VMP Final Countdown. Number 25 – Clement Simonin
Highest Ranking: 13 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average ranking: 22.79 Mark: 20. Toronto almost unearthed a gem in this one. Simonin was a first round draft pick out of NC State, but thankfully earned a proper footballing pedigree at Lorient.

VMP Final Countdown: Number 26 – Bright Dike
Highest Ranking: 17 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 24.21 Duncan: 26. Ah Bright Dike. I was relatively happy that TFC brought him back, that he didn’t get taken in the expansion draft.

Never mind the playoffs, 2nd place! And beating a good team! With smart tactics no less!
So then. Playoffs achieved. History made. Mission Accomplished. It’s a weird feeling really, I’m finding it hard to get too excited about this, even last night I couldn’t really get in on the general giddiness, for a couple of reasons really. First up, I’ve been very critical of TFC in many ways, and there are…

When the going gets tough: How MLS playoff teams do against other playoff teams.
So if you’ve in any way been reading or listening to TFC based media in the last few months, or hell, just been watching games and coming to your own conclusions, you’ll have come across what’s rapidly becoming a cliche: TFC can beat the crap teams, but are hopeless when it comes to beating good…
