Toronto FC

The Colorado Rapids were in high spirits after picking up three points on the road last weekend.
A repeat performance could be hard to come by north of the border, where they haven't seen anything go their way.

Rapids-Toronto FC Preview

TORONTO (AP)  Former Toronto forward Edson Buddle scored his 99th MLS goal - from close range in the 77th minute - to help the Colorado Rapids beat Toronto FC 1-0 on Saturday.
''There was only a few spells of decent soccer being played out there,'' Colorado coach Pablo Mastroeni said. ''The rest of it was grit, rolling up your sleeves, second balls and battles. That's what I said to the guys going in. This game is not going to be about soccer, it's going to be about determination and will and fight and getting those second balls and shielding and putting balls in dangerous spots.''
