MLS Wins and Losses: Week 31
As always, you can hear this as part of the Vocal Minority Podcast when it comes out later this week. Sigi Schmid’s back! and he’s actually talking about food! A few more teams were eliminated from the playoffs, a few teams clinched a playoff spot this week and overall things are incredibly tight in both…

The South Couch Report: Toronto vs Philadelphia
Alright then. Today might be the day. The glorious culmination of 9 seasons of failure, slightly less failure, slightly less failure again, then a lot more failure, then even more failure with the hint of possible success, then just as much failure again, then slightly less failure and slightly less failure again and now here…

Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union: Is This TFC’s Day To Make Some History?
Today could be the day. If everything goes according to Hoyle, Toronto FC could clinch their first ever playoff spot this afternoon (5pm ET, BMO Field, TSN) when they face the Philadelphia Union. TFC fans can be forgiven for being sceptical after close to nine years of futility and having the rug pulled out from…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Chicago
Umbrella, poncho, back up poncho, wellies, goggles, water wings, I think I’m ready. It’s supposed to be gorgeous out there today, sunny, warm enough, and playing a weak Chicago side. Toronto is in the midst of rather the homestand and started off right with the defeat of buttery Sweden, erm, Colorado, 3-1 in the midst…

Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire: Time To Show This Time It’s Different
No more excuses. That’s it really – Toronto FC are to that part of the schedule that they’ve been holding up and talking about as the fall back for late season disappointments – well here it is, the easy pickings part of the schedule. Although it started out rough with the game against NYCFC, they…

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 29
As always you can hear rather than read this on this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast when that comes out. It’s remarkable really just how much farting in elevators that Hauptman does, the man has no shame. Well, it’s a good job TFC won on the weekend as this was a remarkably productive week in the…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Colorado
Damn I hate the rain. I’m on the GO writing this portion of the report and it just started spitting. Sometimes, just sometimes, it’s just too far to come to stand and get soaked. If I lived closer, less of complaint. Anyways. #preGameRanting Today is armed forces appreciation day. It’s the time of year where…

Toronto FC vs Colorado Rapids. Time to make things count.
So then, as Toronto were losing to Seattle and New England, the obvious thing to keep reminding yourself of was ‘alright, no need to worry, 4 games coming up against crap teams, TFC can beat the crap teams’. I guess we change that to ‘no need to worry, 3 games against crap teams at home,…

South Couch Report : New York City v Toronto
I go away for one weekend, and Tony’s Tea Terrorists (or 3TFC from now on? We’ll think about it…) come in and get slaughtered by Toronto and win 3-1 (I think that’s how I read it). Yup, narriative. Sure, I went to New England (you know, ALL of it, and not just central New Hampshire)…

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 28
As always, you can get the audio version of this in this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out later today. We’ll start with the big losers of the week, which is happily Sporting Kansas City. The Sporks got a 0-0 tie in Portland only due to Tim Melia pulling off a bunch of saves, but then…
