THE STARTING 11: Differences Between Jozy Altidore and Jermain Defoe’s Press Conferences
Has it really only been a year? We’ve had so many good times over the past twelve months that time has just flown by! Like that time in Seattle! Remember that? And… that other thing. The one with the thing. Good times. I try not to look backwards too often but this past Friday’s Jozy Altidore introduction couldn’t help but jog the memory to a year ago and the glamourous Jermain Defoe presser. The two were...
SuperDaft: Observations From The 1st Round
MLS SuperDraft. About as “super” as Aquaman on land. While my learned colleagues here at The Vocal Minority were busy doing “research” and “serious writing” regarding Toronto FC’s dealings, I went on assignment on the sidelines. When you troll the spaces in between the picks, you find the weird and wonderful “other stuff” that happens which makes this day so “super”....
THE STARTING 11: Re-branding ideas for the lower MLS SuperDraft rounds
At last count, MLS’ ever-expanding tally of clubs will be selecting draft eligible players over thirty-something rounds of the SuperDraft.

Back to the present though and while MLS loves to trump their draft as “Super” we all know that only the top few picks of the first round are worthy of the...
THE STARTING 11: Not Entirely Unbelievable 2015 TFC Headline Predictions
Happy New Year Vocal Minorities! It’s exciting to be back for another year and to bust out the very first Starting 11 of 2015. There’s a dramatic 12 months ahead what with TFC’s 58-match road trip to start the season; the ceremonial gridiron painting as we ready for the Argos in 2016; the Vanney/Bezbatchenko sacking sometime in… Let’s say July; and of course… almost making the playoffs! Wheeeee! Of course...
Now That’s What I Call Vocal Minority Podcast: Volume 2
Our luxurious break from recording continues for another week, but instead, here’s the second volume of our year end best of series. Starting with the thirdy awards covering the first chunk of the season and continuing it’s giddy path through until the end of August, with Ryan Nelsen’s TFC set to stumble their way into the playoffs, all is surely good. British accents, heritage nights, the World Cup, Mitsou, and...
THE STARTING 11: Most Returned Toronto FC Inspired Christmas Gifts
Sorry fans but that most holy of holy days, Boxing Day, has come and gone. A big part of celebrating the day when Jesus beat “Smokin'” Joe Frazier for the Heavyweight Title, (My history may be shaky. I drank a lot of egg nog. Sue me.), is collecting your gift receipts and returning those unwanted presents. While TFC supporters may be suckers for just about any kitschy item with the Reds’ badge on it, even we have...
