The South Stand Report : Toronto v Orlando
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 the weekend. What can I say about this match. Toronto has put forth rather comprehensive matches over the last 180 minutes and I’m quietly excited for...

Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC ~ May 3 ~ 730pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN Game three of Toronto FC’s longest homestand of the season kicks off tonight against Orlando City SC; the current league leaders come into town with a pretty shiny record (five wins at home, one win and one loss on the road), Canadian Cyle Larin has scored some nice goals, Kaka is back and all things seem rosy for Jason Kreis (amen) and the team from the land of...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v Houston
The Part I Write Before The Match : I’m feeling much better about going into this match than the last one. All those fears were unfounded. Man, that was embarassing.

Toronto are coming off the best performance of 2017 thus far, Giovinco nearly bagged a handful, and then was...

Toronto FC vs Houston Dynamo ~ Friday April 28 ~ 730pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN4 Time for some more Friday Night Lights! Can Toronto FC build upon last week’s strong performance and make some moves up the table? Last week’s comprehensive win over the Chicago Fire was a very welcome change of pace for TFC; not only did they score goals and win the game, they looked confident and together doing it. While it’s a bit...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v Chicago
The Part I Write Before The Match : “They need to light a fire under their asses.” “Once they can come together, there will be no stopping them.” [save this space for overused cliché regarding chemistry] The reality is that the match against Columbus was for naught. They looked unimaginative for large chunks of the game aaaaaaand Columbus’ counter-attack was spot on. What do you want from them? (the answer lies somewhere in ‘a better...
Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire: Can TFC Douse The Fire and Get Back On Track?
Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire ~ Friday April 21st ~ 730pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN4 Not since the great fire of 1871 has there been a fire in Chicago this hot (try the veal, I’m here all week). OK, so perhaps that was a slight exaggeration, but remember the Fire team of last year? The team we beat all year, the guaranteed three points the Reds took? Ah the good old days – damn you MLS and your ‘parity’. Seriously...
