Greg Vanney – Master tactician?
Before the Vancouver game, there were 4 things I was mainly going to be looking at as harbingers of good or bad things to come, Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley, Greg Vanney’s tactics and the Caldwell/Perquis partnership. It was a mixed bag for sure, but I’d say the good outweighed the bad. As with anything, it’s…

They’re Baaaack!! Toronto FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps – Let The Games Begin!
It’s been a long cold winter and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am more than ready to once again watch Toronto FC every week. Amazing how long four months feels without your team to watch. It is a relief to be through with all of the off season madness and…

Up and Atom! Reds “unveil” Giovinco
Well that was an odd little presser wasn’t it? It wasn’t the dog and pony show of the Jermain Defoe/Michael Bradley event a year ago. It wasn’t the “we gotta clear the room in five minutes for the maid” production they put on for Jozy Altidore a week ago. Actually it wasn’t like many player…

THE STARTING 11: Other new buzzwords used during the TFC “vision” meeting
Late last week, journalists were invited to TFC’s Downsview training facility to be regaled with the current club management’s vision for the future. We aren’t sure if dictionaries were handed out at the door but a lot of really, really big smart-guy words were thrown around to explain away The Reds “just missing out” (My…

Forget the results, look at the vision!
As we all know, yesterday was when Toronto FC outlined it’s ‘vision’ to select media. As a non invitee, I had no choice but to first make fun, (this is practically the Vocal Minority’s hippocratic oath: – ‘First, make fun.’) then sit and wait for the tweets and articles from the poor mopes who’d had…
