RBNY, TFC in Saturday Morning Cartoon Matchup

posterboys

Toronto FC will roll their Canuckistani soccer extravaganza down to the Meadowlands tomorrow to face off against Red Bull New York in a Battle of Bubble. There's a good chance one of these two will make the playoffs but probably not both. Obviously I am biased toward the New York side but surely NY's attack out weighs TFC's by a mile. But then again our defense is as porous as Edward James Olmos' cheeks.

And as you can see there will also be all manner of aliases and handles on full display for our nicknaming pleasure. El Zurdo ("Lefty"), El Lobo ("The Wolf"), The Bear (Jon Conway), Goldie (Kevin Goldthwaite), El Pescadito ("The Little Fish" Carlos Ruiz) and the Staten Island Maradona (John Wolyneic) will all be in the house making this look more like a throwdown between the Justice League & the Legion of Doom than a soccer match. I doubt anyone will wear tights with underwear over the top, but don't be shocked if Ruiz's ego walks in wearing a cape.
