The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus
Are they sputtering? Stalling? Misfiring? It’s so difficult to wrap my head around it. Toronto and not look bad but they haven’t exactly looked great, and we’re expecting them to be great. We all know they have the potential to be great. I don’t know about the players, but three games in eight days is…

The South Stand Report – Toronto v New York City
I’m still tingling from the funnest game of recent memory, the Vancouver loss from the weekend. Why can’t they all be like that (results notwithstanding)? NYC is tied for first in the eastern conference winners of their last three, David Villa has as many goals as Giovinco, and somehow Pirlo is still playing. Will we…

The South Stand Report – Toronto v Vancouver
Full disclosure #1 : I don’t know anything about soccer. Michael Bradley said it. He wasn’t speaking to me specifically, but he was. Altidore defence was running on full blast from the professional media, while most of the non-media that I saw weren’t having it. So if you don’t like Altidore, you’re likely reading this…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Dallas
I’m not gonna lie to you all, I didn’t really feel like doing a match report. I wanted to take it in. The atmosphere, the new canopies, a crowd that actually looked like a sell-out. Also, I wanted to take in MY FC Dallas. To both of our faithful podcast listeners (speculative, but likely accurate),…

The South Couch Report : Portland v Toronto
Well I’m glad this is almost over. It feels like it’s been forever since we started on this road trip. 90 more minutes in Portland, then it’s a week until we’re home. At last. Then we get to see what they did to the stadium. And then mock it. Toronto has been punching above their…
