The South Stand Report : Toronto v New England
After what can only be described as an “interesting” performance, Toronto is on a win streak. Moreso, they’re on a home win streak, and they’re unbeaten at home in their last 10 matches. I know, I’m shocked too, and I went to them all. Not to be outdone, the Tea Terrorists TM road form isn’t anything…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Salt Lake
You guys! OMG you guys! We’re going to win the league! Everything is amazing you guys! I love Toron… *needle scratch* Whaddoya mean Cheyrou is out with a hamstring injury? Gah… I know, I know, he wasn’t there for the 3-0 beating to Columbus anyways, but I figure it’s a bit of coasting if you…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus
The manufactured cup. So unimportant and uninspiring to me and many others, I’m not even capitalizing it. Trophies are nice but meaningful trophies get me amped. This is not one of them. Nonetheless, it is a long weekend and the weather is cooperating so Hooray! A game! Toronto FC are coming off the Mr. Hyde…

South Stand Report : Toronto v D.C.
Well this is a delight. Due to extreme heat, I’ve ditched the surely heat stroke-inducing weather of a golf tournament and opted for the live theatre of sport and spectating. #noRegrets Being on the road, I had the pleasure of missing the San Jose debacle and spending 45+ minutes yelling at a television in Pittsburgh.…

South Stand Report – Toronto v Chicago
A little humid, but with a cool breeze. Damp, but it rained lightly. Feels like it’s gonna be a nice night for a football match. I don’t need to update you on a preview because you did your homework reading Kristin’s write up. Chicago is terrible with a bunch of unknown players, and Toronto is…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
