THE STARTING 11: Shades of Greg Vanney Pink
You either love him or you loathe him. Actually no. Greg Vanney, as of yet non-embattled TFC head coach, rarely elicits that kind of emotion around these parts. Not good enough to be showered with praise; not bad enough to warrant calls for his dismissal. He’s just kind of there… and that’s ok for now.…

South Barstool Report : New York Red Bulls v Toronto
Welcome to the annual #VMPissUp as we are #DrinkingWithKristin in an unnamed pub somewhere in hot and humid Toronto. Joined by such luminaries as @grawsee, @bigwulliestyle and @redwineroz for this event, the drinks were cold and the football was lacklustre… unless you were pulling for the opposition, in which case, it was glorious. Celebrating VMP…

Toronto FC vs NY Red Bulls: When Is It Time To Start Worrying?
Toronto are coming off a difficult loss, highlighted by a poor defensive effort that is becoming all too familiar, coupled with a lack of finish and creativity. This has resulted in a Toronto FC that over the past few weeks have been doing their best to emulate Dickens. Of late there’s been very little of…

THE STARTING 11: Reasons Why We Appreciated the Kansas City Wizards
A long time ago in a world of Clashes, Burns and even the odd Fusion, existed a soccer team named the Kansas City Wizards. Even better than that, they were originally just the Kansas City Wiz! Wheeeee marketing boffins! This fabled team with their rainbow kits, surly Serbs and cheeky Scots toured the U.S.A. in…

South Traffic Report : Toronto v Kansas City
Yeah it’s late. You see, somebody was trying to actually get to the game on time. They left early, gave themselves, what they thought was, plenty of time to get down to the stadium. Who knew that one set of road closures would have screwed up everything. At 3:00 I had exited the Gardiner and…

Toronto FC vs Sporting KC: Will TFC Need Super Seba To Once Again Save The Day?
Well Wednesday night was fun! Seriously if you didn’t watch or attend then you really missed one of those rare joyous moments that we as TFC fans get to experience approximately once a year. But it’s been a long time since I was at BMO Field and experienced the entire crowd erupting into…

It’s Bezness time: Creavalle out, Herculez Gomez in!
Have you been looking on with envy at all the other MLS clubs recently as they’ve added exciting new players? Been trying to make yourself feel better by forcing yourself to think ‘we did our big business at the start of the season, we’ve had an entire half season of our guys already! and hey…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Orlando
It’s a beautiful day for footy. Better than the last 5 matches I’ve been to anyways. Toronto is coming off a confusing sloppy whopping from Boston Minutemen or whatever they’re called. Doesn’t matter. Orlando somehow beat Columbus over the weekend. You know what, I don’t care about the before right now. I’m in my seats,…
Work in progress…
