THE STARTING 11: Occasions For Fireworks At BMO Field
Is there a stadium in all of football that enjoys more useless pyrotechnic displays than BMO Field? Daytime? Sure! Anthems finished? Go to town! In the grand scheme of TFC/BMO Field ills this ranks pretty low but it was during the post-match of TFC’s Voyageurs Cup elimination last week where the ridiculousness of it all…

The South Couch Report: New England Revolution vs Toronto FC
Your regular South Couch updater Mark is absent so Duncan again takes the reins from his East Side Couch: Alright then, that glow from those 2 wins wore off pretty quickly didn’t it?

Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: This won’t end well.
When is a win a loss? When it’s Toronto FC of course. After not going for it in the first leg of their Voyageurs Cup tilt against the Montreal Impact last week, TFC put out a strong team on Wednesday night that brought them close to advancing; close but not close enough. While an impressive…

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 10
As always, if you want this without all these words and links and stuff, and with interruptions and all the quotes in a Yorkshire accent, the Vocal Minority Podcast is the place for you, this week’s episode should be up tonight before Wednesday’s game.

MASCOT HYSTERIA: Sammy the Shrimp v Xolo Mayor
Motherfluffer – it’s time for another round of Mascot Hysteria! After a few weeks hopping riot over international football mascotry, Virginia’s raging Anti-Newzealandite and Richmond Kickers booster Kickeroo has been sent outback.
