Toronto needs a new heach coach

It has finally come to this, US Soccer and their insane officiating have driven a coach to quit in the middle of a season and probably leave the continent. John Carver has up and quit after abdicating the bench Wednesday evening, after being fined for having a go at the refs, after what he thought was a poorly officiated game.

Sunil, Vasco is calling you out, maybe it is time to start upgrading the consistency of your refs, so that us coaches who work our butts off to prepare a team, don't have to get high blood pressure because of a bad call, perceived or not. This isn't an amateur game at this level, yes at the games with soccer moms, we shouldn't yell at the refs they are learning, but at the MLS level it can cost a coach their lively hood, and the players, fans and coaches deserve better than what they are getting. Sunil, you are the president get to work, and make us proud, finally.
