El informe del sofa del Sur: El Salvador vs Canada
Well, we finally Fucked Honduras. That’s a start and a very satisfying one, but beyond any sense of mild vengeance, the important thing it gets us is 3 points. Mexico very much did their bit by beating both El Salvador on Friday and then Honduras earlier today, so as it stands Canada remain in a…

It’s the (VMP) final countdown!
Well, with the foul taste from how the season ended mellowing somewhat, with the depressing and hopefully bluffing vote of confidence in Greg Vanney given, and with all the off season releasing drafting and signing only a few weeks away, we should probably get going on all that end of season post mortem stuff really shouldn’t…

THE STARTING 11: Other Key Dates in MLS’ Offseason
A few days back, Major League Soccer released their calendar of key offseason events. Kudos really to the league for resisting the no doubt burning desire to call it the “OFF! Bug Spray Offseason Calendar” Glad to see some things stay sacred. Keeping fan interest through the post-season is always a challenge and MLS is…

THE STARTING 11: Prior TFC Playoff Highlights
“AT LAST!” was the slightly naval-gazing refrain from TFC brass after qualifying for their first ever playoff berth. Of course the full unedited version was “At last, we can raise ticket prices on you miserable, unwashed rubes!” But for that shoe to drop we had to wait a whole 12 hours after clinching. That’s beside…

Episode 112 – 15/11/04 #humanVictoryCigar
RAAAAAAGE! After stewing for the better part of a week, we unburden ourselves over the ass-whupping in Montreal. We dissect the corpse plenty, talk about what the playoffs look like elsewhere and postulate the future of management. In this episode, Duncan segues with a segway reference, Mark takes a try at Gregorian chanting and Kristin…

So then, about that whole playoffs thing.
It’s been a few days since TFC’s grand playoff adventure came crashing to such a miserable and predictable halt, this is clearly a bit late, but really it’s taken a while to rouse the energy needed to write this. The whole thing was just so dispiriting, it wasn’t ‘a hard fought game and well, one…

Years of mediocrity culminates to a one-off game at Montreal midweek. OHMYGODJUSTSTARTALREDY… At least Vic Rauter is there working the sidelines. Voice like butter. Like triple churned…
