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 twelve, lost one of their top players to injury and underscored their desperate need for secondary scoring. Bright side would be staying relatively...
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 exhausting. That’s a lot of 50/50 tickets. Bold Predictions : Some asshats going on about “rivals” More...
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 after 3 chilly evening games to start things off. Another thing to recharge even the most jaded of supporter...
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 see Lampard play? (answer : don’t care). Really I should just cut and paste this preview right here, but I’m lazy to...
Toronto FC vs New York City FC: The Big Smoke Takes On The Big Apple
Wednesday, May 18th ~ BMO Field ~ 7pm ET ~ TSN4 Saturday was fun eh? Not exactly what anyone had hoped for, or expected of TFC’s second home game. However, the team will have had little time to dwell on past mistakes with two more games this week against two of their Eastern Conference rivals. First up is New York City FC who is also in the middle of a three game week, having just played the Portland Timbers on Sunday night....
The South Stand Report – Toronto v Vancouver
Full disclosure #1 : I don’t know anything about soccer. Michael Bradley said it. He wasn’t speaking to me specifically, but he was. Altidore defence was running on full blast from the professional media, while most of the non-media that I saw weren’t having it. So if you don’t like Altidore, you’re likely reading this “report” which also means you don’t know anything about soccer either. Clearly. Full...
