No Texas storms are stopping ESSU this week. After pulling the 'chute last weekend, and arguably missing out on what would have been nothing more than an obnoxious whinge-fest, we are back relishing a 2-0 victory over Orlando City. Out of the opening seven games of 2015, this was one were most would have marked down a win, yet there have been intangibles seen that make it difficult to say with confidence the team walk away with a positive resutl (referees, glaring mistakes, injuries). However, with Aaron Neilsen (@ENBSports) on the pod, his statistical and analytical perspective brings some balance in that given TFC's quality, a match against an expansion-side of Orlando's caliber should always result in three points. As well, if one is realistic in assessing the opposition and where Toronto are in their development, the results earned so far put Toronto right where they should be at this stage. While not TFC-specific, the CONCACAF Champions League is discussed and how Montreal have gone about building their side and long-term sustainability. Finally, we run over Aaron's newest project, Prospect Eleven, which will target the top up-and-coming Canadian footballers, and wrap up looking forward to Philadelphia next weekend and the home opener against Houston.
