  • Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: You Say You Want A Playoff Spot?

    Well here we go folks; one of Toronto FC’s biggest games of the season – are you ready?  This afternoon’s (5pmET, BMO Field, SN360) game against the rampaging New England Revolution is as tough a test as our Reds have faced all season.   You can look ahead to games against the scrubs of the…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 27

    Find out what Didier Drogba really said, by listening to the audio version of this when this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast comes out! A quiet week really in MLS, only 4 other games aside from TFC, though the international games did of course give Jurgen Klinsmann another chance to dump all over MLS which he…

  • South Couch Report : Seattle v Toronto

    Missing ten starters, including six defenders.  3-4-3 formation.  Dempsey is healthy.  This will be an adventure in patience or a test of masochistic limitations. On to the match : 1′ – Of course the wife calls.  10pm on a Saturday night. 6′ – GOAL – Well that’s probably the game winner. Dempsey pops the ball…

  • Toronto FC vs Seattle Sounders: Can We Just Give Them The Points And Stay Home?

    Yay for a week off!  Oh wait, Toronto FC doesn’t have the weekend off?  Can we umm, take one?  This is a difficult game to get excited about given Toronto’s current state.  Sure everyone is feeling good about the recent wins and goals, so why worry about a little road trip to Seattle?  Well, I’ll…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 26

    As always, this will be available as part of the vocal minority podcast later this week if you can’t be bothered with all this reading stuff.  It was rivalry week again in MLS. Grrrrrrrr, though only half heartedly, with just 4 proper derby games being played this time around. After a midweek that saw both…

  • South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal

    The magic of the Ex. What used to be a cultural festival and a major part of any calendar is just an endless advertising festival.  Good thing I can escape it and find refuge in BMO Field where the ball is brought to me by a shipping company, the bench is brought to me by…

  • Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Playoffs, Pride and the Polar Express

    Ooh it’s Rivalry Week in MLS and of course that means Toronto FC take on the Montreal Impact (Sat. Aug 29, 4pm, BMO Field, TSN) in the second of their three meetings this year.  Games between TFC and the Impact are always highly charged affairs and with playoff hopes and potentially jobs on the line…

  • South Couch Report – Toronto v Orlando

    Well well well, look who’s on the bench. Much to my surprise (yay!) is Jozy Altidore and (whuh?) Joe Bendik.  One of these makes complete sense, and the other is Joe Bendik.  He’s been hung out to dry over the last few games, and surely he can’t be held responsible?  But what do I know.…

  • Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC: Statement game for Vanney, TFC.

    9 Wins, 6 ties and 9 defeats, 33 points and sitting comfortably in a playoff place with games in hand. Such was TFC’s position last season after 24 games, and in ‘a results based business’ as Tim Bezbatchenko said and faithful reporters dutifully reported and argued, that was more than reason enough for Ryan Nelsen to…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 24

    Yeah, this is very late, I’m forgetful, so maybe you’ve already listened to this in this week’s podcast, if not, what the hell are you waiting for.  Anyway, it’s all old news now, but at the very least scroll down for the Kaka tantrum.  Well the theme for this year’s Voyageurs Cup is set. We’ve…
