FC Dallas 3:2 Toronto FC. Same Tactics, Same Problems, Same Results.
So then. You’re on a 3 game losing streak, playing away from home, against a team with a point to prove after they just got hammered last week, with a very makeshift defence. Do you maybe try and play it safe to start the game, take the sting out of the energy the opposition starts…

South Couch Report : Dallas v Toronto
Hi. I’m Mark Hinkley. If you listen to the podcast (which you do, of course) you will know that tonight Toronto FC is playing FC Dallas. My FC Dallas. First it was a dig from Duncan to raise my ire toward FC Dallas, I have since embraced them. They’re mine. Not yours. You might be…

Toronto FC v FC Dallas: Will TFC Falter In Frisco?
After weeks – well, two weeks – of waiting, Toronto FC are finally back in action this weekend. Can I say again how much bye weeks are the devil? Even though they mean less games that TFC have to play on the road to start this season, but this stop and start nonsense is…

New seats, fancy suites, cost overruns, delays and quiet talk about the Argos – those were the topics of the day on Friday when current Toronto mayor John Tory was given a photo op tour of BMO Field along with (still) MLSE CEO Tim Leiweke and Bob Hunter in attendance to say all the right…

THE STARTING 11: Examples of TFC Putting Someone In The Wrong Role
Remember that time that Toronto FC “won the off-season” by signing some big name DP’s and expensive European veterans? Remember that time they also failed to sign a single fullback?

Early yesterday morning the word went out on Twitter that this year’s SSH tickets were being delivered – which for me means the season has actually begun. I know, I know, they’ve played four games; but if you haven’t seen your team live for months and don’t have tickets in front of you, then it…
