Strike? Will The Players Be Walking The Picket Line Or Kicking A Ball In Two Days?
So close and yet so far. The 2015 MLS season is supposed to start on Friday and yet, with each passing minute the probability of that happening seems to get further away. Will the season start on time? The collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players union ended at the conclusion of the 2014 season and as the months have gone on we’ve come to this point; where we’re days away from the season...
Toronto FC Kit And Sponsor Is (Finally) Official
It’s officially here – the new, less maple leaf strewn, still BMO sponsored Toronto FC kit is available for viewing (and of course purchasing). As is usual with things like this in MLS and TFC, the official release of the Toronto’s 2015 kit was little surprise to most, thanks to previous leaks and teases in commercials.

It fit not only because it was an easy way to...
MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Gilberto To Sign With Vasco da Gama?
We all know that it’s just a matter of when, not if, Gilberto is traded away from Toronto FC. Dispense with any thoughts that TFC will pay down his salary with some of their sweet, sweet allocation moneyz; as foolish as this team often is with its money, they’re not that foolish. So unless the MLS rule gods decide to bestow a fourth DP spot upon the teams then he is gone; off to slay wolves for another team and...
Wet Wiedeman Is No More: Andrew Wiedeman Signs With Ottawa Fury FC
It’s truly over – #WetWiedeman will be seen no more at BMO Field for Toronto FC. Sigh. What? I can mourn the loss of my favourite hashtag creation can’t I? Andrew Wiedeman was one of the first players that TFC released after the season ended and instead of trying to catch on with another MLS side he’s signed with Ottawa Fury FC of the NASL. His release by Toronto wasn’t a huge surprise –...
