Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers: Will It Be Timber To The Visitors, Or A Chainsaw Massacre?

Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers ~ August 12th ~ 6pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN2 If a Portland teams falls at BMO and there’s no one around is it still a loss?  Trick question, even in the dark times BMO Field was never empty.  Lame attempts at joking/philosophising aside, this afternoon’s (is 6pm still afternoon?  This evening?), match against Portland should be more to Toronto’s liking; playing a top team on the upswing,...

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 weight as far as road warrior expectations, already bagging 11 points.
