Smitty's Silly Game Preview - Game 8 @ TFC

The Crew are winners of 6 out of the first 7 and 5 in a row. Toronto is starting to look like a formidible opponent. Plus, there's a lot of bad blood between the supporters of these two teams, though that's mainly because the one team keeps beating the other team, and the sucky team's fans won't shut up about how awesome they think they are.

This game is going to be red-hot, and one can only guess if the Plastic Pitch will be able to withstand it...

Toronto F.C.


What You Need to Know: Toronto fans are fond of starting rumors. One of the more recent ones is that Columbus will be moved to Montreal for an expansion team. In that vein, another rumor we've heard is that all Toronto fans have syphillis and AIDS. Both rumors are equal in their veracity.

New Additions: Since the last time Toronto lost to Columbus ("played" Columbus is hardly the term), the Red Snatches have added a guy who rejected a trade to Toronto last year (Amado Guevara), a guy with two first names (Laurent Robert), and a guy who is named after a fictional province in Middle Earth (Rohan Ricketts).

Also, Toronto has added a whole new team of footballers who can play at BMO Field:


Biggest Holes to Fill: The void left in all Canadians hearts by the passing of Chris Benoit...

2008 Prediction: Toronto has a better season than most expected, barely sneaking into the playoffs. There, they will gain their new identity: Columbus' Eastern Conference Finals Bitch.

Match Preview here.

Game Prediction: Danny Dichio sputters against the powerful Chad Marshall, and Amado Guevara shoots blanks as the Crew win a defensive contest 1-0. The goal comes from a Guillermo Barros Schelotto free kick. And the Crew keep rolling...
