South Couch Report : DC v Toronto

The Part I Write Before : Man, how long has it been? A meaningless match. How complacent have we all been with this that we forgot hahahahahahaha… We’ll never forget. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll always enjoy, at the very least, chasing the last playoff spot, but this season has been one oversized shrug. DC have been killing it since Rooney’s arrival, from the foot of the table, currently sitting in sixth,...

South Couch Report : San Jose v Toronto

Part I Write Before The Match : If there’s a chance for Toronto to get three points tonight, you have to believe that this is it. No Seba starting tonight, no problem?

TSN is showing Janson highlight package. If he’s twice as good as Aketxe, then he...

The Part I Write Before : Man, this is the second big game Atlanta is hosting in a week! Lucky! First they got MLS All-Stars vs. Juventus B, and now Atlanta v your reigning MLS Cup Champions!

Constructs of the patriarchy? Yes. Toronto...

South Couch Report : Kansas City v Toronto

The Part I Write Before : This is the second week in a row where we’ve been ‘treated’ to the McFlurry dessert of MLS (and specifically this version of Toronto) after the gourmet steak dinner of the World Cup. After the emotional rollercoaster of the game on Wednesday vs Minnesota (apologies, schedule was insane), I cannot imagine as dysfunctional a game as that for the second match in a row. Expectation level is...

South Couch Report – NYC v Toronto

The Part I Write Before : I don’t know if you all are like me, but I for one am relieved with Major League Soccer being back on television. Like that World Cup thing is just a pretentious mess. There’s no salary caps. There’s no TAM. There’s no GAM. And with a distinct lack of MLS players in the World Cup, how uninteresting is it? Very. Feels like it’s been forever, but hopefully very long Corner was...
