VMP 2016 Final Countdown #14: Armando Cooper
Kristin: 12 – While maddening at times, the pros outweigh the cons to his presence on the pitch. Often hot-tempered (but only one yellow card) and loves that extra touch, but for the most part they’re better with him on the pitch. Armando Cooper was part of the summer injection of talent (along with Tosaint…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #15: Alex Bono
Kristin: 17 – TFC’s big SuperDraft grab from 2015 – wanders more than I’d like, but settled in and did a good job of subbing in for Irwin. Not a No. 1 keeper yet; but the potential is there. From TFCII to the big leagues in the blink of an eye! That’s basically what happened…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #17 – Jordan Hamilton
Kristin: 21 – Showed well in the summer when the team was struck by injury, still waiting for his breakout moment. Wow I put Jordan at 21? Actually I’m good with that – though I could have easily put him a bit higher, his ranking is less on his quality than on his playing time.…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #18: Jay Chapman
Duncan: 14 – Showed glimpses of talent, then crucially got a long run of games and once he seemed settled in and believed that he belonged there he looked very very good indeed. It’d be a gamble to try him as the creative midfielder TFC need rather than bringing someone else in, but I wouldn’t be…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #21: Ashtone Morgan
Kristin: 16 – The nasty leftback that always seems to get left back. Huge fan, think his conversion to winger can’t come soon enough. I’ve been a fan of Ashtone Morgan since his academy days and was thrilled when he joined the first team back in 2011. In the early years he saw a fair…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #23: Mark Bloom
Kristin: 23 – Poor, I mean middle class Mark Bloom. Such a nice boy, but hard to remember anything else about him. Happy to see him going home to Atlanta. Oh Mark Bloom, your time at Toronto FC just never really clicked did it? In just over three seasons (after being scooped up from…

TFC Player Final Countdown: 2016 Edition
Well sports fans another Toronto FC season has come to an end, and wow, what a crazy season! It feels rather odd to have TFC’s off season begin in December, and well into December at that. Usually we’ve been grumbling into our cups since sometime in October, and staring off into the abyss that is…

Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 – Aaaahhhhhh!!!
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ 7pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN Anxiety level: High That’s it really – the excitement, the nerves, the ANXIETY! But at the same time I’m strangely relaxed – tonight’s game (historic, one of the games we’ve longed for the past 10 seasons, etc) is much more than…
