THE STARTING 11: Toronto FC Civic Holidays
For a good portion of us in the Toronto FC geographic area, today is a holiday. While generally known across the parts of Canada that participate as a “Civic Holiday” it is more specifically known in Ontario as Simcoe Day. This of course marks the day in the Dark Ages when a magical knight named Barry Simcoe sailed from Olde Englande and landed at Scarborough Bluffs where he slayed The Ice Monster and founded the Town of...
The South Couch Report: New England Revolution vs Toronto FC
Your regular South Couch updater Mark is absent so Duncan again takes the reins from his East Side Couch. Last time this happened was against new England as well, Mark’s clearly terrified of the the Gillette Stadium pitch.

Chicago Fire Acquire Gilberto Off Waivers: Welcome Back Gil, Maybe It’s Really Your Time To Shine!
It was inevitable wasn’t it? That Gilberto would come back to MLS but in no way would he be able to come back to Toronto FC – Core DP or no. And well, he’s baaaack (in pog form!). After rumblings the past few days that things had soured at Vasco de Gama – not to mention his lack of production of late – there came talk that he was looking to return to MLS. What we didn’t know was that Vasco had...
