Toronto FC will play Chivas USA on Saturday without nine of its 11 starters. Coach John Carver appealed to the league to reschedule the match, but was turned down.

Absent for Toronto will be:
Greg Sutton (Canada),
Jim Brennan (Canada),
Carlos Ruiz (Guatemala),
Amado Guevara (Honduras),
Tyrone Marshall (Jamaica),
Jarrod Smith (New Zealand),
Julius James (Trinidad and Tobago),
Marvell Wynne (U.S.)
Carl Robinson (Wales)




This is crazy...

any of you 'inside' people hearing MLS talking about adhering to the international calendar?

We were just talking about depth, and the lack of American players to keep things on a high-level (especially with expansion coming again)... you'd think MLS would have to rethink it's scheduling.  Are they just waiting for a couple of more stadiums to come on line so they can control the venue's better?
