Backup-tastic. TFC to test out their depth against New York Red Bulls.
After now having been able to sorta kinda more or less watch our glorious Reds in action twice, I’m struggling to think of something really nice to say, as the play has seemed as disjointed as the streams have been. It looks like football, you can see what they’re trying to do, but it’s just not quite come together right has it? Everything’s just a little bit too slow and unfamiliar so far, there’s a...
Toronto FC 0:1 Oklahoma City Energy. It’s only pre season, it’s only pre season.
Ah TFC, it’s good to have you back. The dreamy hype or cynical negativity of pre season can be put away and we can deal with reality, with actual evidence of how things will work out. One game in, how’s it looking? Oh. The first thing to say is the obvious one, this is pre season, it doesn’t really matter, it’s just another step in the process of being ready to go on March 7th. Anything I’m about to say...
Shivering with Ant……..icipation. Toronto FC kick off pre season against Oklahoma City Energy FC
Finally here it is. Pre season matches, or rather pre season matches that aren’t against high school teams and that we can actually watch. What with the trading being taken care of early and nary an exotic trialist rumour to keep us excited over those last couple of weeks or so, the wait for the proper pre season stuff to start has seemed particularly long, so much so we had to talk about all sorts of stuff unworthy of any...
Sponsors and armbands and mascots? Yes, they matter.
For those of you who enjoy (genuinely, ironically, snarkily, however you like) the more esoteric sideshow attraction aspects of football, the side dishes and condiments to the fat steak of the actual game itself, it’s been a fantastic week or so to follow TFC, practically headspinning as the hits have just kept on coming. Let’s re-cap. Deep breath, here we go. New kit leak: It’s as simple as one could ever reasonably...
Captain America. TFC give armband to Michael Bradley
We all knew this was coming. Michael Bradley seemed like the obvious successor to Steven Caldwell as club captain, as much due to his pricetag and reputation as to his (inconsistently last year) inspirational play on the pitch. There’d been chatter of his opinion being very valuable to Tim Bezbatchenko last season, and this off season it seems like the decision was made to really play up just how influential he’d become....
