    The South Stand Report : Toronto v Portland

      The Part I Write Before The Match : I honestly don’t know what to put here. I expect Toronto to field a good team. Portland will do the same. Hopefully it doesn’t rain. Um… No lightning delays either. Toronto came off a less than good outing against a very underachieving, bottom of the table…

    The South Couch Report : DC v Toronto

    The Part I Write Before The Match : Well, the line-ups are out and Toronto are not about to phone it in against the bottom side. The only change is the debut of new signing and Liechtenstein international, No. 26 Nicolas Hasler, and his timing couldn’t be more perfect with Beitashour still out and Alseth…

    The South Stand Report : Toronto v Colorado

    The Part I Write Before The Match : Anything can happen, it seems. An undermanned Toronto can somehow hold their mettle to steal a point in historic legendary Yankee Stadium missing too much of their first team. So why not a thumping of Colorado. Bold Predictions : Colorado wearing their buttery Sweden kits Vazquez man…

    South Couch Report : New York v Toronto

    Long day. No predictions. No insight.  I called for a win on the road.  Ambitious, I know. On To The Match : 12’ – GOAL – Ball finds its way into the box, first hit cross by Spencer, full volley to Ashtone Morgan, and buries it like a pro for his first goal and Kristin…

  • The South Couch Report : Orlando v Toronto

    The South Couch Report : Orlando v Toronto

    The Part I Write Before The Match : Got home late.  No time!   Bold Predictions : Larin scores Toronto wins Vazquez is amazing On to the Match : 18’ – GOAL – Giovinco takes a ball from Delgado, cuts a pretty pass through four defenders to Altidore, one touch to settle, one to put…

  • The South Couch Report : Dallas v Toronto

    The South Couch Report : Dallas v Toronto

    The Part I Write Before The Match : I have to believe that this is the game where we come back down to reality.  I’m not saying that it’s the match where they get hammered into dust, just, you know, lose.  It’s more playing the numbers and the odds rather than a pessimism towards Toronto.…

    The South Stand Report : Toronto v New England

    The Part I Write Before The Match : It’s Pride night.  Still hoping that it’s more than patronizing than the usual ‘theme pandering night’ that takes place. Today has been crap already. It’s humid. It’s raining (as of time of writing this part). There’s an 8pm kick-off. Sucky day so far (with the exception of…

    The South Couch Report – New England v Toronto

    I have no predictions, as I was busy.  And I’ll be fair, I know how it ended (thanks Twitter!) but as a “respected” “journalist” and “blogger” [Added the quotes, you’re welcome ~Ed.], a match report will be filed. On to the Match : 3’ – Rowe has a go forcing Bono to make a lunging…

  • The South Stand Report : Toronto v Ottawa

    The Part I Write Before The Match : OK, so the last time we played Ottawa, they won.  They shouldn’t have, on paper, but they did on turf and deservedly so.  The mighty Robins bounced back considerably after that performance and showed some of that #deepestDepthEver that we’ve been hearing about, given that they looked…

  • The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus

    The Part I Write Before The Match : So last time we played Columbus, I was very concerned about a kid named Hansen who burned Toronto for a pair of pretty passes.  Last game he didn’t do much, however… I don’t trust him.  That being said, Justin Meram is playing well. Let’s be honest, Columbus…
