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 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…

Now we’re playing the pathetically abysmal Montreal Impa… whuh? 17 pts you say? 5-5-2? SINCE F’ING WHEN?!!?! Full disclosure : I don’t care about Montreal win-or-lose, I…

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…
