Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC: Can A Return Home Help Put Things Back On Track?
In typical Toronto FC fashion this has been an up and down season – it doesn’t seem to matter who’s hurt, who’s suspended or if they’re playing at home or on the road – there’s been little consistency in the quality of their performances. Their past two games have not been exactly things of beauty – regardless of three goal comebacks – and what’s been most noticeable is the...
MLS Wins and Losses: Week 22
As always if you’ve got no time for this reading thing, you can hear this all as part of this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, available soon in all fine podcast storing places. Frank Lampard’s here and finally playing but no-one really cares so let’s move on and right into a massively entertaining and goal filled week in MLS. Saturday saw 39 goals, thus breaking the record for goals on a single day in MLS!...
The South Couch Report: New England Revolution vs Toronto FC
Your regular South Couch updater Mark is absent so Duncan again takes the reins from his East Side Couch. Last time this happened was against new England as well, Mark’s clearly terrified of the the Gillette Stadium pitch. Injuries, suspensions and 11 goals conceded in our last 3 away games, that’s the backdrop here, what exactly will Greg Vanney do with it. Will we see the 3-5-2 given another run out or will it be time...
Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: Can A Depleted Lineup Come Back From Southie With Points?
Vive la revolution! Oh wait, wrong thing. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, Toronto FC’s last road game before an August filled with 5 home games – this time against the New England Revolution, or tea terrorists as 1/4 of the VMP Panel call them. The Reds are off to foxy Foxborough to take on Jay Heaps and Co. This is one of the weirder games on the schedule – weird in that the Rev really aren’t that good a...
MLS Wins and Losses: Week 21
As always, you can listen to the increasingly odd audio version of this as part of this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out later this week. Mmmm, Andrea Pirlo made his debut for New York, mmmm, he was majestic out there, a man amongst boys, so smooth, so cultured, clearly man of the match, mmmmmm. That’s all you need to know, mmmmm back to you Kristin. I kid, but sadly that was the tone taken by many despite there being...
The South Couch Report : Columbus v Toronto
This day would come. Columbus and their high-flying offense colliding with Toronto’s assassin-like offense (when it’s working). I boldly predicted a high scoring game. They’ve got Kamara, we’ve got Giovinco. They’ve got Trapp, we’ve got Giovinco. They’ve got Higuain, we’ve got Giovinco. It’s pretty evenly matched. On to the match! 8’ – their Findlay exposes the left side...
