Toronto FC stunk up the New Jersey swamp as they dropped a laugher 3-0 at Giants Stadium. NY outshot Toronto 21-3, 11-0 on goal. Had it not been for some stellar play by new goalkeeper Kenny Stamatopolous the score could very easily have been worse.
To add insult to injury, Colin Samuel was substituted in the second half after picking up what was reported as a "bruise below the knee". Hopefully it is nothing more serious then that. To make matters even worse, Midfielder Chris Pozniak was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge, and will miss the next game.
In all, it was a dismal effort by a team that showed signs of promise against the LA Galaxy only a week prior. Injuries or no injuries, this type of performance is unacceptable for athletes at this level. I'm sure Mo has really ripped into them, and I hope to see a MUCH better performance at home when TFC hosts Chivas USA.
