  • South Stand Report : Toronto v Chicago

    Umbrella, poncho, back up poncho, wellies, goggles, water wings, I think I’m ready. It’s supposed to be gorgeous out there today, sunny, warm enough, and playing a weak Chicago side.

  • South Stand Report : Toronto v Colorado

    Damn I hate the rain.  I’m on the GO writing this portion of the report and it just started spitting.  Sometimes, just sometimes, it’s just too far to come to stand and get soaked.  If I lived closer, less of complaint. Anyways. #preGameRanting Today is armed forces appreciation day.  It’s the time of year where…

  • South Couch Report : Seattle v Toronto

    Missing ten starters, including six defenders.  3-4-3 formation.  Dempsey is healthy.  This will be an adventure in patience or a test of masochistic limitations. On to the match : 1′ – Of course the wife calls.  10pm on a Saturday night. 6′ – GOAL – Well that’s probably the game winner. Dempsey pops the ball…
