MLS wins and losses. Week 2
Want this in your ears, without all this reading and link clicking, but with a lot of interruptions and digressions? Sure you do. Then you should be listening to the Vocal Minority Podcast. This week’s episode will be out later this week, but for now, woof, just look at the archives. Yes, last week was the opening weekend for the league, but this week, this week was when MLS really got it’s MLS on. Some entertaining...
Morrow’s red card no excuse for tactically naive Toronto FC
Did Justin Morrow get the ball? Yes he did. Did he also get the man? Yes he did. Did he get the man first? It was close, but yes, yes he did. Was it a foul?

Canada gets to play in Toronto! wow! Also, yikes, tough group.

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 1
Can’t be bothered to read all this, with all it’s words and links and stuff?

With roughly an hours worth of TFC insight and vaguely TFC related malarkey all around it! Sounds like fun, right? Then go check out the Vocal Minority...
Greg Vanney – Master tactician?
Before the Vancouver game, there were 4 things I was mainly going to be looking at as harbingers of good or bad things to come, Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley, Greg Vanney’s tactics and the Caldwell/Perquis partnership.
