THE STARTING 11: Unusual CBA Demands From The MLS Players Union
“Strike! Strike! Strike!” No, not the fruitless begging pleas of Toronto FC supporters towards their forwards, but the possible chant from an MLS Players Union picket line. It’s true foot and ball fans of the Northern Americas, the start of the 2015 MLS season could very well be delayed by a work stoppage! While the…

Toronto FC 2:1 Costa Rica U23. 2 really nice goals, hopefully no injuries.
So, that’s the final pre season game in the bag, and with a win, 2 goals and 5th place sewn up. Those things are all in one way or another results, probably the most meaningless bits of info we can get from pre season, but there were definitely some things worth reporting on here as…

Backup-tastic. TFC to test out their depth against New York Red Bulls.
After now having been able to sorta kinda more or less watch our glorious Reds in action twice, I’m struggling to think of something really nice to say, as the play has seemed as disjointed as the streams have been. It looks like football, you can see what they’re trying to do, but it’s just…

THE STARTING 11: TFC Oscars Introductions
What is the only thing longer than sitting through the next TFC Five-Year Plan? The Academy Awards ceremony! The annual homage to Hollywood’s finest (except the shameful shunning of Scott Baio’s 1982 opus Zapped!) usually runs for a solid thirty hours, testing the most dedicated viewer. A bit like 2014 at BMO Field. Much of…
