In my 2011 season preview, I predicted that Toronto would struggle for the first few months under its newest leadership structure (new general manager and head coach) but toward the end of the year start to look like a promising team for 2012. I had no clue that the amount of change they would undergo […]

Until Saturday's match versus RSL, Dwayne De Rosario was a good pickup for DC United. The team was playing better with him in the lineup and he gave them an offensive spark that they had lacked with Dax McCarty. Then on Saturday night he took it to a new level. First he fed Andy Najar […]

No road wins this season. A minus 22 goal differential. Six games lost where they gave up three goals or more, including a 4-0 loss and a 6-2 loss. Nineteen points, the third lowest in the league. More trades than a Wall Street stock broker. To be blunt, there has been little for Toronto FC […]

MLS fans were treated to four games last night instead of the usual one or two, as the schedule makers begin to crowd in a few more league games in anticipation of international friendlies and late-season CONCACAF Champions League matches. In a cool twist, all four had some playoff implications as the results had a […]

This weekend, Tony Tchani became the latest victim of one of the dumbest soccer rules on the books. After scoring his goal for a Toronto franchise that is probably at its lowest point, he ran off the pitch and jumped up to the stands to celebrate with the fans. Already sitting on a yellow card, […]

On March 19, the Columbus Crew dejectedly walked out of RFK Stadium in Washington on the wrong side of a 3-1 game. The team allowed two Charlie Davies goals (one a penalty kick) and looked outclassed, out played, and in for a long season. The result came after they were shown the door from the […]

Tonight's DC United/Toronto match-up was evenly matched on paper. Both teams were in the middle of the Eastern Conference, rebuilding after disappointing seasons last year, and had new coaches building their team in their own image. Once the whistle blew, however, the discrepancy between the two teams on this night could not have been bigger. […]

Fabian Espindola knocked in a loose rebound late in stoppage time to give Real Salt Lake a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids and a leg-up in the 2011 Rocky Mountain Cup. Espindola also gave MLS fans the only goal of the evening, as the other match between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Toronto FC […]

MLS could not have asked for a better opening weekend of soccer than this weekend. After a somewhat pedestrian first match between the Galaxy and Sounders, there were a ton of story lines to follow in this weekend's games. While it may be a lot to ask for every weekend to be this exciting (although […]

Team: Toronto FC Coach: Aron Winter Last Year's Finish: 9-8-15, 35 points. Eastern Conference: 5th Toronto's offseason can be described in one word – tumultuous. The team couldn't win the media cycle because every time it had a positive offseason development, it took a step back. They brought on Jurgen Klinsmann to serve as an […]

Our long national nightmare is over. The MLS schedule is out. About a month before the beginning of the season, MLS finally released the entire schedule for all 18 MLS teams. Previously, only each team's first home game was known, and some clubs like the LA Galaxy got an early jump on releasing the schedule […]

The rumor mill was in full tilt Tuesday with the news that national team member Charlie Davies was sent by his French club Sochaux to train with D.C. United in Florida, with a successful training leading to a year-long loan. Yesterday, the Black-and-Red confirmed Davies was in camp and was being given a fitness tryout […]

If you're like me, the holidays are a time of getting out of your workday routines due to relaxation/travel/stress. In fact, at times I miss news stories because I tend not to check news sites or Twitter as much as I normally do. So as I begin my work week routine again, I notice that […]

Toronto FC is the type of club that MLS would love to be successful. They have a loyal and dedicated fan base, Toronto is a growing soccer market that hosted the 2008 All Star Game, and the team has a good core of players almost made a playoff run last year. Despite all this, the […]

The cold days of winter have gotten a little sunlight – MLS today unveiled their schedule for "First Kick 2011", the first home games for every MLS team in the upcoming season. The week will be the first week of the new balanced scheduling and offers some tantalizing match-ups for American soccer fans. First up […]
