Toronto FC opened their home schedule on Saturday to the delight of their supporters but not the members of DC United. On a frigid day at the Toronto waterfront, the field was not in ideal condition and the visitors were not impressed. "The field was crap," D.C. United forward Eddie Johnson told MLSsoccer.com on Tuesday. "Absolute crap. As much as that team is ambitious, with the acquisitions theyve made, you feel like the field would be in much better shape than that." "It was a disaster," added teammate Fabian Espindola. "An absolute disaster. There were holes, chunks of grass missing. It was as bad as any field Ive ever played on." To their credit, the United players did not blame the field conditions for the 1-0 loss and appreciated the capacity crowd. "It was a big crowd, a loud crowd, a crowd that wanted to see some quality football," added Johnson. "Being part of this league, and playing in some of the soccer-specific stadiums we play on, I can say that pitch was in very, very, very, very bad condition." New England Patriots Gear .

Anthony had one of his finest individual seasons, averaging 27.4 points and a career-best 8.1 rebounds in 77 games. But it stunningly amounted to nothing, as the Knicks were eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday night. "Weve chatted a little bit and I feel for him more than anybody, because the kind of season that he had, he deserves to be in the playoffs and I feel bad about that. I do," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Tuesday. Anthony initially hurt the shoulder earlier this month but kept playing as the Knicks were trying to rally to grab the No. 8 seed. But Woodson was leaning toward not playing him Tuesday at Brooklyn or Wednesday at home against Toronto, even before Anthony had an MRI exam Tuesday that revealed the tear. "Obviously he knew it was bothering him whhen he hurt it a few weeks ago, but he hung in there with us and tried to make this last push to get in the playoffs," Woodson said.dddddddddddd The Knicks said Anthony would not require surgery at this point and would be evaluated in about a month. After that, the Knicks can only hope that when he can play again, its for them. Anthony said before the season began that he planned to opt out of his contract and become a free agent in July. New president Phil Jackson said he had no doubt that Anthony could be the central piece of the Knicks future, but Anthony will likely want to consider his options after missing the playoffs for the first time in his 11-year career. He will turn 30 next month and knows it will be tough for the Knicks to get much better next season, since they already face salary cap woes and wont have a lottery pick, having traded it to Denver in the deal to acquire him in 2011. Woodson said Amare Stoudemire would play against the Nets. ' ' '
