With the 2008 season approaching, does anybody have any idea when they plan to release the 2008 full schedule?? Getting antsy!
You were not totally wrong. The crew home schedule is out I think. http://blog.dispatch.com/crew/2008/02/tentative_schedule.shtml
Something I made up for the U-Sector site.

The Toronto FC 2008 Season Schedule 1 Saturday, Apr 19 (MLS) Real Salt Lake Home 12:30 2 Saturday, Apr 26 (MLS) Kansas City Wizards Home 3:30 3 Thursday, May 01 (ESPN) New York Red Bulls Home 7:00 4 Saturday, May 17 (MLS) Columbus Crew Home 3:30 5 Wednesday, May 21 (MLS) D.C.

I don't like the idea of playing 3 road games at the start of the season but then again after that is a 5 striaght matches at home.
Paul gave us the schedule on the message board, so I added in the preseason dates that are on the Toronto FC site. Plus since I was bored I put the upcoming fixtures for the national teams that we have players on. It wasn't really hard, the hardest part was getting everything to lineup for cosmetic purposes.
Why can't the MLS have an alternating schedule like the rest of the world? No home games in July is stupid.
Are the games going to be on C.B.C. again this year? How do you get MLS Live? I have Star Choice Satellite.
Yes. No television schedule has been released yet by the CBC. I'm sure the CBC is figuring out how/where to shoehorn games into its schedule. MLS Live is through the MLS website. You go to the website and subscribe (it is surprisingly cheap), and you are good for a full season. Cheers!
I think most games will be on CBC this year. By my count about 67%. The only games CBC won't take are weekday games and those that conflict too much with hockey.
I spoke with some people at TFC this morning. They are deciding on the premium games today, and should annouce by Monday (not sure how accurate that is, but at least they are on it now). If they stick to 5 prems like last year, I would assume it would be: 1-RSL Apr 19, 2-NYRB May 1, 3-DCU May 21, 4-LAG May 31 5-FCD Aug 3 (or maybe HOU Sep 27). For those of you who bought the Western Conference Half season pack, it's official that the 7 games will include: RSL, SJ, DAL, COL, CHV, HOU, and the 7th game because they don't include LAG will be the KCW game on April 26. Looking at the schedule (and I don't really know how/when other leagues around the world end) but there are a few gaps that might be pointers to when they might schedule a friendly. Those gaps include: May 6-16 June 29-July 11 Anything after the all star break, they only play once a week, and it's always a weekend. I really hope they don't schedule it June 29-July 11 because I'll be away!!! I'm already missing out on the San Jose game due to travel I was looking forward to that one.
I'm personally glad to see a couple of the midweek evening games are kicking off at 7:30 instead of 7PM. I may actually be able to see a couple of midweek kick-off's at last! I got fed up of missing the start of the 7PM games last season!
