TORONTO —Two weeks after a devastating loss to Sporting Kansas City, the
memories were still painful for Toronto FC. Percy Harvin Jersey . Kansas City won 1-0 on
a Kei Kamara free kick in the 83rd minute that was deflected at the wall before
going in off the fingers of goalkeeper Milos Kocic. “The last Kansas game left a
sour taste in our mouth,” said Canadian international midfielder Terry Dunfield.
“For sure, I think that was a nil-niller all day. Someone leaves the wall and
all of a sudden they score on a deflected free kick and you get beat 1-0 at
home. That was tough to swallow.” The Reds (5-15-6) will have a chance at
redemption today at Livestrong Sporting Park when they play Kansas City for the
third time in this Major League Soccer season. Kansas City won 2-0 at home on
June 16 in TFCs first match under Paul Mariner after he took over as head coach
from Aron Winter. Kansas City (14-7-5) will be without speedy forward Teal
Bunbury who had season-ending knee surgery and defender Aurelien Collin who is
suspended for the game. “Theyve got massive depth,” TFC defender Richard
Eckersley said. “Whoever steps in is going to be a threat. Were not going to
have a day off by any means. Weve just got to be on our game and on our front
foot constantly.” Toronto forward Eric Hassli has a rib injury and wont play
Saturday. The injury forced him from the 3-1 loss to Santos Laguna of Mexico in
a CONCACAF Champions League match at BMO Field on Tuesday. That was another
disappointing result for Toronto. The Reds had tied the game in the 68th minute
on a goal by Quincy Amarikwa and they felt they played well enough for a draw.
But a familiar theme for their season played out when Santos scored in the 90th
and 92nd minutes. “Over the past month weve been getting real close without
getting past the finish line, seeing the games off,” Dunfield said. “I think 1-1
was probably a fair result the other night. I dont think it was a 3-1 game. “I
think its lots of little mistakes that are leading to goals right now. Were
making poor decisions, especially when it counts in the last five minutes. In
general were making naive mistakes maybe. Mistakes that shouldnt be made when
youve put in 85 minutes of hard work). It seems like we cant get away with
anything, we really are being punished.” Dunfield feels there have been
positives. “Were keeping the ball better now, were creating chances and I always
feel weve got a goal in us,” he said. Toronto worked on ironing out the kinks
during Thursdays session at Downsview Park. “Possession, out of possession, in
possession,” Mariner said. “Determination to get it back. Tempo. If in doubt get
it out, its such an old adage. “When you watch Brazil, Argentina, Barcelona, all
the great teams, all the highlight reels show the attacking play. You never see
them when theyre under real pressure, they just put it up the field. Theres no
shame in that, its just a way of winning football matches or keeping yourself in
football matches.” Notes: Dunfield and defender Ashtone Morgan have will play
for Canada in World Cup qualifying matches against Panama Sept. 7-11. ...After
Saturdays game, centre back Darren ODay will join the Republic of Ireland for a
World Cup qualifier at Kazakhstan on Sept. 7 but will be miss Irelands next
game, a friendly, so that he can play in Torontos game against Chicago at BMO
Field on Sept. 12. ... Hassli picked up the rib injury in the 2-1 loss at
Columbus on Aug. 22. He also had back spasms, which cleared up but the rib
injury persisted. ....TFC defender Jeremy Hall was at Rogers Centre Thursday to
renew acquaintances with Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Dave Martinez. Hall, who is
from Tampa, played soccer and baseball with Martinezs son Josh. ...TFC had a
short workout Friday before departing for Kansas City. Kyle Rudolph Womens Jersey . He got it
anyway. Rios tripled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Chicago
