The South Stand Report : Toronto v Seattle
Why can’t I be injured for either an unknown amount of time or 6-8 weeks. All the cool kids are out 6 weeks. Irwin. Bradley. National Cup Hero Wil Johnson. Even Altidore. I’d like a paid vacation, hobbling around with a lower body injury. OK, maybe not, but the point is a vacation. So Toronto is hurting, physically and Seattle is hurting, fundamentally. One win and five losses in their last six matches, with a 2-0 away win to DC a...
South Stand Report : Toronto v Los Angeles
Welcome to Toronto. Dysfunctional weather patterns since 1992. Damn it’s steamy. So MLS had a demi-break until half the Copa America was done, which was so necessary, apparently. It’s OK MLS, I wasn’t going to watch it, since Canada wasn’t included so keep your tournament. Maybe next time I’ll give a damn. Tonight, the slipping LA Galaxy are in town with Steven Gerrard… not playing tonight....
The South Couch Report : Montreal v Toronto, V-Cup Edition, Part II
Well this is thrilling. Cup glory awaits… Well, the next round anyways. The kids did just fine last week, but that was at home. Hell, one of the goal scorers probably woke up in his childhood bedroom the next day (not that there’s anything wrong with that, have you seen real estate prices in this town?). This is Montreal. They speak French (in certain neighbourhoods) there! That’s very different. One change has...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus
Are they sputtering? Stalling? Misfiring? It’s so difficult to wrap my head around it. Toronto and not look bad but they haven’t exactly looked great, and we’re expecting them to be great. We all know they have the potential to be great. I don’t know about the players, but three games in eight days is exhausting. That’s a lot of 50/50 tickets. Bold Predictions : Some asshats going on about “rivals” More...
The South Stand Report – Toronto v New York City
I’m still tingling from the funnest game of recent memory, the Vancouver loss from the weekend. Why can’t they all be like that (results notwithstanding)? NYC is tied for first in the eastern conference winners of their last three, David Villa has as many goals as Giovinco, and somehow Pirlo is still playing. Will we see Lampard play? (answer : don’t care). Really I should just cut and paste this preview right here, but I’m lazy to...
