Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC: With the Lions in Freefall, Can TFC Take Advantage?

Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC ~ 8pm ET ~ Orlando City Stadium ~ TSN4 The last time Toronto and Orlando met, I wrote this – TFC did indeed beat the Lions but their season hasn’t looked much brighter in the intervening two months.  There was the win over the Union, and a couple of not so thrilling draws (yes they got a point, but you watched how they got them, right?), and of course the losses.  The bright spot in the past...

Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC: Is This The Start of TFC’s Climb Out of The Basement?

Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC ~ 8pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN1/3/4/5 Is it panic time?  If not now then when?  Depending on what happens in the next few games will tell us when (if) that time comes – the season isn’t out of reach yet, but if Toronto can’t put forth some positive results soon, then that panic button will start to look awfully appealing. However, none of that will matter if TFC can put the last two results...

Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC: TFC Are Riding High, Can They Go Unbeaten On This Road Trip?

Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC ~ 730pm ET ~ Citrus Bowl ~ TSN4 Say what? They won again? If you didn’t get a chance to watch Saturday’s game then you missed one of TFC’s best games this year when they got a dominant – if surprising – win over the Union.  Lots of goals, multiple injured players returning to the lineup, Jozy & Seba both scoring and helping – it’s hard to find much to complain...

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” obviously has alternative (read: over-expensive) plans for the position but if that falls through, here...
