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...
