The opening weekend of MLS is upon us, and in the spirit of new beginnings it seemed a good time to introduce a new feature here at Waking the Red: the MLS Open Thread.
With Toronto FC just one of the now 22 clubs in the league and a flurry of matches each weekend not involving them, fans in Toronto need a place where they can watch the games together, share observations and perhaps the occasional joke, as required.
In that spirit we invite you to tune into the matches and congregate here for some chatter.
