7 coaches in 6 seasons? This was their worst year yet.
I'll still support them as a Toronto team, but definitely have not been supporting them in the last 2years until they get their s*** together. I'm sick of all the losing MLSE products that they feed us & expect us to blindly follow in the name of 'Die Hard support'. Va fanculo!
Give me a team worthy of my genuine support & I'll be there front & centre. Sick of it.
On another note, HUGE game for Canada today vs Cuba. This is seriously one of the best chances we've had in ages to actually qualify for the World Cup. I praaaaaaaaaaaay we do!!!:)

7 coaches in 6 seasons, yet Ansemlis been in place since day 1. It all starts at the top. He needs to be held accountable.

Excited for the qualifiers, kinda disappointed we're not discussing how much of a complete farce TFC has become under Mariner, it really is quite embarrassing.

Mariner is the least of TFC's problems. Anselmi is. Who btw is now the president and Chief Operating Officer of MLSE

Yeah I agree, Anselmi is target #1 on my list, 6 years of his BS is more then I can handle. Mariner has no clue either though. Why on earth do you bring a short ing bench to kansas, and then refuse to make a single sub when you're fighting for something with 10 mins left. It's all antics with him. Game in game out.
I honestly believe without a shadow of a doubt that if we stuck with Winter we'd be in a far better place right now, at least he had technical knowledge and a philosophy, that was slowly coming together. When we lost games under Winter, a lot of the times we were just unlucky and a few little individual errors cost us. As a team though, we were competitive and should have come away with points. When we lose under Mariner, it's because we've been completely outplayed for 90 mins by teams that make us look so average, at best. 30% possession against Kansas. What a joke.
Also, notice how they swept the Torsten going back to Germany news under the rug? Ummm hello, our captain and designated player is essentially out for the season and you can't even mention it anywhere? Not even a single story on the website or press conference. Ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't come back. The way this organization has treated some of the most gifted players to ever wear our shirt is alarming.
Sorry for the rant, 6 years of losing football will do this. Yet with MLSE, that warrants a promotion for Anselmi. Go figure.

Yep...what started out as an exciting season in March with knocking the Galaxy out of the CCL, has turned into yet another circus. Though I think/feel that if both Frings and Koev were healthy through the whole season, we'd have a better fate right now. Danny was on fire when his knee blew out, the hottest striker in MLS.
At least there are these Canada group qualifiers to look forward to, will help me forget TFC for a bit. I'll def be down there for Friday's match against Panama, should be a good one.
doesn't it piss you off that we are the best mls expansion team of all time and the best team in canada yohan? wop power.

It's frustrating being a TFC fan, but I think Mariner is more than a competent manager. He does have a winning record elsewhere and has turned teams around as well. A coach can only do so much with the talent they're given. The ownership has to step up and I thought they had made some right moves this year, but with Koev and now Frings out, they really have no one to fill in those boots. Further to that, arguably one of the best keepers in Stephen Frei being out the whole season has not helped things either.
I didn't mind Winter, but I like Mariner a lot more. He seems to have a knack for pulling off the tough wins - or at the very least motivating the team to play as such. This team is riddled with youngsters and veterans that are playing hurt or are out for the season - never a good combo.
In other news, I hope Canada serves the Panamanians their hats today and sends them properly packing.

Canada 1-0 Panama
Scrappy game, but a good win. Atmosphere was awesome

If Canada can get something away in Panama on Tuesday, I think they'll move on. That's going to be one scrappy game, looking forward to it.
