Canada's Major League Soccer franchise returns to the tournament for a second straight year after retaining their Canadian club championship title in June. First-year coach Preki has rebuilt Toronto FC into a playoff contender this season with a roster overhaul. The team did not renew the contract of veteran midfielder Amado Guevara while other regulars like defenders Adrian Serioux and Marvell Wynne along with midfielder Carl Robinson were traded away in the off-season. The Reds have rebuilt their squad around Canadian international midfielders Julian de Guzman and Dwayne De Rosario, while adding Martin Saric and Nick LaBrocca to the midfield to avoid a second Preliminary Round exit. Owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, Ltd. - the company that also owns the namesake National Hockey League club and the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association, the Reds will be joined in MLS next season by fellow Canadian side the Vancouver Whitecaps, and by the Montreal Impact in 2012. Both teams compete with Toronto FC for the Canadian club title.
