Recap: Late equalizer steals draw for Toronto FC
Well, that’s something. It was a fairly frustrating night at BMO Field on Friday for Toronto FC, but a heroic late equalizer from Jordan Hamilton saved a point at home as they drew Sporting Kansas City, 2-2. The frustration began in the 25th minute, when the referee gave SKC a penalty for this: The foul that led to the SKC's opener from the spot.... that's a tough call. #TFCLive pic.twitter.com/uQKPehdwdt— Mitchell Tierney (@mitchelltierney) June 7, 2019 The initial call was a foul outside the box (which was a soft one to begin with), but a VAR check led the referee to believe...

Game thread: Toronto FC back home for Sporting KC clash
Some goals would be nice. It’s been 34 days since Toronto FC last won a game. They’re 0-4-2 in the six matches they’ve played since they beat Orlando City on May 4. Last time we saw them (if you were still awake), they were nicking a stoppage-time equalizing goal in Vancouver so that it wasn’t quite a complete waste of time staying up for that late-night fixture. The Reds finally had some good news this week, as they announced the signing of Omar Gonzalez, but he won’t get in the lineup until July. In fact, it’s going to be another under-strength squad for Greg Vanney’s...

Predicting Toronto FC’s lineup against Sporting Kansas City
Changes are coming The Gold Cup could not have come at a worse time for Toronto FC. Winless in six games, the Reds are in the middle of their worst spell of the season, and have lost a few of their key players to the Gold Cup. Jonathan Osorio, Ashtone Morgan, Noble Okello, Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore, and the recently-signed Omar Gonzalez are all with their national teams. This leaves some starting spots open throughout the pitch, allowing some bench players to get some increased minutes. Goalkeeper Quentin Westberg Although I think it’s time for Alex Bono to get another chance, I...
