Footage from Toronto FC's first ever home game in MLS in 2007. Anyone who saw footage of the MLS'
newest club, the Seattle Sounders, open their campaign against New York Red Bulls could not help
but make comparisons with the last team prior to them to have joined the league, dearest Toronto
FC. The Candian club marked [.

I wasn't planning to write about this game but having just seen the MLS highlights package I felt a
compulsion to do so. The primary point being that the theme of the MLS so far this season is just
how bad the defences are. I mentioned it repeatedly when watching a selection of the games from
[...]

I watched most of Toronto's game last night and then this morning I awake to see highlights of the
other games waiting for me. The novelty of this great value twenty dollar online season ticket has
not yet worn off. New York 1, New England 1 There's not a lot I can add from 5 minues of

Two away games, four points, unbeaten and (at the time of writing) top of the league. Not a bad
start to the season for Toronto FC. (North American readers will notice that I put the scores with
the home team first, followed by the away in the European manner. I am too long in the tooth

I mentioned on Friday how excited I was for the new Major League Soccer season to kick off and it's
only heightened after last night's festivities. In the effort of full disclosure I should point out
that I horrifically mis-judged the time difference and didn't get the chance to watch the full
match line on the [.

The new Major League Soccer season kicked off in America last night with the latest team (not
franchise, team) Seattle Sounders earning a win over last year's runners-up New York Red Bulls.
(video above) I've ebeen excited about the start of the new campaign since January's draft and am
contemplating watching Toronto FC's kick off when [.

The Wales v Poland friendly, from tonight, was played in Portugal, in front of 487 people. The
result was 1-0 to Poland. As if anyone, anywhere, cares.

Guardian.co.uk is my homepage on Firefox and so probably the news source i consult more than any
otther. I mean, I don't think an internet session goes by where I do not look at the BBC but
nothing on Granuaid Sropt escapes my view. I listen to their podcasts, read their minute-by-minutes
(and attempt to ape [.

I mentioned the other day how it is a sorry state of affairs when you cannot even trust the BBC to
correctly get things right. Well, The Telegraph. the war veteran, hardcore Conservative's paper of
choice is even worse. A statement on Arsenal's website confirmed that their new recruit would wear
the No 23 jersey, as [.

Since I moved a few months ago, the loss of Sky Sports has been a constant annoyance. Sure I have
Setanta on freeview, and so boxing and UFC, and the odd Premiership game, but the absence has been
significant. However tonight Setanta can stick two fingers up to Sky Sports because while their
viewers have nothing [.

From today's BBC Gossip Column... Chelsea are closing in on the transfer of Fiorentina defender
Branislav Ivanovic. (The Times) For those thatdon't know, the column in question is just a
collection of tales from the tabloids, updated throughout the day, and a guarenteed way to get
loads of hits during the silly season that is the [.

Anyone who has followed this blog since the start will have follow my conversion from MLS-o-phobe
to having a Toronto FC tattoo enscribed on my forehead, or somewhere in between. No. 1 draft pick -
Steve Zakuani is headed to Seattle Sounders Last year I began to follow them about midway through
the season and therefore I [.

There was a slight delay in getting this post up, as I went to the game a week ago, but as you will
see from the shaky mobile phone photos - it is worth the wait. The above is of course not one of
mine, but a better look at the stadium I was at this [...]

Despite almost reneging at the last possible moment, I braved the cold to make my way to White Hart
Lane last night for my second live game of 2009. Alright, handsome. I haven't been to Tottenham
since I was forced to give up my season ticket to emigrate from London for work commitments, so I
probably should [.
