    South Couch Report : Columbus v Toronto

    I want to make a pun of “Toronto will be missing the heart of the defense with Moor being out”, but that would be tacky. Thought of it, but won’t put it. Moor is out and now the mystery of how will they handle the lack of back line leadership will be addressed tonight. The…

  • The South Stand Report : Toronto v Atlanta

    The South Stand Report : Toronto v Atlanta

    Atlanta is like a new wrestling stable that appears out of nowhere and just start turning heads, making a name for themselves and racking up the wins. Oh sure, it’s not like they’re going to headline WrestleMania win MLS Cup or even SummerSlam go deep into the playoffs, but they’ll win the Intercontinental Championship make…

    South Stand Report : Toronto v. Kansas City

  • South Couch Report : Vancouver v Toronto

    South Couch Report : Vancouver v Toronto

    So Vancouver is missing their starting keeper over a red card, so this is a good time to sit their starter keeper, right? Seems foolish. Bono gets the start because of squad rotation. Of course. This should all be about missing Giovinco, but he’s hurt and went to Italy, and probably taking it easy. The…

  • The South Couch Report – Philadelphia v Toronto

    The South Couch Report – Philadelphia v Toronto

    Man, what a nice vacation. Sun. Boat. Music. Tequila. I missed a penalty save and that’s about it. Toronto earned a point against the Fightin’ Mormons (nickname still being storyboarded) and are now in chesty Chester for a game against the Bell Crackers (lets just go with it…), who earned a scoreless draw against the…
