Final Score:.....Toronto FC......0..........FC Dallas..........1...........
Attendance was announced as 21087.
The team has been out of town for two weeks and the program lineups on the back cover have not been updated. This is the one game where there may have been more sold because of all the player changes made around here in the last few weeks.
Finally this is the game where new designated players Torsten Frings and Danny Koevermans could play and we had been warned in the press that they are not yet match fit. They'd been watching games for a few weeks but had to wait until the opening of the International transfer window on July 15th. They also have added in the last few weeks forwards Ryan Johnson, midfielders Terry Dunfield and Leandre Griffit, and defenders Andy Iro and Eddy Viator. Gone are forward Alan Gordon, midfielders Jacob Peterson and Tony Tchani, and defender Nana Attakora (the last member of the original 2007 first year team). Viator had not even been mentioned in the news but apparently had been signed just hours earlier.
The Man of the Match (who is always a TFC player) was Torsten Frings playing his first game for the team.
Kevin Hartman earned the shutout for FC Dallas but only needed to make three saves.
The new look TFC team needs a lot of work as there were far too many passing mistakes and messed up plays. Press reports said some of the players only had one practice since joining the team. That may be enough to be on an All Star team but not against a team that plays together every day like FC Dallas. The lost points sink TFC further down the standings and make their playoff chances even further remote.
