The South Stand Report : Toronto v Chicago (season finale)

It’s the season finale! Can Altidore and Ricketts find time for one another and make the magic happen? Is Vanney only wearing pink, salmon, and all shades in between? Will Will willingly get a will (in case he get’s off’d)? And which character are they going to kill off? Hope there isn’t a cliffhanger and, more importantly, hope it doesn’t end poorly like last season. Almost didn’t care if the show was renewed after that...

The South Couch Report : Montreal v Toronto

Last two games of the season and there’s a legitimate chance to finish top 2. Seba is back. Probably win by 4, right? So Didier Drogba isn’t playing. Well that will certainly speed up the game significantly. Likely keep the team physio bored tonight. Bold Predictions : Seba play Seba goal Seba wins On to the Match : 5’ – Cooper had a go and pops it over the top far corner. 8’ – Piatti beats Beitashour and...

Spoiler alert : Just in case you weren’t aware of it, I write the first part before the game (for realzies) and the rest of it in order.  You will see my optimism wane, as I’m sure anyone else’s did, as the match went on. The Ex. A tradition that has been around for 134 years. A winning football club. A tradition that has been around for nearly a week and a half. Or so it feels like. I’m still in disbelief. And...

The South Couch Report : Orlando v Toronto

I’m kinda relieved that this Wednesday game is away. I like home games and all, but sometimes you just wanna lay on the couch, wear your feeted jammie-jams (you know what I’m talking about) and curl up with a cider or three to watch the footie. The purples (why hasn’t that caught on yet?) have one win in their last ten matches. But all streaks must come to an end and, well, even as supremely talented as Toronto...
