  • The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus

    The Part I Write Before The Match : So last time we played Columbus, I was very concerned about a kid named Hansen who burned Toronto for a pair of pretty passes.  Last game he didn’t do much, however… I don’t trust him.  That being said, Justin Meram is playing well. Let’s be honest, Columbus…

    The Part I Write Before The Match : It’s V-Cup time!  Seriously, I’m excited. I’m mostly excited because soon there will more than 5 teams *gasp!*.  Can you even imagine a national cup with more than 5 teams?  You can?  I guess if you count every other country, sure.

    The South Stand Report : Toronto v Minnesota

    The Part I Write Before The Match : Five wins in a row. Hell, I’d have been thrilled with 2 points from the last two games instead​ of all points. Well done. We’ve learned a few important things from the last few games : the Robins have deep depth and Vanney is more tactically astute…

    South Couch Report : Columbus v Toronto

    I can tell you my brilliant idea of squad rotation of Giovinco in/Altidore resting didn’t happen. I was sure I had nailed it. To be fair, I’m on with it as Altidore is on fire. This is still good. Bono and Chapman enter the mix with healthy equivalents on the bench, so there’s optimism in…

    The South Couch Report : Seattle v Toronto

    The Part I Write Before The Match : So Vanney has opted to rest Vazquez, Giovinco, Beitashour and some others.  Probably for the best. I’m not expecting much from this road trip since a home stand including a Wednesday home game and an upcoming Wednesday road game. Guys, the Canadian Premier League is for realz.…

    The Part I Write Before The Match : For once, weather gods have been kind to us with this respite from precipitation to give us some lovely football weather.  I only mention this as an opening salvo as it’s been raining the last few days, and will rain for the next few days, well into…
