THE MATCHUP: Late-Night NutCan grabbing

---------------- Mmm... you can really taste the free kick

LIVE ONLINE: canadasoccer.com
 
"Qu'est-ce que vous drinkez? Nous drinkez caffeine allez!" TFC fans will have to load up on the espresso if they want to stay up for the club's third match in the 2010 NutCan aka The Canadian Championship. The late Pacific Time start (screw you and your giant ocean BC) is made worse by Sportsnet's insistence that anyone in Toronto (or likely Vancouver) gives a toss about The Memorial Cup. There's only one cup on the night and that is The Voyageurs' Cup... er Trophy. Even though it's a school night, it'll be worth the Thursday red eyes as a TFC win could clinch the NutCan (insert joke here) for the second year in a row. "Yo homes to BC!"

    i'd be happy with a draw realistically since we'll likely be tired after saturday. then hopefully we can lay the beatdown at BMO and celebrate the win on home turf....uh home grass :)

  2. I want to say I am Ghanaian born and live in Toronto and to come across the Heart Of Oak picture was a wondrous surprise. I am born in Accra and my uncle did play for Hearts in the 1980's. Thank you for a great thing. I follow the TFC now too and think that tonight may be a draw. Peace
