The South Couch Report : Ottawa v Toronto
The Part I Write Before The Match : It’s V-Cup time! Seriously, I’m excited. I’m mostly excited because soon there will more than 5 teams *gasp!*. Can you even imagine a national cup with more than 5 teams? You can? I guess if you count every other country, sure. Toronto is coming off of their…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Minnesota
The Part I Write Before The Match : Five wins in a row. Hell, I’d have been thrilled with 2 points from the last two games instead of all points. Well done. We’ve learned a few important things from the last few games : the Robins have deep depth and Vanney is more tactically astute…

South Couch Report : Columbus v Toronto
I can tell you my brilliant idea of squad rotation of Giovinco in/Altidore resting didn’t happen. I was sure I had nailed it. To be fair, I’m on with it as Altidore is on fire. This is still good. Bono and Chapman enter the mix with healthy equivalents on the bench, so there’s optimism in…

The South Couch Report : Seattle v Toronto
The Part I Write Before The Match : So Vanney has opted to rest Vazquez, Giovinco, Beitashour and some others. Probably for the best. I’m not expecting much from this road trip since a home stand including a Wednesday home game and an upcoming Wednesday road game. Guys, the Canadian Premier League is for realz.…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Houston
The Part I Write Before The Match : I’m feeling much better about going into this match than the last one. All those fears were unfounded. Man, that was embarassing. This match, we have to deal with Houston, who are shooting out the lights… when they’re at home and on the road haven’t earned a…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Chicago
The Part I Write Before The Match : “They need to light a fire under their asses.” “Once they can come together, there will be no stopping them.” [save this space for overused cliché regarding chemistry] The reality is that the match against Columbus was for naught. They looked unimaginative for large chunks of the…

South Couch Report : Columbus v Toronto
I want to make a pun of “Toronto will be missing the heart of the defense with Moor being out”, but that would be tacky. Thought of it, but won’t put it. Moor is out and now the mystery of how will they handle the lack of back line leadership will be addressed tonight. The…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Atlanta
Atlanta is like a new wrestling stable that appears out of nowhere and just start turning heads, making a name for themselves and racking up the wins. Oh sure, it’s not like they’re going to headline WrestleMania win MLS Cup or even SummerSlam go deep into the playoffs, but they’ll win the Intercontinental Championship make…
