Seats, Fists Fly in First Toronto win

Toronto FC got their first goal and three points of their franchise in a 3-1 win over the Chicago.  Danny Dichio got Toronto its first goal in the 24th minute and the FC faithful responded by flinging seat covers, the give away for the game, onto the field in celebration.

Chicago struck back 12 minutes later with a Chris Rolfe strike from 20 yards out to put FC back on the defensive.  Just before the half a hockey game broke out, with Dichio and Diego Gutierrez getting tossed, making both teams a man down for the second half.

Kevin Goldthwaite struck back in the 51st minute with another goal for the home side.  Maurice Edu iced Toronto’s first win by slotting one home from Andrea Lombardo, Edu’s first career goal.  Toronto gets their first points in their 5th MLS game against a mid level Chicago team.

Fernando Clavijo and William Fichtner

Because a 1-1 game on own goals just doesn’t do it for me (neither does the 20 minute discussion of Freddy Adu). So again, I’m in a “doesn’t that guy look like that guy” kind of mood… see the Claudio-Taylor comparison earlier.

So any way, aside from looking like a blood sucking vampire, Colorado coach Fernando Clavijo looks remarkably like television “that guy” William Fichtner (Invasion, Prison Break). I dunno, maybe its just me.

Finding MLS Game Torrents

Since I haven’t really said anything in a weekish (and since I haven’t watched a game since Thursday), I thought I’d provide an invaluable service and throw up some links for where to get some MLS game torrents.

For those who don’t know, torrents are basically way a distributed way to… well… distribute files over the internet. Think Napster, only you’re pulling the same info from lots of different people, which theoretically could cause faster speeds, but it really used to ease bandwith.

So first, you’ll need a program to download torrents. I use utorrent, which is not resource intensive and is pretty easy to use.

So first, go to a torrent website (listed below) and click on the download link. When you get the dialog asking you what you want to do (open or save), just choose open. If you haven’t used utorrent or other torrent program before, it will ask you what program to use. utorrent should be an option, but it not, browse to it in the Program Folder and select it.

utorrent will open (or if it is already open) and a new dialog will come up basically showing a lot of info, but just click ok to start downloading. That’s it. Then, just play the file in your favorite media player.

You can download the torrents at the following sites:
Hunt Park Insider
Mininova

If you want, you can download the same game from both websites. This will cover you in case more people are using 1 website instead of the other. Just click on one and start the download in utorrent. Then click to use the other, and a prompt in utorrent will pop up telling you that you already are downloading, do you want to add the tracker? Just say yes. Now, anyone who is using either link will be giving you the file, not just one.
