PawedCast Episode 413: Toronto FC Preview with James Grossi and More

Orlando City hosts Toronto FC Saturday night and it’ll be the first of two meetings. A lot has changed with Toronto, so we invited an expert to join us and answer our questions about the Reds. James Grossi, beat writer for TFC’s official website (torontofc.ca), jumps on with us right away and we ask all about John Herdman’s style, how he’s gotten the team’s Italian stars to buy in, and much more. Big thanks to James for his time.

This week’s mailbagbox was a little light, but it did have one intriguing question…at least to us. We gave it the thoughtful answer it deserved. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.

Finally, we turned our attention to our Toronto FC preview, looking at the leaders on the team and selecting our key matchups for Saturday night’s game as well as our score predictions. Will the Lions keep their unbeaten run going or will TFC spoil the party?
