TFC Kicks off the Champions League ticket drive and the LA Galaxy lose a key player to a season ending ACL injury while training overseas.
Years have gone by and Ive 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 dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

getting into the blind predictions game, what will tfc end up with from their 4th pick. I'm guessing plata.
mayeb it'll be trading the pick, maybe it'll be trading/salary dumping a player, but i think we need to be getting more salary cap room, and that that's what's stalling the plata/ecks deals at 99% and delaying the announcement of the apparently signed aceval. we'll do something on thursday, in order to announce signings later on when Plata gets here for his viaje a canada.
OOOOHHHHHH NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!1!1!

A supporter's story.
a short (10 mins) piece featuring 6 supporters talking about why they started supporting TFC, what they love about it, and just what's kept them going over the last 5 years.
Lots of U-sector, with a bit of RPB thrown in there, featuring King Dave. MLSE may not give a shit about them, but KD just really fucking digs the supporters. Period.
"Win you must" tifo got posted on this site I visit. Kinda cool.
