Let’s go Red Bulls (for tonight at least…)

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 08:09 PM EST

I will become a very short-lived New York Red Bulls fan if they can beat Real Salt Lake tonight to aid in the cause of TFC making the playoffs. If Real wins, our hopes go further down the drain, and TFC plays Real in Toronto for their last home game this Saturday. I'll be at that match, and I really hope it still means something!

Another Heartbreaker…

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 12:10 PM EST

Toronto FC broke out the pink jerseys to support breast cancer research this weekend against San Jose Earthquakes. This one ended in a 1-1 draw, and was mainly a good outing for TFC except for their usual nemesis the last 15 minutes. To be fair, this time it was only the last 2 minutes that were the problem (San Jose scored the equalizer in the 92nd minute).

TFC vs. Chicago Fire 2-2

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 10:10 AM EST

Last night's game in Chicago was yet another episode in frustration for Toronto FC. TFC need every point they can get to cling to their slim chance of making the playoffs, and unfortunately they gave up two of them last night.

The frustrating part is that Chicago was definitely beatable, but Toronto still managed to squander the lead twice in the game and may now be too far out of the playoff race to catch up.

Season Preview: Strikers

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 11:25 PM EST
Although Toronto FC has had trouble finding the back of the net during their first two years, I do not expect them to have problems in that department during this campaign. Partly this is due to the addition of Pablo Vitti, partly due to the maturation of Chad Barrett, and partly because there is a [. Click to continue reading...

Season Preview: Defense

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 04:28 AM EST
If you've been keeping up with this blog recently, you'll know that I'm still hoping for an addition to Toronto FC's central defense before this Saturday's season opener in Kansas City. In yesterday's news post, I linked to Ives' preseason power rankings, which hint at TFC making an acquisition of that type this week. Click to continue reading...

Monday’s Musings

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 09:35 PM EST
Tidbits: As you may be able to guess from the above picture (taken from the USector boards), the season ticket packages began to trickle in around the province today. Can't say I like the scarf as much as last year's, but the tickets are in a poster format this year, which will look wonderful on my [. Click to continue reading...

It’s Draft Day!

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 08:27 AM EST
This has the potential to be a very exciting day for TFC. We go in with 3 first round picks (2, 4, and 13) and one 3rd rounder (34). The chances of us picking four players in those spots are less than zero. Don't forget we have Trader Mo as our GM. Rumours Some sort of deal [...] Click to continue reading...

First 3 Games Scheduled!!!

If you tank it, will they come?

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 09:35 PM EST
It's that time of year again, folks – season ticket renewals are due on Friday. While TFC had an astonishing renewal rate of 94% last year, methinks that after only marginal improvement during the second season, this number may drop. In the last couple home games (yes, I know the weather may have been a [. Click to continue reading...

Marvellous Goal not enough against Dynamo

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 03:24 PM EST
When Saturday's final whistle blew in front of 20 074 fans at BMO Field on a rainy afternoon in Toronto, two things had just become clear - TFC had delivered their best performance in months, and the MLS playoffs will be played without the Reds this year. Like so often this season, TFC could have [. Click to continue reading...

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 01:45 PM EST
This past weekend, representatives from adidas travelled around sports stores in the GTA to present the designs for next year's TFC kit. Luckily, a fan with a cellphone camera managed to catch a glimpse at the ProImage in Bramalea: 1. Collar...I don't mind, but get used to people at BMO who feel the need to pop [.

I’M BLIND, I’M DEAF, I WANT TO BE AN MLS REF!

The Offside - Toronto FC @ 04:27 PM EST
I'm so tired of complaining about the refs that I've created this blog specifically to address the issue. At first I was going to go off on a rant but honestly this issue is more persistent and goes deeper than something as trivial as GOLTV's stupid decision to cut away from a live match [...] Click to continue reading...
