    And While You're In Toronto...
    • Why not stop by the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE, if you will!) after the match, or even before it? The CNE runs from August 18 to September 4 this year.

    What can you say here except that I hope they don't let points slip away against a low-ranked team again and I hope no one gets injured?

    Anyone think we'll see some squad rotation ahead of the Montreal game or will Vanney just let things ride?

    They should rest treat this like the mid-week Canadian championship games against Ottawa and leave Giovinco and Bradley out unless it's not going well and then sub in if necessary.

    I can see resting some starters like you suggest. On the other hand, if we're chasing the Supporters' Shield, all points are valuable so it would be nice to come out strong.

    I would bench Gio and start Bradley. If we get ahead, sub out Bradley, if we start to struggle sub in the Gio.

    A good game. Nice to see them put it away against a lower ranked team. Also nice to see Osorio get a start. Now on to Montreal.

    3 very good goals indeeed.

    Pick of the bunch had to be the 3rd.

    Also, and i think these are important to note when they happen, a very nice performance by the officiating crew. A well managed match.
