VMP Final Countdown. Number 21 – Steven Caldwell
Highest Ranking: 15 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 20.84 Kristin: 20 *Not his fault in the end as the brass failed to realize his limitations for the year. Last proper leader on the backline we’ve had and while we won’t miss the ‘oh dear gods make him stop waving his arms!’, miss the leadership.* Oh…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 22- Jay Chapman
Highest Ranking 14 Lowest ranking 26 Average Ranking 20.89 Tony: 24. Jay “Chappers” Chapman – the guy TFC zoinked away from the SuperDraft in the nick of time. Despite a mere 202 minutes with the big club in 2015, it does seem like if any of the young Canadians (after Jonathan Osorio) are going to break…

VMP Final Countdown. Number 23 – Nick Hagglund
Highest Ranking 11 Lowest ranking 27 Average Ranking 20.89 Kristin: 24. *My initial comment on the ranking was: ‘He’s never going to score a goal with these types of minutes. Never good enough to play much even with the backline desperation all season – not even when finally 100% healthy’, but as Nick is on…

VMP Final Countdown. Number 24 – Warren Creavalle
Highest Ranking: 17 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 21.42 Duncan: 17. 2015 really wasn’t fair to Warren Creavalle. He’s a decent MLS depth level player, ideally a midfielder, who’d had a reasonably steady couple of years at Houston under Dominic Kinnear, and he came into the season as first choice right back. Now he’s with Philadelphia…

Episode 115 – 15/11/26 #HesNotARightBack
Once again Mark’s hamstring keeps him out of the lineup, but the other 3 soldier on without him and with it being the anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death (shut up! it was when we recorded), there’s Queen songs and references sprinkled throughout like cocaine on a midget. They discuss Canada’s game against El Salvador, various…

VMP Final Countdown. Number 25 – Clement Simonin
Highest Ranking: 13 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average ranking: 22.79 Mark: 20. Toronto almost unearthed a gem in this one. Simonin was a first round draft pick out of NC State, but thankfully earned a proper footballing pedigree at Lorient. Showed plenty of early promise as a defender, but injuries kept the rookie out of the game…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 26 – Bright Dike
Highest Ranking: 17 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 24.21 Duncan: 26. Ah Bright Dike. I was relatively happy that TFC brought him back, that he didn’t get taken in the expansion draft. Could be a good depth option behind Altidore, or maybe even he could play in the middle of a 4-3-3, bringing his own…

VMP Final Countdown. Number 27 – Jordan Hamilton
Hello, and welcome to the first article in the Vocal Minority’s 2015 Final Countdown of all the players that played for TFC this year. Over the next couple of weeks or so, we’ll be counting down from 27 to 1, from Hamilton to Giovinco (why even bother to pretend, the real suspense is for who’s…

In this episode, Tony announces his qualification for the World Cup, Kristin reveals to stalking a member of…
