“I realized the effect the game had on the country and the world, and realized ‘everybody is watching this. Everybody is touched by this.’”

To no one’s surprise, Toronto FC announced the signing of 17-year-old keeper Quillan Roberts to the roster, promoting the Brampton, Ont. native from the Academy ranks to the senior team.

Toronto FC fans were more than a little surprised to find out that Vukovic played in the Impact U21’s 1-1 draw last week against the Rochester Rhinos of the USL. Vukovic came on as a 65th-minute sub and provided the through ball that led to Alessandro Riggi’s equalizing goal.

He has seven goals in five matches. Is it too early to start the Roy Lassiter goal watch? Lassiter holds the MLS record with 27 goals in a season, done in an era of mini-games and shootouts.

Then the Caps imploded, giving up three second-half goals to the Quakes thanks to a series of mistakes in the back that’d have you thinking you were watching the 2011 edition of the team.

Montreal coach, Jesse Marsch, fielded a reworked starting XI to begin the game against Toronto FC. The decisions paid off as the Impact got off to a good start, grabbed a lead in the early going and held it — despite giving up a goal in the late going — to put its historic first MLS win into the books.

Henry, who had five goals and three assists for the New York Red Bulls through the club’s first four matches, got 17 of the 25 first-place votes from the membership of the North American Soccer Reporters. Vancouver Whitecaps’ keeper Joe Cannon — who has yet to give up a goal this season — finished second in the voting.

The Montreal Impact came to visit Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, hoping to slay a dragon. It was somewhat of a David versus Goliath affair, and the probability of its first ever MLS win was unlikely. But, the visitors did a lot to frustrate their more experienced opponent and the effort nearly worked — yet, the home side came out with a 1-0 win.

At halftime, TFC defied critics by being tied 2-2 with a team that hasn’t lost at home this season. But, by the 64-minute mark of the game, it was all but over.

Though Harris only received a yellow card for his late elbow that pinpointed the head pf the Philadelphia Union’s Carlos Valdes last weekend, the MLS Disciplinary Committee had another look and decided that the infraction constituted serious foul play.
