Chivas Laid an Egg


Sometimes joy arrives in unexpected forms. Emails about eggs? Subject line read: “Chivas Laid an Egg.” Lo! They’ve cracked.

Toronto, I take back all the nasty things I said (for today, and today only).

Sounders FC defeats Toronto FC. Chivas USA defeats Sounders FC. Toronto FC defeats Chivas USA. It’s teleological, baby.

After learning the following from MLSnet.com, I actually felt bad for those dirty Reds:

The win was the first of the season for TFC at BMO Field (egads), and their first-ever victory against the Red-and-White after going 0-4 against the Western Conference side over the previous two seasons (sad).

And lest you need a reminder, "Toronto also became the first team this season to defeat first-place Chivas, who entered the match atop the MLS overall table with a 4-0-1 record."

For all that satisfaction you longed for last weekend, take in the sight of a ball going past Zach Thornton and into the Chivas net...



And breathe a nice big sigh. It helps to have our loss avenged so quickly. Just in time for this weekend’s match. Onward!
