THE STARTING 11: TFC Olympic Events
Now that TFC are good and stuff we can shift our attention to the really big story in sports right now – the Summer Olympics in Rio.

THE STARTING 11: Other Giovinco Goal Celebrations
He’s back! On the strength of 3 1/2 goals against D.C. United, TFC’s tiny talisman Sebastian Giovinco brought his 8 game goalless streak to a resounding end.

For one reason or another, the biggest of the big-name opposition Designated Players had the rude habit of skipping out on the Toronto fixture. Fast forward ten glorious years and this frustrating occurrence (aka ultimate troll on away-kit glory hunters) continues with the likes of Pirlo and Gerrard not stepping onto BMO Field’s...
