For Toronto FC, I don’t think anyone could have dreamt up a better scenario than what transpired at CenturyLink on Saturday afternoon in Seattle. Jermain Defoe opened his MLS and Toronto FC scoring account with not one, but two, perfectly placed goals in the most clinical and composed fashion I’ve seen in a […]

If nothing else, the matchup between the Seattle Sounders and TFC gave us all a good idea who very well might win the Golden Boot this season: Jermain Defoe. Behind his brace, TFC withstood an excellent second-half recovery by the Sounders to secure a 2-1 victory at Century Link Field. For Sounders […]

Gaston Fernandez earned his first ever log slice last Saturday to earn the Timbers a point at home. La Gata's stoppage time goal made up for Jack McInerney’s header in the 64th minute. This week, Portland faces a similarly dangerous striker in Mike Magee of the Chicago Fire, if he plays that is. The Fire […]

FC Edmonton did everything they were expected to in 2013. They finished middle of the pack in the standings, were the most difficult team to score on and had trouble finding the back of the net. They were essentially draw specialists, not exactly by design but more by default. They set up in a very […]
