THE STARTING 11: Occasions For Fireworks At BMO Field

Is there a stadium in all of football that enjoys more useless pyrotechnic displays than BMO Field? Daytime? Sure! Anthems finished? Go to town! In the grand scheme of TFC/BMO Field ills this ranks pretty low but it was during the post-match of TFC’s Voyageurs Cup elimination last week where the ridiculousness of it all came to a head. While TFC did win the match 3-2, they had just been knocked out of yet another tournament and...

Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: This won’t end well.

When is a win a loss?  When it’s Toronto FC of course.  After not going for it in the first leg of their Voyageurs Cup tilt against the Montreal Impact last week, TFC put out a strong team on Wednesday night that brought them close to advancing; close but not close enough.  While an impressive performance from Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco, this wasn’t the dominating performance that was hoped for against a weaker...

Toronto FC vs Houston Dynamo: After Six Long Months TFC Finally Return Home

Finally!  Finally we get to head down to BMO Field – sorry, the newly renovated, improved, shiny, tunnel club having BMO Field – to watch our Reds.  After more than six months, a silly amount of drafts, player signings, player injuries and eight games on the road we finally get to watch our Toronto FC play in front of us.  It’s a bit surreal, no?  But it is finally here – what feels like the real start to the...
