Does anyone think Ali Ahmed's hamstring was 100% today? Do we think Moise Bombito is pain free in his leg? I feel for Phonzie. Truly. He seems to be in a dark place. But let's stop making excuses. It's the fucking World Cup. What more important game are you resting for?
Iโve been to four World Cup marchs now.
This #USMNT one is solid, the horses are cool and the crowd is decent โ but thereโs very little chanting, no smoke and overall less hype.
Puts into perspective the level Vancouverโs #CanMNT one was on yesterday.
When I hear the words "Where's Wingo" for #TFCLive this is the image in my head...
Diomande now Wingo, We have got so many transfers really wrong over the last few years
Really feel for Toronto FC. Just absolutely ravaged by injuries.
Both DPs (Sargent, Mihailovic), three key TAM players (Laryea, Cifuentes, and Pereira), 2025 leading scorer (Corbeanu) and more.
What are they supposed to do?
Federico Bernardeschi, October 2022: "It was not a good season. We don't have playoffs and this for me is not good."
Federico Bernardeschi, May 2023: "I think this city, the fans, everybody, don't deserve this."
John Herdman, June 2024: "For the fans, we personally apologize. We werenโt at the level tonight. Weโre too soft. Iโve never been this disappointed in 30 years of my coaching career.โ
Jonathan Osorio, Oct 2024: "We killed ourselves the whole season. We did it again today. Just not good enough."
John Herdman, Oct 2024: "No excuses. Just not good enough."
Federico Bernardeschi, Oct 2024: "I was sure we were gonna make it this year, but I was wrong. I owe it to you all for giving me so much."
Lorenzo Insigne, Oct 2024: "I'm sorry I couldn't achieve greater results, as our fans truly deserve."
Jonathan Osorio, Nov 2025: "I didn't do a good job of balancing trying to lead this team and making sure that I'm performing."
Keith Pelley, May 2025: "We hear you. We understand your frustration. We will stop at nothing to restore the pride in the Toronto FC badge."
Raheem Edwards, Feb 2026: "I feel embarrassed. I feel sorry for the fans. I just want to apologize."
Osorio, May 2026: โI really feel disappointed, a little bit of embarrassment. On behalf of the team, to the fans, we are very sorry. It was not a result or a performance worthy of this club.โ #CanChamp #TFCLive
