South Traffic Report : Toronto v Kansas City

Yeah it’s late. You see, somebody was trying to actually get to the game on time.  They left early, gave themselves, what they thought was, plenty of time to get down to the stadium.  Who knew that one set of road closures would have screwed up everything. At 3:00 I had exited the Gardiner and was on Park Lawn. By 4:30 I was on the Queensway at Windemere, a whopping 2.3km in 90 minutes.  With another 4.3 km to go, at this rate,...

South Stand Report : Toronto v Orlando

It’s a beautiful day for footy.  Better than the last 5 matches I’ve been to anyways.  Toronto is coming off a confusing sloppy whopping from Boston Minutemen or whatever they’re called.  Doesn’t matter. Orlando somehow beat Columbus over the weekend. You know what, I don’t care about the before right now. I’m in my seats, it’s shaded, 20C, I’ve had some Mexican, just gimme a passable footy...

The South Couch Report : Columbus v Toronto

This day would come. Columbus and their high-flying offense colliding with Toronto’s assassin-like offense (when it’s working). I boldly predicted a high scoring game.  They’ve got Kamara, we’ve got Giovinco.  They’ve got Trapp, we’ve got Giovinco.  They’ve got Higuain, we’ve got Giovinco.  It’s pretty evenly matched. On to the match! 8’ – their Findlay exposes the left side...
