THE STARTING 11: Improvements To CONCACAF Qualifying

For North America’s tall, goofy guy – yeah that’s us Canada – getting through the difficult maze of CONCA-wackiness that is World Cup Qualifying is no treat. We’ve had enough heartbreak to fill many a Sepp bladder but it’s not just our lack of success that’s tough to swallow but also the convoluted path teams like ours have to take for one of those sweet, sweet 3 1/2 berths this chunk of the...

The south Couch Report: Colorado Rapids vs Toronto FC

So then, the first 3 games ended with a 1-1-1 record, and after a week off now it’s on to Colorado.

Sunday March 20 – TSN2 – Children’s Mercy Park – 7pm ET  Can Toronto FC’s dream start to the season continue this evening in Kansas City?  Unlikely – but then again I’d have called you crazy two weeks ago if you said that TFC would be undefeated at the moment; including a 2-0 win over last year’s Supporter’s Shield winner, and a come from behind draw in the house that Villa built....

THE STARTING 11: Other Things Giovinco May Have been Doing During His Goal Celebration

Wheeeeeeeeeee! You can only assume this was the noise Sebastian Giovinco was making in his “little mouse” voice as he celebrated the opening goal vs. Red Bulls last week. And who could blame him? The wee Italian not only opened TFC’s 2016 account but continued where he left off from his record-breaking 2015 season. His wild “riding an out of control Vespa” celebration was the cause of much amusement...
