Kit Nerd Corner : Toronto away, LA Galaxy home, Chicago home
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Toronto Away In a nutshell : still white without the red chest stripe The outside back collar has : All for One The jock tag position has : a maple leaf Compared to previous kit : slight improvement I long for the day that this kit is something wacky. Something truly bizarre. Like green and purple. Or brown. Or peach (you know, done properly Atlanta). Nothing wrong with white, but lets...
South Couch Report : Los Angeles v Toronto
Part I Write Before The Match : Lol. LA Galaxy are weak. Toronto is the toast of the league. Like you could’ve predicted a reality where this could have happened.

SOUTH COUCH REPORT : MLS Cup Final… or Can’t Both Teams Lose?
Only in North America can you have a summer game’s title match in December. Thankfully, or unfortunately (depending in your levels of schadenfreude), that game is taking place in Los Angeles. Today, the MLS Cup final pits New England against the Galaxy and I almost don’t care except I openly hopped on the Lee Nguyen bandwagon and would like him to win. Also, the Landon Donovan narrative is annoying, tired and overblown....
