  • THE STARTING 11: Rejected 2016 BMO Field Foods

    The unveiling of the new, insanely priced BMO Field menu has become something of an annual tradition. We used to mock back in the day when TFC would try to cook up ethnic mash-ups in attempt to appease as many of us foreign-soccer-types but it’s all changed now. Cantonese Deep Fried Jamaican Patty Scotch Egg…

  • THE STARTING 11: Alternative TFC Heritage Series Matches

    What do you give the fan that has everything? Let me re-phrase that. What do you give fans when you’re a club that has nothing? Why 10 Years of “memorable moments” that’s what! To celebrate a decade of excellence in sportertainment, TFC have decided to add “Heritage” promotions to a series of matches this season.…

  • THE STARTING 11: TFC Presidential Election Campaign Slogans

    After spending a weekend in Washington D.C. it would be hard for TFC not to notice the biggest story in the American capital – the looming presidential election. The race to the White House seems to be one being debated on serious issues, mutual respect and what’s best for the American people… Or yelling about…

  • THE STARTING 11: Other Things MLS Refs are at Fault For

    It’s been the story of this young season so far. Barely a MLS match passes by without some level of officiating controversy. Bad result? Ref’s fault. Beer prices too high? Refs. Piss on your own leg at the urinal? Definitely refs. However, it’s not always the most obvious of things that this league’s officials have…

  • THE STARTING 11: Improvements To CONCACAF Qualifying

    For North America’s tall, goofy guy – yeah that’s us Canada – getting through the difficult maze of CONCA-wackiness that is World Cup Qualifying is no treat. We’ve had enough heartbreak to fill many a Sepp bladder but it’s not just our lack of success that’s tough to swallow but also the convoluted path teams…

  • THE STARTING 11: Rejected Kansas City Stadium Names

    When the good folks of Kansas decided that they just couldn’t get behind Lance Armstrong’s pro-syringe agenda, they ditched their ground’s name of Livestrong Sporting Park. For a while after their flirtation with performance enhanced stadia ended, it was just plain old Sporting Park. However, that just sounded too much like a place for wealthy…

  • THE STARTING 11: Other Things Giovinco May Have been Doing During His Goal Celebration

    Wheeeeeeeeeee! You can only assume this was the noise Sebastian Giovinco was making in his “little mouse” voice as he celebrated the opening goal vs. Red Bulls last week. And who could blame him? The wee Italian not only opened TFC’s 2016 account but continued where he left off from his record-breaking 2015 season. His…

  • THE STARTING 11: “X”-themed TFC Season Branding

    Roman numerals – IV out of V emperors agree, they are number I. Like innumerable film sequels, TFC’s seasons have usually been tagged with their respective 2000 year-old numeral but MLSE often takes it further. Remember “Season FiVe”? Et tu hilarious! Well with the tenth season upon us, the time is ripe for a great…
