  • Eastern Conference Preview, predictions.

    My Western Conference preview can be found here if you’re into all that hipster tree hugging and sunshine stuff. Now time to turn our attention to the East. It’s weird, before I put too much thought into it, I naturally thought, the west is way better, but there were a few teams that I don’t…

  • The Deal Is Done! MLS Players Union and MLS Agree To A Deal

    Put away those placards, stop looking up slogans to chant and cease making yourself dizzy by walking around and around in a circle; there will be no strike by MLS players this year!  Barely an hour after I posted this word started to filter out all over twitter that a deal had been struck between the…

    Episode 76 – 15/03/05 #YcantUBhard

    The gang is all back, predicting league outcomes, forwards outlook, retirement of a “legend” and another insane round of “Would You Rather” (we’re sorry and you’re welcome). In this episode, Kristin admits to fear of most of the other panelists, Mark gushes for a scrumpy ear worm, Duncan pre-calls out a certain head coach, and…

  • Not Necessarily the Eastern Conference: Your Guide to Some-Things MLS

    West may be best for baby (We saw it on Wikipedia) but the East is where it’s at yo! That’s right, hot off the heels of our highly factualish and influentialesque MLS Western Conference preview, we shift focus to the continent’s eastern seaboard… also Columbus. Whatevs – we’re inclusive. Everyone on this continent knows east…

  • Strike? Will The Players Be Walking The Picket Line Or Kicking A Ball In Two Days?

    So close and yet so far.  The 2015 MLS season is supposed to start on Friday and yet, with each passing minute the probability of that happening seems to get further away.  Will the season start on time? The collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players union ended at the conclusion of the…

  • THE STARTING 11: Unusual CBA Demands From The MLS Players Union

    “Strike! Strike! Strike!” No, not the fruitless begging pleas of Toronto FC supporters towards their forwards, but the possible chant from an MLS Players Union picket line. It’s true foot and ball fans of the Northern Americas, the start of the 2015 MLS season could very well be delayed by a work stoppage! While the…

  • Toronto FC 2:1 Costa Rica U23. 2 really nice goals, hopefully no injuries.

    So, that’s the final pre season game in the bag, and with a win, 2 goals and 5th place sewn up.  Those things are all in one way or another results, probably the most meaningless bits of info we can get from pre season, but there were definitely some things worth reporting on here as…

  • Toronto FC Kit And Sponsor Is (Finally) Official

    It’s officially here – the new, less maple leaf strewn, still BMO sponsored Toronto FC kit is available for viewing (and of course purchasing).  As is usual with things like this in MLS and TFC, the official release of the Toronto’s 2015 kit was little surprise to most, thanks to previous leaks and teases in…

  • Toronto FC vs Costa Rica u23: The fight for fifth

    One week to go before the season theoretically begins and there’s one last game for TFC to finish off the IMG tournament. After stumbling through the group stage and finishing in 3rd place, behind the Red Bulls and USL’s Oklahoma City Energy FC, they now play off for 5th overall against the 3rd place finisher…
