Not a bad hire considering the MLS experience which is a plus.

I’m comparing some of the other stadiums for the 2026 WC, and man Toronto’s has to be the worst. I don’t even know how many times people have asked to have the corners filled in. The roof might as well not even exist because it doesn’t even do anything on the south end.

I know MLSE has said they want to make some changes to the design and make them permanent. Sure this does the job, but it’s a horrible eye sore.

If you’re gonna do something and spend money, do it right the first time.

The temporary bleachers on the South Side are going to be brutal....

In other news, a great add for TFC:

 

Things have come to a head between Toronto FC and Lorenzo Insigne.

Insigne, whose salary of US$15.4 million last season was second only to Lionel Messi in Major League Soccer, has been told that he does not fit in Toronto's style of play under new coach Robin Fraser, said two sources with knowledge of the situation.

The sources, granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, confirmed that Toronto presented the 33-year-old Italian with transfer offers from Italy (Venezia), Spain (Real Valladolid) and Turkey (Sivasspor).

Insigne, whose contract with Toronto runs through June 2026, rejected the moves.

That recalcitrance has prompted Toronto to turn up the heat.

Insigne was not part of first-team lineups in the club's two pre-season games to date and the former Napoli captain is facing a choice — either accept a move or mutual termination of his contract or sit for the duration of the deal.

Transfer options may have to wait until the summer with windows closing in many markets,

Against Colorado on Tuesday in Palm Beach, Fla., Fraser fielded a first-team lineup to start the game, which saw a 30-minute segment tagged on to two 45-minute halves. Insigne came on in the 71st minute.

"At the end of the day, we are looking at all the players and looking at players in different scenarios," Fraser said after the game when asked about Insigne's late participation. "It's just how it worked out."

Insigne was also part of the second unit in TFC's pre-season opener in Spain on Jan. 30, a 1-1 draw with Norway's Norway's Fredrikstad FK.

The fact that the three European clubs willing to take Insigne — with Toronto FC paying a hefty part of his salary — are near the bottom of their respective leagues is proof that the interest in Insigne is modest. But they offer a way out.

What a mess. Transfer window in Europe is closed (I think maybe turkey has it still open?). So where would he even go now? He’s stuck here till the summer at least.
