Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union: Is This TFC’s Day To Make Some History?

Today could be the day.  If everything goes according to Hoyle, Toronto FC could clinch their first ever playoff spot this afternoon (5pm ET, BMO Field, TSN) when they face the Philadelphia Union.  TFC fans can be forgiven for being sceptical after close to nine years of futility and having the rug pulled out from underneath us.  So if we’re all still watching (and hoping) in a jaded manner, well we’ve got reasons.

THE STARTING 11: Other “Welcome” Signs Banned at BMO Field

For the most part, this little corner of the TFC Internet carnival is a place for the daft, inane and Collin Samuel. No one is coming to The Starting 11 for tactical breakdowns.
