South Traffic Report : Toronto v Kansas City
Yeah it’s late. You see, somebody was trying to actually get to the game on time. They left early, gave themselves, what they thought was, plenty of time to get down to the stadium. Who knew that one set of road closures would have screwed up everything. At 3:00 I had exited the Gardiner and…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Orlando
It’s a beautiful day for footy. Better than the last 5 matches I’ve been to anyways. Toronto is coming off a confusing sloppy whopping from Boston Minutemen or whatever they’re called. Doesn’t matter. Orlando somehow beat Columbus over the weekend. You know what, I don’t care about the before right now. I’m in my seats,…

The South Couch Report : Columbus v Toronto
This day would come. Columbus and their high-flying offense colliding with Toronto’s assassin-like offense (when it’s working). I boldly predicted a high scoring game. They’ve got Kamara, we’ve got Giovinco. They’ve got Trapp, we’ve got Giovinco. They’ve got Higuain, we’ve got Giovinco. It’s pretty evenly matched. On to the match! 8’ – their Findlay exposes…

The South Couch Report : Toronto v Philadelphia
Today I am a part time supporter. I admit it. I am in the comfort of my home in the hinterlands of suburbia. It’s a culmination of reasons that no reasonable supporter would understand. So we’ll go with “weakness towards the heat and humidity”. Toronto welcome back the Gold Cuppers of Osorio, Morgan and Altidore.…

South Couch Report : New York City v Toronto
It’s game day and while last week Toronto was abused by one Designated Player based by the Pacific Ocean, now they get a chance to be terrorized by a Designated Player based near the Atlantic. Last time the Robins faced NYCFC, the David Villa show was all that was needed (that and beating the hell…

South Couch Report : Los Angeles v Toronto
Finally a week off from doing the stupidest commute ever. Nobody should need to take that much public transit to get to a footy match. Now I have the comfort of a couch in a basement and no concern if there’s a roof or not, midges, gnats, mosquitoes, rain, lightning, thunder, floods, uprising. Safety. Ahhhhh……

South Stand(ing in the rain) Report : Toronto v. D.C.
I should be in a better mood. Who wouldn’t be, after the masterclass of Wednesday night (as far as TFC goes). But then there’s the rain. Which isn’t as bad as suburban public transit rerouting around your stop without any notification of it. Which isn’t as bad as the longest train ever at a rail…

South Stand Report : DeRo Testimonial & Toronto FC v NYCFC
Well this was a long day. Not necessarily a bad one, just long. The Dwayne DeRosario Testimonial match was a fun affair. A bunch of legends with varying degrees of legendaryness suited up in a Canadians v non-Canadians. Non-Canadians won 3-1, with Dichio bagging one and DeRo bagging the other three. For whatever reason, the…

South Stand Report : Toronto v. Portland
What a week. Full of emotions, frustrations and secretive deals and negotiations, years of broken promises, misleading statements, and it finally came to a head. The Leafs signed Babcock. Kidding, fuck the Leafs. Pointyball is getting shoehorned into our once soccer specific stadium. (seriously, fuck them) So now that that dog and pony show has…

South Couch Report : Philadelphia v Toronto
One game win streak! Hottest club in MLS! Altidore for MVP! Sometimes I just can’t help it. Sometimes it just writes itself. This is the final game of the club made for TV as next weekend is a home game. I miss going out to the park. Misfit football at times, but I love game…
