Preview: Canada vs England.
So, hey, that World Cup thing’s pretty close. Just over a week and it’ll be underway, I feel like it’s crept up on me quieter than a World Cup should really, but it’s just over a week now. Fun. We’ll be covering it here at the Vocal Minority in our own way, as much as we really can, with a heavy focus on Canada of course, look for that to start up some time next week. For now though, it’s about a...
South Couch Report: Toronto FC vs Manchester City
It’s international friendly time! Fresh as daisies off their 2nd place league campaign, Manchester City are (briefly) in town to sell some shirts, expand the brand, thrill the locals with a great exhibition of football. Just before kick off and the crowd is sparse, there’s a few sections full of Man City fans, and one section full of drunk women in matching shirts, some of them with sashes and tiaras, and topless men with...
South Stand Report : Toronto v. Portland
What a week. Full of emotions, frustrations and secretive deals and negotiations, years of broken promises, misleading statements, and it finally came to a head. The Leafs signed Babcock. Kidding, fuck the Leafs. Pointyball is getting shoehorned into our once soccer specific stadium. (seriously, fuck them) So now that that dog and pony show has been wrapped up until the next farce comes down the pipe, back to the real world :...
Toronto FC vs. Portland Timbers: Black Is The New Plaid
As happens, well, pretty much every season since 2007, the miserable news off the pitch is once again overshadowing the miserable news on the pitch at BMO Field. When The Reds take to the field against our hipster friends from Oregon (Saturday 5PM; TV: TSN) the big story for many won’t be the starting XI, the tactics or the (no doubt) frustrating play of the home side, but the emotion in the stands in what is now a...
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: Alright then, that glow from those 2 wins wore off pretty quickly didn’t it? Passively sitting back and letting Altidore and Giovinco do their thing isn’t going to win us every game? Who knew? Will Greg Vanney stick with that or move on to another page of his textbook for this one? You don’t want to give the...
Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: This won’t end well.
When is a win a loss? When it’s Toronto FC of course. After not going for it in the first leg of their Voyageurs Cup tilt against the Montreal Impact last week, TFC put out a strong team on Wednesday night that brought them close to advancing; close but not close enough. While an impressive performance from Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco, this wasn’t the dominating performance that was hoped for against a weaker...
