Anthems: The (in)definitive answers |
|
|
|
By Nick Hone, gotorontofc.com
So You’ve Decided to Start a Football Club.
You’ve got the coach, second time of asking. You’ve got the players; finally performing to a standard higher than that of a recent expansion team. You’ve got the stadium, and it’s selling out each and every home game, providing your company with Paul Maurice’s severance package.
So is there something missing?
The question on everybody’s lips, aside from whether Marco Velez and Laurent Robert are actually brothers, is: Does Toronto FC need an anthem? |

Press Release
SECAUCUS, NJ -- Red Bull New York announced Tuesday that defender Andrew Boyens has signed with Major League Soccer to play for the Red Bulls, pending receipt of his P-1 visa.
To make room for Boyens, Red Bull New York placed midfielder Michael Palacio on the team's Season Ending Injury List.
"We think Andrew will provide immediate depth to our defense," said Red Bull New York Sporting Director Jeff Agoos. "He gained valuable experience in his rookie year starting in a number of games for Toronto FC and we think that his ability will serve us well moving forward." |

TFC - Columbus Start Time Changed |
|
|
|
According to an official at the club, the start time for the Toronto FC match versus Columbus Crew on May 17th has been changed to 4:00pm to accommodate the CBC's broadcast schedule.
As posted by Paul Beirne, Director of Business Operations for TFC, on the Usector forums:
"We'll be announcing shortly that there will be a new start time for this game...
it is now 4:00pm (4:10 kick).
Very sorry for the inconvenience. It is for TV - CBC will be able to carry the game live, and right after an NHL playoff game...very good for ratings, and better for TFC (than joining a game in progress)." |

Some people are suckers. They’ll do things like release their preseason picks before the season. Then when the games start up they’re proven wrong within weeks.
Not me though...I’m smarter than that. I’m making and releasing my preseason picks a few weeks into the season. It’s not really making preseason picks if you wait until the season starts you say? Whatever, that’s just details.
If these picks are incorrect we will give away John Hadden’ care for free!

...pundits across the league will surely not consider Toronto FC’s run of good form an aberration. Especially when considering the influence of Guevara and Robert. |

Lots can be said about Toronto FC's performance in the 2007 debut season. For that matter, I could go on forever about the ups and downs that have occurred in just the three games of 2008. |
