TFC returns to Charleston, South Carolina tonight to take part in its fourth consecutive Carolina Challenge Cup. Toronto has participated in the pre-season tournament every year since its inception, and this little tradition has become much anticipated amongst TFC supporters as it gives us a glimpse into the Reds preparation shortly before the real thing kicks off.
This year, perhaps more than any other since the first, that little glimpse is badly needed. With Preki coming in and cleaning house, TFC heads into Charleston with an alarmingly thin roster, and many more questions than most would feel comfortable with merely two weeks prior to First Kick. Supporters have heard that help is on the way, with numerous trialists rumoured to be joining the squad tonight.
Perhaps the biggest name linking up with Toronto tonight is Egyptian international Ibrahim Said.

And then there was one.
With the news today that Carl Robinson has been released by TFC, there remains only one original roster member on the squad, captain Jim Brennan. And while Brennan will seemingly retire a hometown Red (especially after having just signed a new one-year deal), “Robbo” will need to pursue other opportunities to close out his distinguished career.

Yesterday the CSA finally announced what every hardcore Canadian soccer supporter had long known, that its men’s national team would be taking on powerhouse Argentina in Buenos Aires on May 25.
Somehow, little Canada got chosen as the opponent for Lionel Messi and company’s final preparatory match prior to jetting off to South Africa for the World Cup. In fact, the match will also headline Argentina’s bicentenary celebration.

Apparently, Toronto FC is the biggest collection of morons in the history of world sport, for (possibly) donning a star above its crest in commemoration of last year’s Nutrilite Canadian Championship win.
So says repeat Canada-baiter Bill Archer, who apparently hates all things Canuck so much that he finds the time to laboriously pore through every piece of available information on us in order to feel better about being a Crew supporter. All supporters of the Columbus Crew are supposed to hate all thing Canadian soccer, especially the stuff emanating from Hades’ lair also known as Southern Ontario, in case you weren’t completely up to speed.

The entire MLS 2010 regular season schedule was released at the league’s website today, including Toronto FC’s fourth year fixture list.
We’ve already known for months that The Reds would be opening the 2010 campaign on the road at Columbus, as well as matching up against New England away on April 10, before debuting BMO Field’s brand new grass pitch and north stand against expansion Philadelphia Union on April 15. Today brought the rest of the year’s fixtures to light, allowing us crazies to finally plan our spring, summer and fall accordingly. [...]

With the TFC players checking in at BMO Field this morning for pre-season physicals, the 2010 season is officially underway.
Of course, while there was no action on the field over the past few months, Toronto was busy as always off of it. The biggest offseason acquisition is the field itself, which is in the midst [...]

With its two picks in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, Toronto FC selected US U-17 defender Zach Herold and Cameroonian Nane Joseph.
Port St. Lucie, FL, native Herold was chosen with the eighth pick in the draft, 24th overall. He played for the US in last year’s FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria, helping the American side advance to the Round of 16 before they fell to Italy by a 2-1 scoreline.
Following his performance in the U-17 World Cup, Herold received an offer to play for FC Koln in Germany, but the young fullback ultimately decided to sign a Generation adidas contract with MLS late last month. As a member of Generation adidas, he will not count against the salary cap.
