The South Couch Report : Orlando v Toronto
You know what I’m glad to be doing? Watching a game and the air conditioning is on. #bragging Toronto has been less than convincing on the pitch. Scoring has been dry so it’s hard to be optimistic that they’ll light up the scoreboard. Cheyrou has been a rock in the midfield, as has Moor in…

Episode 142 – 16/06/23 #BaborioOrOsouli
The gang is all here to review not one, but two matches, look ahead to Orlando and so much more. In this episode, Duncan is apparently bored with the Atomic Ant, Mark’s favourite moment from a match was himself (sort of), Tony harkens back to crappy fireworks of days gone by and Kristin loves the…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Vancouver, Voyageurs Cup Edition, Round 1, FIGHT!
What has two thumbs and loves a cup tie? This guy. (now picture me pointing both my thumbs at myself with a grin) Toronto are more than likely still flying high after the heady win over Los Angeles on the weekend. Hopefully not too hung-over (or dehydrated for that matter) to deal with Vancouver. The…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Los Angeles
Welcome to Toronto. Dysfunctional weather patterns since 1992. Damn it’s steamy. So MLS had a demi-break until half the Copa America was done, which was so necessary, apparently. It’s OK MLS, I wasn’t going to watch it, since Canada wasn’t included so keep your tournament. Maybe next time I’ll give a damn. Tonight, the slipping…

The South Couch Report : Montreal v Toronto, V-Cup Edition, Part II
Well this is thrilling. Cup glory awaits… Well, the next round anyways. The kids did just fine last week, but that was at home. Hell, one of the goal scorers probably woke up in his childhood bedroom the next day (not that there’s anything wrong with that, have you seen real estate prices in this…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal, V-Cup Edition
A famous pundit once said “You can’t win anything with kids”. And that pundit was spot on as Manchester United went on to lose 5 more games at the end of that season. Sure they won 25 other games after that, and the league, but you can’t deny the truth that kids suck at football.…
