  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 18 – Armando Cooper

    Highest: 13 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 18.04 Mark: 19 – The loan that turned into a stay, and we were still confused by it all.  Armando Cooper signed on at the conclusion of last year’s playoffs, and stuck around for the full ride.  In a word : interesting. Interesting because he started 11 games, but had…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 19 – Jay Chapman

    Highest: 13 Lowest: 23 Average ranking: 18.09 Duncan: 18 – When thinking about the 2017 season, there are very few things that make me kind of sad. Jay Chapman is one of them.  There was such promise shown in 2016 when he finally got what few of TFC’s lauded academy projects get, consistent playing time.…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 20 – Clint Irwin

    Highest: 10 Lowest: 24 Average ranking: 19.3 Mark: 16 – The unfortunate situation with our goalkeepers, is that both of them, at the beginning of the season, were largely interchangeable, but I would still favour Irwin as the #1.  He had tons of experience under his belt, and could learn the kid a thing or two…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 21 – Jordan Hamilton

    Highest: 16 Lowest: 24 Average ranking: 20.29 Tony: 20 – A push at best for Scarborough’s own. Joins the other academy grads in having a neutral season at best. We still await that breakout  year and hope it comes sooner than later despite the crowded talent pool up top. Ok, ok. Maybe NEXT season will be…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 22 – Ashtone Morgan

    Highest: 1 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 20.86 Duncan: 23 – Ah Ashtone Morgan. I want him to play and do well and be good, I really do, and you’d think wingback in a 5-3-2 would be ideal for his strength (singular, it’s not defence particularly, and it wouldn’t be as a midfielder, but as the…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 23 – Jason Hernandez

    Highest: 19 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 22.05 Mark: 23 – The TL;DR is “he did what was expected of him”. When Hernandez arrived in the very early season, he was signed as a free agent after a two-season spell at NYCFC, with the role of journeyman substitute defender, firmly his for the taking. He knew he…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 24 – Tsubasa Endoh

    Highest: 17 Lowest: 27 Average ranking: 23.33 Tony: 24 – 2017 seemed like a step backwards for the affable Japanese forward.  His limited playing time in 2016 became more so,  Perhaps it was TFC’s depth or perhaps we’ve seen his peak. The Endoh is nigh. It’s hard not to have a soft spot for Tsubasa Endoh.…

  • Toronto FC 2018 Schedule Released: What Have The MLS Scheduling Gods Come Up With This Year?

    Start booking those days off and planning those road trips – the 2018 MLS Schedule is here!  We already knew that Toronto FC kick their year off with two Concacaf Champions League games against the (*YAWN*) Colorado Rapids in February, and that the home opener is against the Austin Columbus Crew on March 3rd, and…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 25 – Oyvind Alseth

    Highest: 21 Lowest: 26 Average ranking: 24.71 Tony: 26 – One of the Too 10 Norwegians in TFC history. Fact. There really is no fun (nor interest) in an in-depth review of Oyvind Alseth. It was so exciting to finally have a Norweege on TFC but then, much like a Norwegian comedy club, applause was very…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 26 – Ben Spencer

    Highest: 22 Lowest: 27 Average ranking: 24.95 Kristin: 25 – Big Ben Spencer!  Damn it Ben, we had a song for when you scored, and it was a good song!  And now you’ll never hear it.  But it was good.  Honest. Spencer was signed to Toronto FC back in May after having joined TFC II…
