A few things to fill up the break before DCU - looking back on the Union game,

New post up at http://majorliguesoccer.com with an attempt at an XI of unattached and newly released Canadian/American players. Most of them could do a job for Toronto or at least the NASL teams including Ottawa next year.
A terrible matter. Part 4. New strip now up at East Side Stand Up!
Yes the strips that appear on the RedNation Online site are not archived and will change as I send them new ones. However, here is a link to the one you're looking for on my site:
Keeping it classy.
A History of Empty Titles at BMO Field

from Mo Johnston as "Director of Soccer Operations" to Bob de Klerk's "Technical Manager" (what exactly did he do?)

Cursed. A terrible matter. Part 5. New strip now up at East Side Stand Up!
Oh no... it's a collective curse from all the former coaches!
We're doomed.
Cursed. A terrible matter. Part 6. New strip now up at RedNation Online!
PM me the alternative ending(s?), were we to have lost/drawn -- you MUST have them!
Really enjoyed reading through these. I had stopped doing so, because I knew they would cheer me up and I didn't want to be cheered up; I wanted to be upset with the recent results and to, then, forget about them for awhile, completely.
Having won, now, I've resumed reading all those I missed and it's been quite entertaining and the timing of this win corresponds nicely to your concluding the "Cursed" series. Neat.
Thanks, JuliquE! I really enjoyed doing something different with the comic strips. Like you, I was getting fed up with our lack of... anything. Changing it up so that I wasn't focussing on myself was a nice distraction. Now that we have won, and I'm getting back to my regular programming, let's keep out fingers crossed that things have changed!
As for alternate endings, I had them in my head but never put them to paper. I'm glad of that though because they would have probably been sad comics. Hehe.
Probably for the best, yeh.
I actually came here to post that you were right, after having last seen the fifth instalment to the series.. when I noticed you had just posted the sixth and had to check it out.
Does make you wonder, though; can't be good, burning so many bridges and having poorly treated the masses of whom have passed through the club. Here's hoping those days are well behind us and that the new regime conducts their business with an air of class. #Karma
Fingers crossed, indeed.

Changing The Narrative
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/20...the-narrative/
Toronto FC WIN. Digest that for a few seconds. Then take a look at this video where I talk about the importance of this victory and how it might at least for the short run, start changing the narrative surrounding this team, I take a moment to mention the coming out party for Matias Laba and I offer up a fare-thee-well to midfield stalwart Terry Dunfield.
All-Province XIs
http://majorliguesoccer.com/2013/06/...local-players/
What if Toronto could only play players from Ontario? Looking at what provincial XIs would look like for Ontario, Quebec, BC and Alberta.
EDIT: OK, one more:

Looking at some of the few foreign-based coaches with a Canadian connection and the chances of them coaching Canada in the future.

TFC Earn a Point in the Heat of Texas
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2013/06/texas-heat/
Video thoughts on the well deserved point Saturday night in Houston as Toronto FC earned a draw in the extreme heat of Texas. In this post I look back at the trio of Caldwell, Bendick and Laba who continue standout performances, I look at the next two games against the top two teams in the league and I offer Tim Leiweke a reminder that mid season friendlies are a bad idea.
Stress test. New strip now up at RedNation Online!
A bit of a TFC round up from the weekend and the 0-0 draw with Houston

Who is Benito Floro? Looking at the national team's new coach - Pragmatic disciplinarian with a psych degree. Just what we need?

Are there signs that TFC are being built the right way and that patience will be rewarded? Or am I a foolish fool......Mistake by the Lake
