Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union: Playoff Clinch Take Two!
Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union ~ 5pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN2 This preview is a weird one for me to write given this is the match that I deliberately miss each year (click here for the reason why if you aren’t already aware), but such is blogger/podcaster life and my other job – other than podcast wrangler – is to write the previews, so here we go. Last weekend’s comeback match against the Energy Drinks had TFC...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v New York
What a perfect afternoon for a football match. The sun is shining, not too hot, and the team is honouring legend Dwayne DeRosario. I almost don’t care if they win. Kidding. Mostly. Bold Predictions : Toronto wins No Wright-Phillips on the score sheet Osorio will do another one touch in successive games in an attacking position towards goal (goal notwithstanding) On to the Match : 12’ – GOAL – ball crossed into the...
Toronto FC vs New York Red Bulls: Can TFC Clinch A Playoff Spot Today?
Toronto FC vs New York Red Bulls ~ 5pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN2 So TFC fans, this is a weird place to be in eh? A winning team, a team in first, a team legitimately challenging for the Supporter’s Shield – as we like to say (or sing): is this the real life, is this just fantasy? After years of futility could this team finally be good? Not sporadically good, but actually a good team – one that could do something of...
The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal
Spoiler alert : Just in case you weren’t aware of it, I write the first part before the game (for realzies) and the rest of it in order. You will see my optimism wane, as I’m sure anyone else’s did, as the match went on. The Ex. A tradition that has been around for 134 years. A winning football club. A tradition that has been around for nearly a week and a half. Or so it feels like. I’m still in disbelief. And...
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Rivalry Week! Grrr! Two Solitudes Derby Time!
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ 730pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN4 Alright everyone, here we go – TFC are riding high on a seven game unbeaten streak, top of the Eastern Conference and seemingly the entire team hitting on all cylinders. So what better way to head into the international break than to have a home game against their biggest rivals (come on, you know it’s true), the Montreal Impact. The cheesemakers are having an...
The South Couch Report : Orlando v Toronto
I’m kinda relieved that this Wednesday game is away. I like home games and all, but sometimes you just wanna lay on the couch, wear your feeted jammie-jams (you know what I’m talking about) and curl up with a cider or three to watch the footie. The purples (why hasn’t that caught on yet?) have one win in their last ten matches. But all streaks must come to an end and, well, even as supremely talented as Toronto...
