"At least we're not Vancouver"
seems to be our only saving grace as far as the league is concerned.
will we be able to say "At least were not Montreal OR Vancouver" next year?
Are MLS squads nto deep enough to handle league AND a cup competition?
Bollocks if you ask me. what. . a pro athelete cant must 2 games / week?

Do you know when a pro-footballer gets tired...? When the media tells him he's tired...Originally Posted by Technorgasm
A pro-footballer in the 70's, who was pouring himself out of the pub the night before a match and hackin' a dart at the half - sure he might not handle 2-games in 1-week...
But today's athletes? They can handle it... Its time the world changes it views/thoughts on what a 'crowded fixture list' actually is...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
I had noticed some commentators (particularly Paul James) wondering if Winter and BDK were training the players in set pieces, because the defense is so inept in that area. We now have our answer: they are, but (no surprise) our defenders lack quality.“You can practice it,” Winter said. “But if at a certain moment you’re always making the same mistakes, I think that it is a lack of quality.”
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

The Differring Fortunes of Canada's Clubs: Nigel Reed is dead on in this article. Exactly what I want to see on a Canadian team, a bunch of good Canadian kids. Shaun Saiko and Matthew Lam were the two guys that I was wondering whether they would do well at the NASL level considering they came from proper academies in Europe. Lam is now playing in Japan of course in the 2nd division.
Nigel's pulling statistics out of his ass especially with the injuries to Cann and JDG.In MLS the Canadian contingent or lack thereof, is even more worrying. Not a single Canadian has played more than 20 League games for Toronto FC this year, though Coach Aron Winter is at least attempting to bring on youngsters like Ashtone Morgan, Doneil Henry and Matt Stinson.
Yeah, I really wonder how he comes to these conclusions. Never been much of a Reed fan.
What FCE is doing is admirable, but it's easier for them to pull off playing down a league.
I'm not the biggest AW fan, but I'll give him full marks for Canadian content, no questions asked. I think the CSA will be very happy with TFC if AW continues on as coach.
I wonder where Canadian teams ranked in this survey? (This was obvious an American study so I am sure they didn't count Canadian teams lol).
Nope. MLS squads are generally not deep enough.
Example: look at Dallas recently.... also look at LA Galaxy versus New York and how Bruce Arena complained about the team being tired. Shit, Hans Backe even backed (lol) out of the US Open Cup basically by sending reserves... and travelled to Emirates Cup instead.... and look at how that team is doing.
Seattle is probably the only team deep enough to handle both... but that's 1 of 18 teams, run by one of the best coaches in the history of the league.
Nonetheless, Seattle isn't going to win the league.

Harden article.
Despite his brainfarts, I'd say he's been most improved player other than Morgan and maybe Gargan before he got traded
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Lam isn't playing or even making the bench in Japan.
