THE STARTING 11: Giovinco-esque nicknames for other Toronto FC players
By now you’ve heard it hundreds of times – “The Atomic Ant”. That is of course the nickname long bestowed upon TFC’s minute midfielder/odd tattoo enthusiast Sebastian Giovinco. Based on an obscure television cartoon, the moniker is meant to illustrate how The Reds’ 5’5″ superstar overcomes his minute stature to perform tasks far beyond his frame. But what of Giovinco’s new...
THE STARTING 11: Differences if Toronto FC camp was an actual camp
Toronto FC has often been accused of being a country club, but what about a summer camp?

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...
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. OK, I may be exaggerating – slightly – but talk to me in a couple of years when Las Vegas is on the clock.
