MLS Wins and Losses: Week 26
As always, this will be available as part of the vocal minority podcast later this week if you can’t be bothered with all this reading stuff. It was rivalry week again in MLS. Grrrrrrrr, though only half heartedly, with just 4 proper derby games being played this time around. After a midweek that saw both Chicago and Colorado win, we’ll start with Friday’s game the Cali Clasico, the amazing unstoppable world beating...
South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal
The magic of the Ex. What used to be a cultural festival and a major part of any calendar is just an endless advertising festival. Good thing I can escape it and find refuge in BMO Field where the ball is brought to me by a shipping company, the bench is brought to me by a law firm and starting XI is brought to me by rum. *sigh* Its like the usual circus has bled out into the parking lot. (note : save this space for perfect...
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Playoffs, Pride and the Polar Express
Ooh it’s Rivalry Week in MLS and of course that means Toronto FC take on the Montreal Impact (Sat. Aug 29, 4pm, BMO Field, TSN) in the second of their three meetings this year. Games between TFC and the Impact are always highly charged affairs and with playoff hopes and potentially jobs on the line (more Klopas than Vanney, I’m not THAT cynical, really), not to mention the ex-Red theme in full effect with Dominic Oduro...
South Couch Report – Toronto v Orlando
Well well well, look who’s on the bench. Much to my surprise (yay!) is Jozy Altidore and (whuh?) Joe Bendik. One of these makes complete sense, and the other is Joe Bendik. He’s been hung out to dry over the last few games, and surely he can’t be held responsible? But what do I know. I am not the gaffer (but… nevermind). On to the match : 14’ – Larin makes a run, gets into the box, see Kantari and turns around....
Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC: Statement game for Vanney, TFC.
9 Wins, 6 ties and 9 defeats, 33 points and sitting comfortably in a playoff place with games in hand. Such was TFC’s position last season after 24 games, and in ‘a results based business’ as Tim Bezbatchenko said and faithful reporters dutifully reported and argued, that was more than reason enough for Ryan Nelsen to be fired. Going into the 24th game of this season, TFC have 9 wins, 4 ties and 10 defeats, for 31...
MLS Wins and Losses: Week 24
Yeah, this is very late, I’m forgetful, so maybe you’ve already listened to this in this week’s podcast, if not, what the hell are you waiting for. Anyway, it’s all old news now, but at the very least scroll down for the Kaka tantrum. Well the theme for this year’s Voyageurs Cup is set. We’ve had the surrender monkeys, abandoned games, toronto referees and just straight up losing to the worst team...
