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…

The South Couch Report : Montreal v Toronto, V-Cup Edition, Part II
Well this is thrilling. Cup glory awaits… Well, the next round anyways. The kids did just fine last week, but that was at home. Hell, one of the goal scorers probably woke up in his childhood bedroom the next day (not that there’s anything wrong with that, have you seen real estate prices in this…

Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact – Voyageurs Cup Second Leg: Electric Boogaloo.
Toronto FC at Montreal Impact ~ 7:30pm ET ~ Saputo Stadium ~ TSN2 Here we go again! It’s time for the away leg of TFC’s Voyageurs Cup series against the Impact, and this time it’s personal!

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal, V-Cup Edition
A famous pundit once said “You can’t win anything with kids”. And that pundit was spot on as Manchester United went on to lose 5 more games at the end of that season. Sure they won 25 other games after that, and the league, but you can’t deny the truth that kids suck at football.…

Voyageurs Cup! Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Will The Kids Be Alright?
TFC v IMFC ~ 7:30pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN4 Who needs MLS games, it’s Voyageurs Cup time! No seriously, this is one of my favourite things every year – even if TFC haven’t won in awhile, there’s always the hope that this year they’ll take back the trophy and get back into…

Toronto FC vs New York Red Bulls: On The Road Again – Can TFC Repeat Past Success?
TFC vs NYRB ~ 7pm ET ~ Red Bull Arena ~ SN360 Ah the road, where Toronto FC is a Viking. Remember the halcyon days of the first eight games of the season? Where everything seemed possible? Now a four game home stand later, TFC has come away with only five points from a possible…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus
Are they sputtering? Stalling? Misfiring? It’s so difficult to wrap my head around it. Toronto and not look bad but they haven’t exactly looked great, and we’re expecting them to be great. We all know they have the potential to be great. I don’t know about the players, but three games in eight days is…

Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew. It’s Rivalry Weak. Grrrrrrrrr.
Another fucking home game? Ugh. If I wanted to go to games this often I’d be a basketball or hockey fan, I pine for a more balanced schedule, but fine, I’ll go I guess. At least this late afternoon game (thanks Sportsnet and TFC, that’s some great late rescheduling.) should be more pleasant temperature wise…

The South Stand Report – Toronto v New York City
I’m still tingling from the funnest game of recent memory, the Vancouver loss from the weekend. Why can’t they all be like that (results notwithstanding)? NYC is tied for first in the eastern conference winners of their last three, David Villa has as many goals as Giovinco, and somehow Pirlo is still playing. Will we…
