Catching up on my reading of the Toronto Globe and Mail this morning, and this item caught my eye in Paul James' post-game piece critical of TFC's management and team:
Meanwhile Osvaldo Alonso in the middle of the park displayed one reason why Julian de Guzman has been so poor this season. Athletically he just cannot compete with the Alonso brand of player. And there are plenty in Major League Soccer. But even on the technical side of things JDG and Nick Labrocca were found wanting when compared to the Cuban exile. At an approximate salary of $70,000 Alonso appears to be another bargain within Major League Soccer.
True enough. Ozzie was a terror in the Toronto midfield, harrying players, dispossessing, moving the ball effectively for Seattle. I wouldn't be too hard on the TFC players, though. Ozzie does this to most teams. For my money, the man is definitely the engine room of the Sounders.
