  • The South Couch Report : Toronto Barca Canada v D.C. Juve China (mash-up edition)

    OMG So much delicious footie yesterday.  I passed out by the end of it.  I really couldn’t take any more.  With my adrenaline dumping, I figured this report could wait until tomorrow morning. Here’s what I remember : 3′ – off of a free kick, Buchanan gets two big attempts on the far left of…

Controversy, DeRo retiring formally (and properly), FIFA corruption, multiple exhibitions, and to come down from an exciting week of Football… Toronto v.  San Jose.  Muggy.  In a lightning storm.

    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…
