3 BIGGEST SURPRISES AFTER FIRST MONTH OF THE MLS SEASON

(1) Toronto FC are (were) tied with DC United in last place of the Eastern Conference. New York are in first.

(2) The first Canadian to score a goal in MLS was not from the Toronto FC roster. Surprisingly, it wasn't Dwayne De Rosario of the Houston Dynamo either. The first Canadian to score in MLS this season is Kevin Harmse of the Los Angeles Galaxy. Harmse, who was signed by the Galaxy in the off season, scored a wonderful goal in the Chivas - Galaxy SuperClassico at the HDC on Saturday night. Harmse scored on a splendid one-two with Landon Donovan.

(3) Not scoring in their first 4 encounters of the season, has helped keep Toronto FC in the spotlight. Both soccer fans and non-soccer fans throughout the Greater Toronto area are talking about the team because they haven't scored yet. While the majority of fans still have no idea who is actually on the team, most know they haven't scored yet. Not scoring has actually given fans and the media a reference point to discuss the team.
