Toronto FC Looking To The Premier League For Reinforcements

Toronto FC's new manager Ryan Nelsen just finished playing in the Premier League for Queens Park Rangers, so it should not be a surprise to lean that Nelsen is tapping his UK contacts to help out TFC.

Ephraim has not started a game for QPR all season, but obviously Nelsen saw something in training to make him want to take Ephraim on a season long loan.

Fait accompli... Hassli deal confirmed

the yorkies at related • 1 view
Time to bite a new badge monsieur  The worst kept secret in MLS is officially out. As was pretty much announced over Twitter on Friday evening by FC Dallas, the Texan side has grabbed Eric Hassli from Toronto FC for a conditional 2nd Round Draft Pick in 2014. While that doesn't quite make up for the short-sighted gifting of TFC's 1st Round Pick to Vancouver in the first place, it sounds possible that Toronto could get a better deal if Hassli plays well in Dallas.

Philadelphia Union In Talks To Send Freddy Adu To Toronto FC

Recently Twitter has created a new layer of mistrust and cynicism toward anything resembling a Major League Soccer rumor due to the rapid growth of a few accounts (and their parodies), in the past two years, that deal with such topics.

Fans of the Philadelphia Union may be some of the more critical groups of supporters on this issue because of the atmosphere of deceit when it comes to the same thing in baseball.

After the Voyaguers Cup Semi-Final 1st Leg, Montreal supporters' groups were tremendously unhappy with their club's lack of showing in a 2-0 loss to Toronto. To "voice" what they saw as a lack of passion from their club's leadership in regards to the tournament, they sat in silence during Impact's following fixture to Chicago Fire.

Sporting Looking to Make it Two

Sporting will play another home opener this week when they travel to Toronto to take on TFC at the Rogers Centre. With the earlier start, Toronto is moving the game from BMO Field to the larger facility.

TFC comes into the game on the heals of a 1-0 loss in Vancouver in the opener. Overall I wasn't that impressed watching them last week, but they were missing a few players as well.

"No Roquefort at halftime? Savages!"  It just wouldn't be a Toronto FC training camp without a little bit of the amateur dramatics.

New scarves from the Yorkies Collection... ok, they're not, but I wish they were.
I had a whole "prediction" bit, but since most of those could not occur, including one where Bitchy takes off again, but gets caught in the north end goal netting, this had to be removed. Pity, really.

Welcome to the national cup.

Ahhhh... the best seat in the house. This feels nice. I'm finally at home for an away game, which sounds like an oxymoron, but I assure you this is correct.

Springtime in Toronto. Is it here? To be fair, it's not important as long as it FEELS like spring by kick-off and maintains its springness until the final whistle. If mother nature wants to do a heel-turn and make a blizzard by 4:30, so be it.

Saved By The Bendik: Philadelphia Union 1-1 Toronto

Brotherly Game at related • 1 view

The Philadelphia Union thought they were robbed of an equalizer. Then they got an equalizer. Then they were one missed shot away from victory. All this occurred in the span of a few minutes, and it all added up to the Philadelphia Union drawing Toronto FC 1-1 at PPL Park on Saturday afternoon.

The first half was a dull and listless and boring and unentertaining and every other unsavory adjective that you can think of affair.

Revs Take Farrell with First Pick

New England Soccer Today at related • 0 views

There's no debating that the New England Revolution got their man on Thursday.

After nabbing the first overall pick from Toronto for the fourth spot and allocation money, the Revolution selected Louisville defender and Generation adidas prospect Andrew Farrell.

Farrell scored four goals and collected one assist in 21 games for Louisville in 2012.

MLS SuperDraft 2013: Revolution Trade For #1 Pick

The Bent Musket at related • 0 views

We all knew that trading picks was a possibility this week, especially with the New England Revolution holding a commodity like the fourth pick. A high draft pick is always an attractive bargaining chip. Really, though, if anyone would have been willing to put money down that the Revs would not only deal their first-round pick, but deal it to Toronto for the number one pick in the draft, surely most Revs fans would have called them crazy.

The Rest

Send In The Clowns

That was a lousy game to watch as a neutral fan, worse as a Toronto fan. It probably wasn't very pleasant to watch as a Rapids fan but at least we can celebrate 3 points at the end of the day. Two teams that were lucky to string 3 passes together wasted 90 minutes on the field. At the end of the day the difference was that one team (Toronto) were absolute clowns and one team (Colorado) were merely lousy.

Against the Red Bulls, Toronto gave up yet another late goal, which this time meant a loss instead of a draw.

Landmark Goals

Another stat for you, Sporting's landmark goals. This year KC hit two marks, Aurelien Collin got the 700th league goal for KC, scoring in first half stoppage time against FC Dallas in March. Then in June, CJ Sapong scored KC's 500th goal in all competitions at home with his goal against Toronto. Next year KC should get their 300th league away goal and their 900th in all competitions.
