Episode 148 – 16/08/03 #That’llDoSig
Mark’s hamstring is worse than Jozy Altidore’s so once again we’re down to 3 to revel in the Trillium Cup glory, look ahead to the visit from the Saltiest of Real Lakes and the tea terrorists as well as a quick look at the Olympics and of course a sentimental and thoroughly respectful salute to VMP legend Sigi Schmid. In this episode, Duncan gets ridiculous with his squad rotation suggestions, Kristin gets so...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus

This would be a more daunting prospect if the Kamara was Kei, if Higuain was healthy...
Who’s Your Derby?: “The New Soft” and TFC’s Rivalry Matches
