The Starting 11: Things Toronto has to offer to free agents
THE STARTING 11: Things Toronto Has to Offer to Free Agents The Off-Season. It’s where Toronto FC are Vikings! As the local foot and ball side aim for the third straight “Off-Season Championship” (to complement their zero on-season championships) we are once again being regaled with the reasons why Toronto, and BMO Field in particular, is THE place for prospective free agents and transfer targets. First up in the...
THE STARTING 11: TFC Goalkeeping Solutions
Goalkeepers. Rarely has Toronto FC had one that didn’t depart in odd or controversial circumstances. One wept while only wearing the tiniest of towels.

Hmmm… not quite. Not terrible… but not quite. And that’s the rub really. At his price,...
THE STARTING 11: Other VMP Final Countdown Comments
It’s still The Final Countdown! It’s also still duh-do-dooo-do, duh-de-dooo-do-dooo. As the Vocal Minority year-end list draws to a close (Collen Warner’s in the top ten, let that sink in for a moment)we want to take the time to thank and acknowledge all those who volunteered both locally and across northern North America to make it what critics are calling “a year-end list”. High praise. What makes The...
