Also, did Jeb Brovsky, of all people, just become a cult hero in Montreal?
I noticed all the blood running through his hand and hair an instant after the chance got snuffed out... that was a...
Vancouver homer announcers make me want to watch games on mute. I can't tell if they're actually that biased or just clueless.
Petrescu had a lot of big decisions to make.
Montreal needed to...
It makes ME feel like he's being gracious in the face of defeat - and let's be clear, TFC was soundly thrashed that night; the shame was on the pitch and acknowledging a thoroughly excellent...
Too shay. Just don't let the towrads know. Knowledge is power.
Edit: Whatever ends up being the final concoction I officially deem it the "Kook Aid": Cocktail of Discerning Football Supporters...
Does Kook Aid come in kiwi? Strawberry/kiwi Frutopia is pretty good; I get it when it's on sale at No Frills for a buck. Maybe I should invent a cocktail. I'm not really into sugary cocktails but...
Five attack minded players supported by a young (unsigned) defensive mid who's never been tested in MLS and two fullbacks who both like to get forward???? That's Aron Winter start of 2011 territory...
It's also worth noting that because of the CCL requirements Mexico can't always send their best available teams to Copa Lib, no? Outside of Brazil and Argentina how would the rest of South America's...
Neil Davidson repeated that number, likely lifted from the PA, in his piece this week but I'll bet you he's wrong. I'll bet you Hassli didn't make $790,000 in 2012 and Dallas/MLS won't be paying him...

TFC fans seem to have a hard time with this but, realistically, luck is pretty damn important when it comes to ANY hiring. Not that I endorse this possibility either way.
HOW?!?!?!?!?!? How the hell are we supposed to judge his results against the rest of the league when he took over a 1-0-9 team and has only had three months, 16 league games, one summer transfer...
We've had a start, where we can see what he could do with the remains of Aron Winter's team, and what his first priorities in overhauling it were.
Which, compared to the team he inherited, are...
And I hate that people think that you can talk about the team that Paul Mariner inherited without talking about Aron Winter. How he did in comparison is directly relevant to evaluating whether he...
Man, there's more spelling and grammar mistakes in the above than I care to fix. I hope the message is clear enough.
#2: Tactics
Put simply, people's response to the tactics employed by Paul...
People like to remember the Canadian Championship run in May and pretend that Toronto FC had already turned the corner during that time. What they forget is that one game before the final a bitter,...
It won't make anyone feel any better for a long time but think about this:
Years from now Christine Sinclair will be remembered as one of the best Canadian athletes of her generation, one of the...
Because:
A) TFC is an MLS team.
B) We've got a ton of salary tied up in 3 DPs (again), one of whom can't play, and Eckersley.
C) We were desperately short at centre forward BEFORE Koevermans...
For those interested in arguing for change: the better argument is towards the sporting integrity of the league. Every team should be playing by the same rules.
As it stands we can "blame"...
How would you describe Wondolowski? Or Koevermans for that matter?
If I was a past it former great who'd like to make a lot of money and not actually have to work I'd go to UAE too. If I was a...
The last thing TFC needs right now is another European coach with no knowledge of MLS or the North American pyramid who will take months to acclimatize and bed in.
Because a two game winning streak is nothing in comparison to a year and a half of bad to mediocre to horrible? Winter has rebuilt TFC completely and the team is doing worse in the league than it...
Yes, absolutely. Canada is far to large of a country for the national team to never play games outside of Toronto (or even Central Canada broadly). I remember my frustration when there were...
In general I agree. The occasion raised that from a regular friendly. The Ameicans certainly didn't want to lose but I don't think they'll be overly disappointed at not winning. They were...
In other words: let's not be Canada!
