VMP Final Countdown: Number 26 – Bright Dike

Highest Ranking: 17 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 24.21 Duncan: 26. Ah Bright Dike. I was relatively happy that TFC brought him back, that he didn’t get taken in the expansion draft. Could be a good depth option behind Altidore, or maybe even he could play in the middle of a 4-3-3, bringing his own brand of carnage to occupy the centre backs with Altidore and Giovinco playing off him? Imagine the possibilities if he could...

El informe del sofa del Sur: El Salvador vs Canada

Well, we finally Fucked Honduras. That’s a start and a very satisfying one, but beyond any sense of mild vengeance, the important thing it gets us is 3 points.

Yes, it’s that time again. After 8-1, then a few welcome months off, a few years of friendlies, gold cups, pan am games, it’s time for serious world cup qualifiers again. And hey, we get to start off with Honduras! Delightful. Is there really any hope for Canada to make it out of this group and into the Hex? Sure. Mainly because Honduras and El Salvador seem kind of hopeless and shambolic right now, a half decent team...

So then, about that whole playoffs thing.

It’s been a few days since TFC’s grand playoff adventure came crashing to such a miserable and predictable halt, this is clearly a bit late, but really it’s taken a while to rouse the energy needed to write this. The whole thing was just so dispiriting, it wasn’t ‘a hard fought game and well, one team had to lose’ kind of game, it was one of the most thorough defeats in the club’s history,...
