Home Opener Bitches!

Mood: Super, crazy excited!!
State of Mind: Optimistic, hell super optimistic! And wide awake!
Weather Report: What do you think? Do you even go to games? It's raining; as always. 


All right boys and girls it's home opener time!! This is the day we've waited for - the day when we all march down to BMO to cheer our Reds onto victory!! You know the drill - get up, grab coffee (or your favourite form of caffeine), get kitted out in your best TFC gear (or at the very least something red!) and get your butt to BMO! And by get your butt to BMO I mean BEFORE the match starts!!  Let's start Season 6 (or SIXual Healing as per The Yorkies) off right and actually be in your seats before kickoff. I know, I know; it's an early start - 1pm is not the best starting time - but that's no damn excuse!! We are fans; we are supporters; we love our team - we should be there to you know, actually cheer them on when they take the field. Not ten minutes into the bloody game. So be there on time, in red, in full voice and ready to cheer for TFC!


What am I expecting today? I'm expecting TFC to shake off the loss to Seattle last week; to put behind them the distractions from the injuries to Frings & Frei (check out WTR's story) and to show that they are a different team. One that can overcome their defensive issues; keep possession and score goals.  San Jose is by no means an unbeatable opponent even if they are one of the clubs that that TFC has been supplying players to over the years (TFC; the MLS feeder club!). Former Red favourite Alan Gordon is unlikely to play, but perennially missed midfielder Sam Cronin (oh Sam, we do miss you) is likely to be out there frustrating our players and attempting to set-up Chris Wondolowski (or Wondo if you prefer), one of the most dangerous strikers in the MLS - Do not leave this man unmarked!!  OK - that's my lazy attempt at analysis for today. For far more thorough check out the links at the bottom.


  Today all that matters is that we get to see our team, in OUR HOME for the first time this season!!  This is what we wait for, this is where we want to be for the next 7 months, our Fortress BMO.  Remember - we are the 12th man; we have a job to do - support (wear red, clap, chant, yell, sing) and make it clear to opposing teams that this is not a place where you stroll in and steal 3 points.


So wake up everyone!!  Get ready (and get your rain gear; I did warn you about the rain) to cheer our boys onto victory!!


COME ON YOU REDS!!  TFC, T-O-R, OOOOOO, TFC!
