Monday MLS Breakdown: Crazy clash between DC United and Toronto FC highlights ...
It wouldn't take more than a cursory glance to pick out the marquee matches on tap prior to the weekend.
The clash between FC Dallas and Los Angeles deserved top billing for its meaning at the top of the Western Conference table, but New York-Real Salt Lake (storyline: two supposedly fallen powers trying to return to the straight and narrow) and Seattle-Sporting Kansas City (storyline: two searing-hot teams meet at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park) also merited plenty of attention.
While those games will receive some scrutiny in due course, the only place to start the review of this wild weekend is the place where most of the crazy events occurred.
No prizes for guessing Dwayne De Rosario and Toronto FC were at the heart of those peculiar occurrences. The headline-grabbing club and its former captain – plus Bill Hamid, Ben Olsen, the beleaguered referee crew and a few other assorted actors – combined to conjure up one of the most chaotic and ridiculous matches of the season in a 3-3 draw at RFK Stadium.
Oddly enough under these circumstances, the first half didn't provide too many talking points. Hamid made a disastrous decision to rush off his line with defensive cover available and procured a thoroughly deserved dismissal for a thumping challenge on Eric Avila after seven minutes. De Rosario scored the first of his three goals after 19 minutes with a long-distance drive from a quick free kick, while TFC flailed around fruitlessly in possession until halftime.
(Note: For a side that predicates its success on a possession-oriented 4-3-3 approach, TFC often lacks purpose and sharpness on the ball. The spell between De Rosario's goal and the interval showed an infuriating dearth of ambition and imagination. TFC's possession came without any discernible purpose whatsoever, which is a crime given the circumstances. D.C. United isn't managed by Helenio Herrera, it doesn't defend particularly well and it didn't even have the full complement of players on the field. Needless to say, Aron Winter took corrective measures by early in the second half and matters improved as the match progressed. Unfortunately for Winter, it took all three of his substitutes when he really needed to use one later in the match. But more on that later.)
Even in the period after halftime, the match proceeded along a normal course. TFC took heed of its presumed hairdryer treatment at halftime and drew level after Peri Marosevic's timely intervention punished Steve Cronin's continued preference to punch instead of catch in wet conditions. The visitors may have even gone in front soon after if not for a tidy piece of play from D.C. and a terrible error from Andy Iro in the 64th minute.
