  • Toronto FC vs New York City FC: The Big Smoke Takes On The Big Apple

    Wednesday, May 18th ~ BMO Field ~ 7pm ET ~ TSN4 Saturday was fun eh?  Not exactly what anyone had hoped for, or expected of TFC’s second home game.  However, the team will have had little time to dwell on past mistakes with two more games this week against two of their Eastern Conference rivals.…

  • THE STARTING 11: New TFC Narratives

    It goes like this: You, the supporter, feel a certain way about a certain aspect of TFCdom. This is most often followed by a member of the local established TFC media telling you how wrong you are and that you are a maroon with only a rube-like knowledge of the sport. In turn, this is…

  • Toronto FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps: Centre of the Universe Takes on The Sea To Sky Highways

    Saturday May 14 ~ BMO Field ~ 7:30pm ET ~ TSN4 What better way to celebrate Danny Dichio Day (Triple D, ooh) than to take on those pests from the west coached by (still my favourite) former Red – and good friend of Dichio – Carl Robinson.  Yes before the game starts there will be…

  • THE STARTING 11: Things the BMO Field Canopy Unsuccessfully Repels

    Never has so much been said about so little a roof. So little is the roof in question that it’s not even a roof at all but a canopy. The South Stand architectural wonder does a nice job on some levels including holding in the crowd noise. However, in science there are just some things…

  • Toronto FC vs FC Dallas: Home Sweet Home Opener

    May 7th ~ 7:30pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN4 This is it, the moment that everyone’s been waiting for, our 2016 home opener.  It’s been a very long time coming hasn’t it? I don’t just mean the past two months, I’m talking about the past two years; two years of crazy schedules, two years…

  • THE STARTING 11: Rejected 2016 BMO Field Foods

    The unveiling of the new, insanely priced BMO Field menu has become something of an annual tradition. We used to mock back in the day when TFC would try to cook up ethnic mash-ups in attempt to appease as many of us foreign-soccer-types but it’s all changed now. Cantonese Deep Fried Jamaican Patty Scotch Egg…

  • Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers: If TFC Falls In Portland, Does It Make A Difference?

    May 1 ~ 4pmET ~ Providence Park ~ TSN4 To paraphrase REM: ‘It’s the end of the road as we know it, and TFC feels fine…’  Perhaps a bit of an overstatement, but that’s been the prevailing message from the team – things are good, they’re pleased with Toronto’s performance during this seemingly endless road…

  • THE STARTING 11: Alternative TFC Heritage Series Matches

    What do you give the fan that has everything? Let me re-phrase that. What do you give fans when you’re a club that has nothing? Why 10 Years of “memorable moments” that’s what! To celebrate a decade of excellence in sportertainment, TFC have decided to add “Heritage” promotions to a series of matches this season.…

  • Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Tic-Tac…You Know The Rest – Time For Some Redemption

    April 23 ~ 4pmET ~ TSN4 ~ Stade Saputo Six games in, eight points, lowest goals allowed and still playing on the road – who’d of thought that we’d be in this place?   These are heady times folks!  Seriously, if you’re not enjoying what our Reds are doing at the moment well then I…

  • THE STARTING 11: TFC Presidential Election Campaign Slogans

    After spending a weekend in Washington D.C. it would be hard for TFC not to notice the biggest story in the American capital – the looming presidential election. The race to the White House seems to be one being debated on serious issues, mutual respect and what’s best for the American people… Or yelling about…
