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…

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),…

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…

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…

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…

The South Couch Report : New England v Toronto
I wonder how the Ref is gonna Fagundez us tonight? Kidding, they’re beyond criticism. Toronto lines up in a 4-4-2 and in their away kit. Because all red clashes with navy and white. Sure. New England have Alex Bunbury’s son. On to the match : 2’ – Lee Nguyen gets a gift from the defenders…

South Couch Report : Mexico v Canada II – The Mexining
Mexico v Canada. 10:30pm. Seriously? So here’s the confession for tonight : I may be part time supporter. If they’re getting bested, or I fade on the couch, I’m going to bed. I got that work thing in the morning and if it’s an incomplete report, so be it. Good shot of the Voyageurs travelling.…

South Couch Report : Kansas City v Toronto
Stupid Sporting KC Wiz. Their stupid home graph paper kits and their stupid team with Dom Dwyer. So much stupid here. Toronto is in Children Mercy Park, which is a terrible name that is supposedly known as “The Blue Hell”. Any park for a kid’s mercy it probably a shade of hell. The good news…

South Couch Report : NYC v Toronto
Undefeated, top of the table, highly unlikely. These are all phrases used to describe Toronto FC. Today the indomitable Robins take on the only team in New York at the tiny confines of Estadio del Yankees. After stealing all the points from the only team in New Jersey, you can’t help but be a wee…

MLS Cup : Portland v Columbus… or #CardsAgainstMLS
So MLS Cup happened. To say that we here at the Vocal Minority were invested in this match, would be a loose definition of the word “invested”. Sure, Toronto FC is in the league, and this is the league final, but to be fair this club is so far away from being a participant, it…
