MATCH DAY 3 RESULT: TORONTO FC 0 - KANSAS CITY WIZARDS 3

Toronto FC lose yet another, this time 3-0 to the Kansas City Wizards at a very wet and rainy Arrowhead Stadium.

A first for MLS tonight, there may have been more fans at BMO Field in Toronto watching the TFC - Wizards game on the video board than actually at the match at Arrowhead Stadium. It was a beautiful yet very chilly night down by Lake Ontario. With parking free, and $12 food vouchers provided at the gates, a smallish but very enthusiastic crowd made their way to the CNE grounds tonight (a few nut jobs were lined up by 6:00 pm). Nice to see the supporters groups were in full voice in the first half. Though the proximity to the video board or perhaps more importantly the Carlsberg beer tent at the other end of the stadium, and the hapless play of TFC, was enough to take the wind right out of even the most enthusiastic fans tonight. Due to some technical difficulties, I was worried we would miss some of the match, though everything was worked out for the kickoff.

I'll provide a full report after watching the game again, and thawing out - which ever comes first.
