Shivering with Ant……..icipation. Toronto FC kick off pre season against Oklahoma City Energy FC
Finally here it is. Pre season matches, or rather pre season matches that aren’t against high school teams and that we can actually watch. What with the trading being taken care of early and nary an exotic trialist rumour to keep us excited over those last couple of weeks or so, the wait for the…

Captain America. TFC give armband to Michael Bradley
We all knew this was coming.
