2009 preview: Five questions about TFC
In year three of TFC it’s fair to say that the expansion label is off. MLS is not a league that requires a long time to build a club that can challenge for a championship. Chivas was the Western Conference champion in just its third year; Salt Lake was a goalpost or two away from playing in the MLS Cup in its fourth.

So anyone that says ‘but they are only in their third year’ when referring to TFC’s performance in 2008 hasn’t really been paying attention. In many ways this team needs to win now because it’s being held up by a whole whack of allocation and its core is on the wrong side of 30.

Make the playoffs? That should be a given. The Reds’ goals should be higher than that.
