  • South Stand(ing in the rain) Report : Toronto v. D.C.

    I should be in a better mood. Who wouldn’t be, after the masterclass of Wednesday night (as far as TFC goes). But then there’s the rain.  Which isn’t as bad as suburban public transit rerouting around your stop without any notification of it.  Which isn’t as bad as the longest train ever at a rail…

  • The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal

    Well that was a bit of a letdown last week.  Thought Toronto had them, but alas, like an elbow to the back of the neck, they went down. Now we’re playing the pathetically abysmal Montreal Impa… whuh? 17 pts you say? 5-5-2?  SINCE F’ING WHEN?!!?! Full disclosure : I don’t care about Montreal win-or-lose, I…

  • South Stand Report : DeRo Testimonial & Toronto FC v NYCFC

    Well this was a long day. Not necessarily a bad one, just long. The Dwayne DeRosario Testimonial match was a fun affair. A bunch of legends with varying degrees of legendaryness suited up in a Canadians v non-Canadians.  Non-Canadians won 3-1, with Dichio bagging one and DeRo bagging the other three.  For whatever reason, the…

  • The South Couch Report : Toronto Barca Canada v D.C. Juve China (mash-up edition)

    OMG So much delicious footie yesterday.  I passed out by the end of it.  I really couldn’t take any more.  With my adrenaline dumping, I figured this report could wait until tomorrow morning. Here’s what I remember : 3′ – off of a free kick, Buchanan gets two big attempts on the far left of…

    After surviving the threats of storm, the gang is all here to discuss San Jose, some of the side stories that came out of TFC, a little bit about FIFA and look ahead to D.C. United.

  • The South Stand Report : Toronto v. San Jose

    What a week. Controversy, DeRo retiring formally (and properly), FIFA corruption, multiple exhibitions, and to come down from an exciting week of Football… Toronto v.  San Jose.  Muggy.  In a lightning storm. A strong argument could’ve been made to stay home.  Hell, a weak one could’ve been successful as well.  But no, as a junkie,…
