Toronto FC vs Real Salt Lake: Not The South Couch Report
*I know that usually one of the VMP folk post a minute by minute (more or less), however this week you’ve got my ramblings instead.* The first weekend in the 2017 MLS season has come and gone, and being the first spate of games there’s not really a lot to takeaway – teams are obviously still rusty, new teammates are still adjusting to more established groups of players (some to the league itself) and any number of...
2017 MLS & TFC Preview: New Teams, New Players, New Season! Will Toronto FC Go All The Way This Year?
The 2017 season is upon us!

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #2: Sebastian Giovinco
Duncan: 2 – Didn’t really get a lot of support for various tactical reasons through the long away trip and the mid summer patch where everyone else was injured but generally still kept playing well, scoring goals and doing his Seba things.
