Competent, excellent American (flunkies) made us great and Manning let them walk (more or less) and replaced them with totally the wrong people, also Americans who led us back to mediocrity. Manning...

From CP article published this afternoon:

“Toronto FC fullback/wingback Richie Laryea and New York City FC defender Strahinja Tanasijevic have both been fined and handed an additional one-game...

Let’s hope we got the outside-the-play aggression out of our system in that rumble. It seems we get into tunnel dust-ups only with New York teams.

That is amusing! Since when has TFC ever had non American direction? And if we want Canadian and competent that would be even more difficult to find in our past (Tom Anselmi was as clueless as they...

Didn’t see the match but from the comments here it sounds like a good effort. Liked the lineup, more or less.

So, given Richie’s suspension would occur once he’s fit to play, it should keep him out at least into July, or even, close to the end of August, possibly 3 matches after his return from the Copa...

Most MLS club’s scouting departments are spotty at best. The marquee LA Galaxy had no scouting department at all when Vanney arrived a few years ago.

Traditionally, the league ran a central...

So true. The CSA have always been woefully inept but the deal with CSB is a new low. Lucky they’re being rescued here by U.S. corporate practice. I suppose now that there is nothing left to buy...

From the press release:

“The appointment of Marsch is assisted by major philanthropic contributions from the owners of the three Canadian-based MLS clubs – Vancouver Whitecaps, Joey Saputo, and...

Yeah, they’re not playing well at the moment. Also, on the bright side might be that for Bernie and Long, the 5 matches in 14 day fixture congestion becomes 4 matches in 14 days… 3 in 14 if they...

Interesting and strongly reasonable, especially your add. To me, ‘the usual answer’ if usual at all, which becomes the conspiracy in theory, is often not founded in reality, in part because human...

A short piece by Davidson. more or less confirms this. An excerpt below:

“New York City FC coach Nick Cushing has repeated his denial of allegations that he punched a Toronto FC player, saying he...

This from Davidson’s article:

Toronto centre back Kevin Long joins Bernardeschi in missing the Nashville game after picking up a caution that triggered a ban for yellow card accumulation.

It’s certainly an American league and its reason for being - at least in theory these days - is to develop US soccer. It’s also the main media outlet about itself. This has a veneer of impartiality...

He’s slow of foot and I think it limits where he can play. Against Dallas he was fabulous spraying balls forward and he didn’t make any real mistakes. All the same I wasn’t upset that he came off...

True enough. Ibarra was short lived and relatively inexpensive. A sign of all of our signings since the disaster of Bob is that they’ve been made on the cheap. Yes, Hernandez, on his own, made some...

What a can of worms (on an artificial pitch) Ibarra has opened!

I can’t help mentioning Mista (because it’s Mista) - similar to Ibarra in that he had no interest in being here, at least after one...

I’d love to see Insigne on the pitch if he’s ready to go.

As a few people on this board have pointed out, this home stand is important. As for this match, if we lose it, other results should go...

I have no idea if it’s so… but I like it very much. Much more of it had come off. Even more if he forces a trade to us.

On Herdman after the match:

“Razzaghi’s counterpart John Herdman also heaped loads of praise on the Saint-Laurent players and staff after the match, and following the full time whistle stood at...

Although my initial sense of the first match of this competition was that we were dressing a few too many senior players, it now seems like the right move - on a few levels. Not sure about Bernie on...

Nice piece in The Gazette about our opponent.

https://montrealgazette.com/sports/soccer/stu-cowan-semi-pro-montreal-soccer-team-faces-david-vs-goliath-matchup

We’re up to 9th in the MLS power rankings.

“Even if you, like me, are skeptical of Toronto’s ability to keep earning results, some of their underlying numbers suggest their early-season success...

Sounds about right.

True enough… with the exception of Oluwaseyi, raised in Mississauga, totally overlooked by our academy and chosen 17th by the Loons. He’s on 5 goals and 2 assists in limited minutes this season.
