While you're relaxing and indulging in plenty of chocolate, your TFC boys are hard at work in the Carolina Challenge Cup, earning a record of 0-1-1. Throughout the tournament, we've missed Maurice Edu's tactical skills, and Marvell Wynne's pace, as they've been training with the US U-23 Olympic team, fighting for a spot in Beijing 2008. TFC wrap up their training in Carolina with a game on Saturday Night at 6:00 PM against the Charleston Battery.
