VMP 2016 Final Countdown #8: Jonathan Osorio
Mark: 8 – One. Touch. Legend. Osorio had a mid-season epiphany that seemed to be documented by the Vocal Minority. Earlier on in the season, he had a habit of making several touches before attempting to shoot the ball. Sometimes, it was having to beat EVERYONE before attempting the shot. Others, it was needing to settle the ball before having a go. His confidence to “pull the trigger”, be it shoot or pass, was often...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 5 – Jonathan Osorio
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 16 Average Ranking: 5.05 Duncan: 6.It was another good year for Jonathan Osorio, though one where in various ways he didn’t quite seem to easily fit into things. The main way was with Canada where he all of a sudden found himself on the outs with Benito Floro, left out of all the squads towards the end of the year with players like Kyle Bekker ahead of him. Kyle Bekker! At least his TFC...
Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union: Is This TFC’s Day To Make Some History?
Today could be the day. If everything goes according to Hoyle, Toronto FC could clinch their first ever playoff spot this afternoon (5pm ET, BMO Field, TSN) when they face the Philadelphia Union.

So if we’re all still watching (and hoping) in a jaded manner, well we’ve got reasons. This...
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. Last time this happened was against new England as well, Mark’s clearly terrified of the the Gillette Stadium pitch. Injuries, suspensions and 11 goals conceded in our last 3 away games, that’s the backdrop here, what exactly will Greg Vanney do with it. Will we see the 3-5-2 given another run out or will it be time...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal
Well that was a bit of a letdown last week. Thought Toronto had them, but alas, like an elbow to the back of the neck, they went down. Now we’re playing the pathetically abysmal Montreal Impa… whuh? 17 pts you say? 5-5-2? SINCE F’ING WHEN?!!?! Full disclosure : I don’t care about Montreal win-or-lose, I think Piatti is fun and lethal, I think their defense is atrocious and I am cheering on that loveable triumvirate of Jack,...
