Picking Up Where We Left Off

There's a nice sort of symmetry to the Fire beating Toronto 3-0 in Toronto, as if it makes the team's lackluster play for the last ten weeks seem like some sort of bad dream. This was the result we should have gotten on May 12, and that 3-1 loss in the same stadium sent us down some sort of alternate timeline, where we only won one league match out of our next eleven and got bounced from the U.S. Open Cup in the process.

Now we've corrected the anomaly and the correct reality has been restored. Let's hope it's not too late to salvage the season.

Hats off to Chris M. of BigSoccer, who coined the name "Blanchopolfe" for the Fire's soon-to-be attacking trio, as the Telefutura announcers actually used that moniker during the telecast. On the other hand, I think they also got referee Jair Marrufo confused with Tim Weyland, as they seemed to be calling the ref Weyland through the entire first half.
