The South Stand Report – Toronto v Vancouver
Full disclosure #1 : I don’t know anything about soccer. Michael Bradley said it. He wasn’t speaking to me specifically, but he was. Altidore defence was running on full blast from the professional media, while most of the non-media that I saw weren’t having it. So if you don’t like Altidore, you’re likely reading this “report” which also means you don’t know anything about soccer either. Clearly. Full...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v Dallas
I’m not gonna lie to you all, I didn’t really feel like doing a match report. I wanted to take it in. The atmosphere, the new canopies, a crowd that actually looked like a sell-out. Also, I wanted to take in MY FC Dallas. To both of our faithful podcast listeners (speculative, but likely accurate), this team has been dubbed mine as I kinda didn’t like them. I very much hated them. Dario Sala had a smirk on his face for a keeper that...
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. It’s a struggle to be upset at them for their...
The South Couch Report : Montreal v Toronto
Naps are the best, aren’t they? They’re a great mid-day recharge, and they help when you’re looking forward to yet another away match and not entirely optimistic. Montreal has a good home record, but this is the first one outside at home. Totally not a dome scenario. Toronto stole the last game, can they thieve a second one in a row? On to the Match : 1’ – Sorry napping. No really. 6’ – dreamt that I...
The South Couch Report : DC v Toronto
Dontcha hate it when your opponent really catches fire just before you see them at home? Ugh. Toronto had a snoozer last week where the stole a point against New England. Hopefully this will be significantly less boring. I don’t think I could take it. I’ve taken a nap, I have my slurpee and I’ve got a bottle of tequila ready to add to that slurpee, if necessary. On to the match : 1’ – GOAL – Altidore picks up a cross,...
