TFC (5-12-12) started its push toward the postseason last week with its first win over the Columbus Crew, 4-2, and if it can maintain a perfect home mark in the series with Colorado, the playoffs would seem more realistic. Aron Winter's squad cannot just look at last week's win over Columbus for some motivation, because Mexican side Pumas rolled |
