Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew SC: Time For A True Test
Now that everyone has settled down after last weekend’s surprise win over the Whitecaps it’s time to turn our attentions to a tougher test and look ahead to the match against our Eastern Conference rivals, the new (new name, new badge, new mascot!) Columbus Crew SC. I’m delighted that TFC managed a decisive win last week – especially after that first half of awfulness – but this game in Columbus is no...
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.

Even better, lets start that road trip in...
Sponsors and armbands and mascots? Yes, they matter.
For those of you who enjoy (genuinely, ironically, snarkily, however you like) the more esoteric sideshow attraction aspects of football, the side dishes and condiments to the fat steak of the actual game itself, it’s been a fantastic week or so to follow TFC, practically headspinning as the hits have just kept on coming. Let’s re-cap. Deep breath, here we go. New kit leak: It’s as simple as one could ever reasonably...
Captain America. TFC give armband to Michael Bradley
We all knew this was coming. Michael Bradley seemed like the obvious successor to Steven Caldwell as club captain, as much due to his pricetag and reputation as to his (inconsistently last year) inspirational play on the pitch.
