And to top it off we got dropped by St. Kitts too. Time for some soul searching about how we handle this age level perhaps?

Understood. We retaliated a few minutes after a bad tackle from their player on one of our mids and got burned for it. Not smart.
There must be some sort of running joke about how often we fall...
Lots of stuff to work on. More broadly: better development opportunities, more pressure on clubs to actually develop players, and cheaper access to the game at the youth levels (our best player was...
Canada lost to Panama in the U20 thus eliminating them from qualifying for 2020 WC. However, 18-yo TFC 2 player Noble Okello scored three goals in the tournament, from midfield.
Looking forward to...
I think you need to take a step back and look at the broader picture vs, some of the in-the-weeds issues here.
You know why we have an ungodly number of registered players in this country and...
I think somebody’s synopsis of Lenarduzzi’s explanation on Twitter was rather on point. Basically: we fired Robbo because one playoff win in x seasons, what we want to see is a scrappy team that...
I didn’t have a chance to listen but supposedly they really threw Bob in the fire (deservedly so).
OT but Tabla just committed to playing for Canada. Have things looked this good, ever?
Now we just need a god damn defender or two.
Yes, I remember Carl “hospital ball” Robinson quite well. Apparently the quality of the decision relates entirely to the speed at which you make it.
Notwithstanding all this, he’s really only half...
Please no. This guy is a one dimensional manager. Everything is about speed and counterattacking. Zero tactical tactical adjustments, constant griping when his stable of dirty players were carded or...
Well played sir, well played!
But this fails to capture the fact both Canada and the US are in the league. And it is more than a national national sport, it’s an international one (unlike the NFL).
Major International League...
I get the argument you are trying to make but determining who had the best season ever is not going to be clearly articulated by that sort of singular, modified stat. Did he win the majority of his...
I work in banking and pretty much every player creates some flakey marketing materials stating they are #1 in whatever they are trying to sell. It is always littered with hilarious caveats.
“Number...
This is a random, not so much TFC / MLS related note but didn’t think there was a good place for it in the Canada section either (not really worthy of its own thread).
18 year old Jonathan David...
Done deal:

@KristianJack
Alphonso Davies to Bayern Munich is a done deal. Fee is around 13 million euros with substantial add ons that could make the entire package...
Good news all around! Very healthy for the team. Keeping this mass-appeal and not a ticket scarcity play is the best alternative.
So before the new guy shows up and gets his work permit, how about David Villa as player / manager? It works in men’s league, lol
That’s how much we are paying him? Yikes.
This is the guy who just traded away his best defender for what are now non-performing assets, is third last in the east and dead last in MLS on goal differential. Also insisted playing Raheem on the...
^ Sapputo has a difficult task at hand. The cookie cutter MLS play won’t work in that market.
That said, so many changes on that team appear to be about owner preference and not team needs. They...
There are two sides to every coin. For every time i’ve seen a manager rightfully call out a guy for having an attitude problem i’ve seen another who was simply protecting his turf and creating a wall...
I could be wrong but I’d say we built our whole team around not having attitude problems like Balo. Pass.
If your going to spend money there are better players to spend it on.
Selfishly would love to see that franchise get a shot in the arm. They were a big part of early days MLS culture and had a strong fan base.
Unfortunately the crumbling dump that is RFK and some...
I thought about this for a while... you put down some seeds for the game to grow and it pays huge dividends long term.
Brazil has a ton of these courts (as if beach soccer, foot volley, and...
