Juby Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I suppose the best team in MLS in retrospect was the big money Canadian squad, De Guzman, De Rosario, Ali Gerba etc. when they lost big against New York at the end. My favourite might honestly be the Aron Winter squad that made the semi finals but couldn't catch a win in MLS, kind of a silly topic but I'm curious about what the faithful (ie not so much me) think of the ride so far?

TFC07 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Aron Winter's CCL team was the most exciting team I have ever watch in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deschamp86 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Aron Winter's CCL team was the most exciting team I have ever watch in Toronto. Agreed. I still think Winter should have been kept around longer. His only problem was that he underestimated MLS (and Mariner didn't seem to help). Also would have been good if he showed some adaptability and used a different system until he had the players necessary to play his system instead of jamming it down their throats.

madmonte Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I loved the DeRo version of the team. People in Toronto are always (justifiably, often) critical of their sports teams and players. For me, when he was playing, De Rosario practically became underrated by a fan base that preferred to lavish praise on players like Dan Gargan.

Keegan Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Favourite squad had to be late 2010 when DeRo was leading the charge with Nicholas Lindsay getting some starts. Man that kid was good when he came in, shame what happened to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that kid was good when he came in, shame what happened to him. Lindsay has decent stats in the current CSL season. I still have hopes for him.

Ivan Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 My favourite squad was the Dichio-Brennan lead squad in 2007. No expectations. All the rest have been disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescottc Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 My favourite squad was the Dichio-Brennan lead squad in 2007. No expectations. All the rest have been disappointing. I'd have to agree. Personally, I've never been as emotionally invested in any squad we've had since. The Canadian quota certainly had something to do with that.

Blackdude Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 My favourite squad was the one that Ryan Nelsen put on May 1st 2013. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, as a caps fan. I can remember watching every televised TFC game that year. There was an aura around that season that help intoxicate the country towards footy.

There was an aura around that season that help intoxicate the country towards footy. Also the U20 World Cup helped intoxicate the country. ahh 2007 a good year. Gold Cup semis and high hopes for footy in canada in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchteveTown Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I really liked the 2019 squad - the first year we made the playoffs... seven Ontario boys on the pitch in the Cup final... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red and White Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 My favourite era to date has been the John Carver period, when I think TFC was at their most competitive. It was highlighted when DeRo, Amado Guevarra, and Stephan Frei were leaders on the team. I even had patience for guys like Chad Barrett. I believe it was the squad that one their first Canadian Championship and actually made a playoff run (which ended in disaster on a soggy night against the Red Bulls). They were doing thing right until then, slowly getting more and more competitive and filling holes since year one. Then, in year 4, they felt the need to blow it up and start over. Long story short, they've blown up 3-4 squads since then. Thank you Preki for getting the ball rolling on that. Replacing guys like Guevarra with the likes of Maxim Usanov. If Carver stayed a bit longer, I think TFC would have progressed into a legit playoff team. Some like him, others don't. I thought he was building a solid MLS team.
