San Jose looked overmatched in the first half against Toluca but forced their style of play against them in the second half and out-played them most of that half imo.

Imagine how MLS teams would look if we weren't currently 10 to 15 games behind fitness wise.

These early games can be really rough on the MLS teams, but I think we did really well. Now it just comes down to winning away from home.

I agree great crowds all around.

Even with the large away supporters group in L.A.

not spectacular or anything.
I only saw a few minutes of last week's match but I guess much better than that game...Henry in the lineup is obviously a huge factor. Glad to see Convey in the midfield rather than outside back too. It was a pretty even match but Colorado got a lucky PK call for their goal

Hope to see improvements

I really miss Plata.

Though I'm pretty happy with our forward situation here in Toronto.

What happened to RSL last night?

Had a good lead, and blew it in the dieing minutes.

blah freaking goonies.

I hate when RSL decides to go into a full on defensive mentality. All it does is create more scoring chances for the opposing team....oh well, can't complain about a point on the road :banghead:

Only took 9 minutes for TJ to turn the lead around. Galaxy defense looks awful.

Yup, terrible game.

Looks like MLS will be shut out again this year. I don't see any of the MLS teams moving on.

Looks like L.A finally woke up in the second half, but by then it was too late.

Clint Dempsey suspended two games for nut slap during TFC game.

Great camera angle, no denying Dempsey's intent. Hopefully Bloom's nuts are alright.
