I spoke with Dwayne De Rosario and with Jordan Hamilton today, here's the article:

http://rednationonline.ca/Articles2013/DeRosarioandJordanHamilton.aspx

"I want to learn from all the experienced players, try to break into the starting 11 or A-team, just do my best," said Hamilton. "I'm an attacker, out and out, I score goals, that's my job. I can play anywhere along the front and I'm just going to work my hardest for the team."

"If we want to be taken seriously in terms of the national team level, it's important that we start raising our own, developing our own and taking care of our own,” said De Rosario. “I’m sick of seeing Canadians going across seas to get recognized and then being appreciated at home. I think it’s time we step up as Canadians and make our own people feel at home and stay at home and reward them for their achievements.”

"A lot of them know, Kyle Bekker and those guys, they know I'm a winner and I'm competitive so they better be ready because I'm coming in, crackin' the whip!" - De Rosario

Thoughts on the arrival to Toronto FC of Michael Bradley and Jermaine Defoe and how a renewed sense of credibility for the club has come along with them.

Spoke with Tim Bezbatchenko and Tim Leiweke at yesterday's news conference, on Alberto Gilardino, Matias Laba, the SuperDraft and the star signings:

http://rednationonline.ca/Articles2014/LeiwekeandBezbatchenkotalkstarsigningsSuper.aspx

“We spent a lot of time down in Italy, we spent a lot of time talking to clubs and players in Italy, and I have great respect for Gilardino,” said Leiweke. “I think he’s a beautiful, fantastic player and a great striker, a great finisher.”

“I think our goal here eventually is to find the right Italian player to come join us,” said Leiweke.

“Time will ultimately reward us for the efforts and relationships we’re currently doing with the Serie A clubs,” said Leiweke. “And although it was a little disappointing, because we’d love to have [Gilardino], obviously we’re in a situation where we can only have three DPs.”

“Matias is an exceptional player, so we’re going to do everything we can to keep him, but we’re going to continue to evaluate our roster,” said Bezbatchenko. “We’re working with the league on that, we’ll go from here. We have some time.”

A Great Start To Season Eight

http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2014/03/a-great-start-to-season-eight/

Toronto FC went west to kick off their 2014 campaign this past Saturday in fine style with an emphatic 2-1 away victory over the Seattle Sounders. In this post I talk about how everything and everybody came together, in particular the new Big Three plus just about everybody & everything else. I talk about how this essentially new team is rekindling much of the supporter passion that has long been dormant in Toronto and I take a moment to call out Clint Dempsey who deservedly should be getting suspended for his actions in the game.

Reds Lose at RSL - Back Down To Earth


http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2014/03/downtoearth/


Toronto FC crashes back to earth after a rough 3-0 defeat in Salt Lake City Saturday night. In this post game video blog I take a brief look back at the match and some of the apparent weaknesses the loss exposed (Bloom and Orr come immediately to mind).


I also try to explain why we should not jump off tall buildings after just one game nor should we be exalting after the first two results either in retrospect. Finally I try and explain how the loss shows that the DP signings and new players coming in can only partially make up for seven previous seasons of gross ineptitude - and that there is still a ways for TFC to go.

In this post game video blog I take a look back at TFC's surprising short-handed victory over Columbus that saw just about every Toronto player exceed expectations in a 2-0 result. I also take a look at some suprisingly creative tactical innovations/selections from Mr. '4-4-2' Nelsen that worked quite well and I try and put this unprecedented nine points - two shutouts - two road wins season start into some sort of historical context.

Canadians coaching abroad: the round-up

http://majorliguesoccer.com/2014/04/23/canadian-coaches-abroad-round-up/

Canadian-born Dwight Lodeweges was forced to resign from SC Cambuur after club ultras stormed the training ground, and that got me thinking about the various coaches and others working in footy abroad with Canadian connections. Here's a look at their recent activity.

Toronto FC: a discarded XI

http://majorliguesoccer.com/2014/04/23/toronto-fc-a-discarded-xi/

An XI made up solely of former TFC players who are still active in MLS. Not surprisingly, they'd give the current side a run for their money...



Alan Gordon is the one who I would like to see back the most.

Thanks for reading. I wish Laba never had to leave, but there's a case for Avila as well, doing alright at RB for Chivas this year. Gordo would definitely be a bonus with Dike out. Gotta love Plata too, even if he wouldn't work in the formation we're going for now.

Newest: When West Ham nearly won the NASL

http://majorliguesoccer.com/2014/04/29/when-west-ham-nearly-won-the-nasl/

Recapping a mad NASL opening season in 1969 when West Ham and their three World Cup winners played as Baltimore and Wolves played as Kansas City Spurs (confused yet?).

I love the old NASL history, it was truly bizarre.

I didn't really start following North American pro soccer until my dad showed me Pele playing on TV. By the time I was old enough to really start seriously following it on my own, the NASL folded.

I started following MLS in 2005. It felt like a strange insider discovery in those MLS 1.0 days "say did you know that the U.S. has a pro league?" The league had close to zero profile. I chose DC United as my favourite team, and they played fairly decent possession football. I was planning to go to a match in DC in 2006, when the TFC announcement came, and I threw my support to our own team.

For sure - there was virtually no exposure in Canada, aside from the occasional All-Star game or MLS Cup final (De Ro in overtime, anyone?). I "supported" San Jose due to a friend there and the Canadian connection, playing as them in FIFA etc, but that was obviously abandoned as soon as TO arrived on the scene.

Anyways, the latest from Major "Ligue" Soccer:

Copa América 2016 set for the US - but what does Canada need to do to qualify? (http://majorliguesoccer.com/2014/05/01/copa-america-2016-how-can-canada-qualify/)

Reds Storm Back To Win!


http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2014/07/reds-storm-back/


Post game thoughts on a memorable night at BMO Field as the Reds stormed back from an early two nil deficit to win 4-2. In this post I take a look back at the win and the defensive lapses that led to the need for the comeback in the first place. I also take a look at both the prowess of Defoe and the need for more secondary scorers to start stepping up. Finally I include some video from the stands and outside the stadium as supporters celebrate the win in true TFC style.

Canada at the World Cup (http://majorliguesoccer.com/2014/07/13/canada-at-the-world-cup-brazil-2014/)

Canada's national team may have been absent from the World Cup but there was some Canadian representation in Brazil this summer, including a Scarborough native who started Holland's 5-1 win over Spain and went the full 90 in Saturday's third-place match. Toronto's Michael Bradley and Julio César earn a mention.

Why should we care about that guy? He's Dutch, not Canadian, and I wish people would stop talking about him as if he was.

We All Cried 'Unkel'


http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2014/07/we-all-cried-unkel/


Sadly we witnessed Saturday where another poor (and highly inexperienced!) MLS official directly impacts the outcome of a Toronto FC match - this time not for the better.


In this video blog I take a look at the critical error that MLS ref Ted Unkel made early on that arguably cost TFC three precious points and many of the others he made in a shockingly poor display of officiating. I also take a look at how well the Reds did compete against one of the very best opponents they will see this season in Kansas City and how Nelsen still needs to find more ways going forward to take advantage of what he now has to work with.

Defoe Goes – So Does Nelsen

Defoe apparently heading back to London - Nelsen sacked - And TFC faces its biggest 2 months ever with increased uncertainty. Thoughts on Defoe's apparently imminent departure and how the timing of Nelsen's departure feels like more of a damage control tactic than a soccer decision.
