The South Couch Report : Real Salt Lake v Toronto FC
I’m so excited, it seems like it’s been forever. Sure, key guys are out for various reasons, but this is the big time. This is a make or break scenario. What happens here is a clear indication of what we can expect out of these guys. Their mettle. Their character. Their desire to step up…

Episode 78 – 15/03/18 #ThisIsMarksFault
The gang does their best to stay away from the universal talking point of the Columbus match, speculate about everyone’s new favourite sequel-based club and engage in the usual malarkey of BitchyBlanks and Would You Rather.

The South Couch Report : Columbus v. Toronto
Welcome to the first EVER match review, by me, your trusty… um… whatever role I had on that other site, it’s the same one here. Everyone else is off drinking. Someone said they couldn’t do it because it was pre-pre-pre St. Paddy’s day. Weak? Of course, but what else could I do? Last week, your…

Kit Nerd Corner : San Jose Earthquakes away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. San Jose Earthquakes away In a nutshell : OK no. Here’s what is good about this kit : the embossed pattern found in the club badge that’s supposed to represent fault lines. Now that that is out of the way, let the white kit garbage go.…

Kit Nerd Corner : Sporting Kansas City home
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Sporting Kansas City home In a nutshell : it’s close, but in the end it lacks subtlety When I first laid eyes on this kit in an earlier leaked image, I really began to hate Sporting KC for more than just football. First they get that…

Kit Nerd Corner : Columbus Crew home and away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Columbus Crew home and away Columbus could have had it so much easier than this. As a bias towards football’s black and yellow, I’ve oft been disappointed with the offerings the pseudo-rivals have offered. There was that ‘stripey sports bra’ look, which was approved by…

Kit Nerd Corner : New England Revolution away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. New England Revolution away In a nutshell : Christmas has come really early It’s bland. Very very bland and ordinary. If you have ever been a kit nerd like myself, you’d expect to see a similar shirt style in non-league England or the Bulgarian league, but…

Kit Nerd Corner : Real Salt Lake away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Real Salt Lake away In a nutshell : fits the colour scheme, nothing remarkable This has to be a marketing manouvre as it seems like over half the league has a white kit, with eight of them (new ones anyways) being away kits. Throw another one…
