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 Pizzas have made way for more elite Tunnel Club-esque fare which could be why these ideas were left in the kitchen…...
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.

Stifling global football superstar Mista and not letting him...
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.
