THE STARTING 11: TFC Goalkeeping Solutions
Goalkeepers. Rarely has Toronto FC had one that didn’t depart in odd or controversial circumstances. One wept while only wearing the tiniest of towels. After this season came to a close, most of us expected one of Joe Bendik or Chris Konopka to be jettisoned. So TFC scrapped them both. Ah. Ok then! The “braintrust”…

VMP FInal Countdown: Number 7 – Chris Konopka
Highest Ranking: 1 Lowest ranking: 15 Average Ranking: 8.63 Duncan: 10. Ah, TFC. Can’t avoid a goalie controversy to save their lives.

Ch-Ch-Changes! Toronto FC Release Konopka, Bendik, Jackson and Apparicio
And so it begins. After yesterday’s re-signing of Justin Morrow, Toronto FC wasted little time in releasing four players and exercising contract options to thirteen others.

Toronto FC vs DC United: TFC Face A Tough Test Against A Top Team
What can kill a nice run of form and dampen supporter spirits? Why a road game against the best team in the league missing multiple key players! Whee! It’s one of those “do we have to play this game now?”, kind of situations. Normally I’d actually look forward to TFC taking on DC United (7pm…

Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union: Will TFC Get Up To No Good?
Winning streak! Well, they won – that’s the start of a streak, right? Toronto FC are heading into west Philadelphia (OK Chester) to do some chillin’ out, maxin’ – maybe even relaxin’ all cool – shooting some footballs and hopefully not getting schooled by a couple of guys from the neighbourhood. Only two more…
