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 gang is all here to talk about the cup glory in Vancouver, the draw against Seattle, look ahead to Chicago, the transfer window and the usual silliness.

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…

The South Couch Report : Orlando v Toronto
You know what I’m glad to be doing? Watching a game and the air conditioning is on. #bragging Toronto has been less than convincing on the pitch. Scoring has been dry so it’s hard to be optimistic that they’ll light up the scoreboard. Cheyrou has been a rock in the midfield, as has Moor in…

Episode 142 – 16/06/23 #BaborioOrOsouli
The gang is all here to review not one, but two matches, look ahead to Orlando and so much more. In this episode, Duncan is apparently bored with the Atomic Ant, Mark’s favourite moment from a match was himself (sort of), Tony harkens back to crappy fireworks of days gone by and Kristin loves the…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Vancouver, Voyageurs Cup Edition, Round 1, FIGHT!
What has two thumbs and loves a cup tie? This guy. (now picture me pointing both my thumbs at myself with a grin) Toronto are more than likely still flying high after the heady win over Los Angeles on the weekend. Hopefully not too hung-over (or dehydrated for that matter) to deal with Vancouver. The…

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…
