South Couch Report: Toronto vs Chicago Fire

The Part I Write Before : Well, that whole penalty shootout thing still feels like a kick in the nuts, but anyone suggesting ‘you threw away a bunch of MLS games for nothing’ is very much wrong, that CCL run was well worth it even without silverware and the club world cup to look forward to. Anyway, back to MLS it is. 3 points from 5 games isn’t great obviously, but hey, TFC had 7 points from 6 games to start 2017...

South Couch Report: Toronto vs CD Guadalajara

The part I write before the match: Fuck winter. Yeah, I’m staying home again for this one, biggest game ever or not.

So yeah, here we are, in the fucking final, taking on Chivas MEX as they...

The Part I Write Before The Game: I optimistically bought tickets for this one, but then stupidly went to Saturday’s game and it reminded me of how I don’t like standing out in the cold for hours, and then tonight’s weather forecast got all ‘special weather statement’ and so once again it’s a South Couch report. Kudos to all of you who went, but I’m too old for that shit. Bloody hell, the semi...

The part I write before the game: South Couch Report? goddamn do you ever go to games any more?  Back off, I’m sick (well, more recovering from being sick really, which wasn’t helped by going to Tuesday’s game) and also, fuck you, I went to a game at BMO Field in February! My hardcoriness is proven, I can miss any game now and no-one can say shit! Anyhooo…… Alright, MLS is back, and because they had to...

Is this the real life?

No, it’s just fantasy. Yes, we are once again doing a fantasy league thing, another chance to create a team, impress with a clever team name, make changes week by week and then eventually give up and forget about it 3 weeks in. Pretty much the same format really, the big twist this year is that there’s 2 seasons, they’ve gone all apertura and clausura on us. Presumably they’re hoping all the people that do give...
