A lot of people can relate.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

Is Toronto FC Incapable of Telling The Truth?
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2013/07/liars/
Why Toronto FC's handling of Darren O'Dea's impending return to Europe was shameful and sadly a statement about the culture this team needs to still fix.
Aaron Nielsen (ENBSports/Soccermetrics) looks at how poor TFC have been thus far under Payne/Nelsen, but takes a leap of faith in joining the posi train and goes over the roster, potential DP signing, and direction the team should take given Leiweke's past history with LA Galaxy
ANOTHER TFC OVERHAUL. HAVE THEY LEARNED FROM THE PAST?
My doctor just called. He said my body water content is scarily low. It seems that 99% of my water has been replaced by pi** and vinegar.
He said this was not based on tests, but rather upon reading my blog. You be the judge. Mistake by the Lake
Hey:
Many you might know of my blog already at http://viewfromthesouthstands.com but I don't know if you know about another TFC specific blog that from time posts some interesting content.
Here is his latest where he goes through significant statistical detail on the revolving door on the Toronto FC dressing room and he puts into context just how crazy the turnover on this team actually has been. You can check it out here:

A Gold Cup in Canada?
New post up with a look at how Canada would host a Gold Cup in the future, or even just Canada's group. In this article I also consider Mexico as a host along with some more pipe dreams about potential hosts in Central America and the Caribbean.
7 Conclusions from the Gold Cup
Some final thoughts after the US struggled to break down a Panama team that has to be taken seriously. Julio Dely Valdes and his boys will be on the radar of some European sides after their performances in World Cup qualifying and at this tournament.

Rain Ignites the Fire - TFC Victorious over the Crew
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/?p=3289
In this post game video blog I do my best to try and not get too excited or wrapped up in all of the symbolism from TFC's victory in the pouring rain last weekend versus Columbus. And I try and focus on what I think is the true message to take from this game - that a winning team WILL reignite the passion so long dormant for this team.
Two new TFC-specific entries
Aaron Nielsen doesn't agree with Payne et al. current direction of the club - losing out on next year's draft pick (although nothing to do with them) 1st and 3rd round, no homegrown potential, means there's even fewer options of N.American 'core' talent. Supplementing w Euro and S.American talent is experimental with few precedents at success.
TFC'S CURRENT DIRECTION RAISES CONCERNS AND LITTLE OPTIMISM
ALSO - An update on the man many either love or hate - Terry Dunfield gives a status update and is keen to get back out there in MLS and sign on with another club

Reds Win – Revs Lose
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/20...win-revs-lose/
Post game video thoughts after Toronto FC defeat the New England Revolution away in Foxboro on Sunday past. In this post I take a look at the game, the most important metric to emerge in the past three games, the composure at the back plus Laba and his HUGE upside.I also take a look ahead at the useless friendly again Roma on Wednesday, the potential controversy ahead if TFC signs Max Urrutti from Argentina and I ask why Toronto FC feels it should not make a serious run to sign a world class American footballer as some sort of favour to American Soccer.

The strange roster rules of MLS
Why MLS needs to change the domestic player rules that favour Americans over Canadians - and why if they won't, there's a second option that will take some getting used to.
Anything else? New strip now up at East Side Stand Up!
Before Payne, there was No Vacancy. New comic strip now up at RedNation Online.
and the new direction is???
Chop, change, upheaval. We should be used to this churn......but still I am shocked, worried and puzzled.

If the CFL Comes - I Go
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2013/09/cfl-bmo/
Why I feel letting the CFL's Toronto Argonauts into BMO Field as tenants will destroy the stadium for Soccer as surely as it will destroy Toronto FC as a Soccer Team.
So if thought if give writing a blog a go. For my first piece I look at the salaries that were released and the canadian teams. And ask the question did Kevin Payne really fix our problems?
