Uh, TFC Ajax, that's MY department!

OK, here's TFC's starting XI:



On the bench: Roberts; Aceval, Maund, Henry, Silva, Lambe, Soolsma.

 

I know, dude. Just pulling your chain!

 

And obviously, Aceval and Soolsma's suspension, if they were ever officially suspended, is over.

 

I guess TSN isn't going to have Luke Wileman call any more TFC matches. It's our old friend Nigel Reed on the mic again tonight.

And yes, I know he's doing the EURO 2012 stuff...

 

Wow. Johnson gets a beautiful chance to open the scoring early. Should've buried it.

 

Good pace to this one so far.

 

A JDG-type diet?
