gather @ BMO Field to start preseason training.... you get that bug.

Watching youtube vids/frequent trips to the message boards of the RPB, U-Sector and the Voyageurs as news and discussion of the upcoming season starts to buzz. Of Course, this time of year also brings us the continuation of world cup qualifying in the CONCACAF region.


Bittersweet it was to watch USA face off vs Mexico tonight, Our Canadian boys led by a couple of Toronto raised boys had entered the initial round of qualifying with the hopes and dreams of hundreds of Canadian supporters who truly belived THIS was the team. The team to go all the way to South Africa in 2010.

Bittersweet it was to see the lads draw @ home in the red fortress known as BMO Field vs. Jamaica in a very winnable game.

Anger and frustration rose as Canada began to lose each qualifying game, our dreams of South Africa and potential games vs England, Italy and Brazil slowly fading......

Fast foward to today and its us Canadian supporters cheering on Marvell Wynne as he and the other American players celebrate a win that takes them one step forward to South Africa....

yes... its bittersweet.
