Isn’t it as simple as this?….

They dealt with it through channels and got stuffed. NYCFC then bullied them again, and the refs were part of it. So they decided to go vigilante.

I hadn’t realized until I just looked that Cushing, like Herdman, has his background mostly in the elite womens game. I am guessing that these two have known each other for a long time.

I have...

It's pretty easy to infer what happened.

The statement about the cameras pretty much tells you it was brought up privately with the league, and that official TFC were very unhappy about the camera...

He isn’t a CM. Could he turn into a defender, a la Lovitz?

He has skill on the ball. He can tackle. What he can't seem to do is read the play, ie judge time and space in these 50/50 situations …....

Yes, but it only took a fresh Coello 60 seconds to have a brutal giveaway lead to a goal…

Shows what I know

Yes, that probably should have been a second yellow. Also a handball.

Prince's limitations - lack of speed and too many flubbed opportunities when he gets a touch in a dangerous spot - have really been in the shop window today.

I don’t think Insigne is coming in.

Herdman played these games around public statements of availability a lot for Canada.

I feel the rule on those types of plays is harsh. It is almost impossible for a player to have a conscious reaction to a shot hit that hard at close range.

But those are always called. I have no...

That is a PK

Rain definitely causes some people (could be a couple of thousand) to sit under the stands and wait it out, especially when forecast is for it to stop in a few minutes (as is the case tonight)

We have most of the ball, but they have been dangerous a couple of times on the counter.

I am pleased to be able to watch this… and curious to see/hear how Greg Sutton does.

I am a bit apprehensive about Insigne given the weather. The field will be slick.

Thats no honourable mention. That’s the actual winner. I stand corrected.

MAK was just a plain old mistake. 20/20 hindsight. MAK had been injured and his club form was off - but he had rebounded for Canada (he was getting significant Canada minutes when he was acquired,...

You have mischaracterized the cost of Ibarra.

Ibarra was the single dumbest move in team history, and that is saying something. Only in very specific situations (ie contenders with very specific...

Something weird and obvious just occurred to me.

Choiniere went public with his trade demand right after the deadline… what exactly pushed him over the edge?

What if Choiniere is the deal TFC...

^IF there is anything to that story (big if)... that slot was filled by Etienne.

Let's give Hernandez and Herdman some credit here. This guy is not coming, unless one of the Italians leave.

^We should maybe pivot to Choiniere anyway, if that story was real

This happened to me with Vanney. I hated that hire when it happened. It took me 18 months to come around.

It is interesting to see the tremendous focus the dual President/GM structure at the Leafs is getting in the media, now that Shanahan is in the hotseat.

Shanahan is on his last contract year and...

^ US and Canadian accounting would be very similar on this.

This is a subset of a bigger problem. All kinds of valuable intangible assets (including virtually everything in tech and media...

A story I tripped over, in a corner of the internet far from traditional sports media.

This seems like it's worth keeping an eye on
