TFC Player Final Countdown: 2016 Edition

Well sports fans another Toronto FC season has come to an end, and wow, what a crazy season!  It feels rather odd to have TFC’s off season begin in December, and well into December at that.  Usually we’ve been grumbling into our cups since sometime in October, and staring off into the abyss that is three months of off season.  But not this year!  You know, cause we went to the final – look I know a number of you are...

In a week of good vibes in TFC Land we don’t want to dwell on the somewhat negative effect the MLS Cup ticket situation had on many fans. It sucked for some and the league should know better. A funny aside of the episode however was TFC staff’s explanation that they didn’t want to discuss the Cup Final before The Reds qualified as not to jinx it! Who knew MLSE believed in the dark arts?! It makes us wonder, what...

THE STARTING 11: TFC Lawn Products

Congrats to the Redblacks – whatever one of those is – now get off our lawn! Yes the mulch-munching menace that is the CFL’s Grey Cup has come and gone from Canada’s National Soccer Stadium and leaves only the pitch condition fears of TFC supporters in its wake. This will be the biggest test so far for the genuinely laudable job BMO Field’s grounds crew has performed so far in 2016 but they do have some...
