Greg Vanney – Master tactician?
Before the Vancouver game, there were 4 things I was mainly going to be looking at as harbingers of good or bad things to come, Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley, Greg Vanney’s tactics and the Caldwell/Perquis partnership. It was a mixed bag for sure, but I’d say the good outweighed the bad. As with anything, it’s early, one game is way too short of a time to come to any kind of definitive judgement. My thoughts on...
THE STARTING 11: Surprising Clauses In The New MLS CBA
When it was all said and done, the new collective bargaining agreement negotiation was a lot like Mista. Lots of talk about its impact; a long-drawn out process filled with frustration; no strikes to be seen.

They’re Baaaack!! Toronto FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps – Let The Games Begin!
It’s been a long cold winter and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am more than ready to once again watch Toronto FC every week. Amazing how long four months feels without your team to watch. It is a relief to be through with all of the off season madness and just have a game to look forward to. And what better way to start the season than a seven game road trip? Even better, lets start that road trip in...
