Canada/Armenia report, lots of things still to work on after this one.

and

Dallas game preview.

[Pookie]

TFC sells over 43,500 tickets for CCL Match. Good work on the part of SGs and dare I say it, MLSE for listening and coming forward with more reasonable ticket pricing?

Dallas game report

shame the first team is going home, playing against hassli, le toux, camilo etc would have been good preparation for L.A.

Ah well, I imagine this was planned out a long time ago, so presumably they know what they're doing.

[tictoc]

Oh, just let it out. New strip now up at East Side Stand Up!

[Darlofletch]

preview of the vancouver game here.

also, starting our season kickoff coverage with a look at where the squad depth is at after pre season

first up, the defence and who's the number one in goal.

secondly, the midfielders. is Silva ahead of Avila at AM?

[Yohan]

Duncan, hall is a winger not a dm

[Darlofletch]

whitecaps game report. result as expected, but not a bad performance, looks good on the academy.

[Darlofletch]

Duncan, hall is a winger not a dm

hmm, missed the 'holding midfielder reference when editing that. I'll cheerfully admit to not knowing much about Hall. Can obviously play both full back spots, aside from that I just think of him as a generic backup midfielder really. I wouldn't put him as the dm in a point back, or as the am in a point forward, but as one of the other two, it could work. hadn't really thought of him as a winger though, thanks.

[ArmenJBX]

Jeremy Hall is a rightback, good sirs

Converted winger

[Darlofletch]

Converted winger

jack of some trades, master of none.

anyway, keeping going with the squad depth thing, here's the forwards

[Darlofletch]

and bringing the depth chart thing together, the whole team. 2 good players for every position is what Winter wants. do we have that yet?

WTF - I just clicked your URL and was led to one of those faux 'Malware Attack - install our security program !' pages.

Not cool.

I do appreciate people letting me know if my site has been compromised. However, I just checked all of the files on my server and didn't see anything suspicious.

.htaccess, logs... everything checks out fine. If anyone else has this happen to them let me know but as far as I can tell, the site is clean.

But TOBOR, even if the site had been hacked, it wouldn't have been intentional on my part.

[Redcoe15]

No Malware attacks when I clicked on tictoc's site. Everything seems cool.

And I can definetly relate to counting down the hours to the match as I've been doing it for a week now.

[tictoc]

Info from LA blogger on if their fans give a crap (sure, but you know, traffic's bad, so , erm, maybe not) whether we'll see Chad at all, and just who's going to be replacing Omar Gonzalez.

TFC v LA Galaxy Rogers Centre -Video Blog

http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/20...re-video-blog/

With TFC’s first game of the season being one to remember in front of over 47,000 screaming fans at the Rogers Centre I kick off my first video blog of the 2012 campaign by taking a look back at the fabulous performance of TFC Captain Torsten Frings who was superlative in both defensive and offensive roles.

I also take a brief look at the “Beckham having a can of Becks thrown at him” event that led to LA’s tying goal and why that fan should be ashamed of himself. I break down the task ahead for the Reds in Los Angeles next week and I also throw in some video from the supporters section that hopefully conveys what it was truly like to be part of a very special evening.

Hey I was invited on my friends radio show in Ottawa and here is the podcast. I come on about 15min in to talk about the game at the Rogers Centre and MLS in Canada. Very brief, I had so much prepared and didn't even talk about what I wanted to. Hopefully I don't sound like an assclown and I did justice for footy/TFC.
