South Couch Report: New York vs Toronto
The Part I Write Before The Match : Alright then, finally. After a season of no particular challenge, no real drama, where no game really meant all that much, where a defeat would have led to a mere shrug, where the games often felt unimportant enough to not be worth the hassle of going down to…

The South Couch Report: Toronto vs Montreal
The Part I Write Before The Match : South Couch Report again? Yeah, this weather makes me not want to go stand out in it for 3 hours or so, even if there is a trophy in the house. Fair weather fan, childhood me, hell even me from about 5 years ago sadly shakes his…

The South Couch Report : Toronto v New York
Full disclosure, I made my choices and in the face of the results I stand by those choices. I had the opportunity to go see a pointy ball game in Hamilton against the much-hated rivals about 4 months ago, and I chose that over some random-ass home game near the end of the season against…

Toronto FC vs NY Red Bulls ~ Sat. Sept. 30th ~ 7pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN2 Is tonight’s match the biggest of the 2017 regular season for Toronto FC? Please note that I said 2017 regular season, not all time – I’m not crazy, at least not for that reason. Anyway, is tonight…

The South Couch Report: Toronto vs New England
The Part I Write Before The Match : So then, given how well our mighty Effs and Cees have been playing recently, and the amount of players missing, that Montreal game can be written off as just a blip right? #ShitHappens, even the best of teams in any sport occasionally has a night where things…

Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: Are Toronto In A Heap of Trouble After Wednesday, Or Will It Be Business As Usual?
Toronto FC vs New England Revolution ~ Sat. Sept. 23rd ~ 5pm ET ~ Gillette Stadium We’re all in agreement that Wednesday night was a dream – well, nightmare – had collectively by all, right? As far as blips go that was a beauty by TFC – multiple poor performances, lack of finishing (yes I…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal
The Part I Write Before The Match : I’m not going to lie to you, blog and readers, I’m almost idealist about everything with this side. Tonight could just send me on a footie euphoria bubble that will float away. It’s crazy to be this optimistic, where “burn it to the ground, start over”…

Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Can A Short-handed TFC Put A Nail In The Impact’s Playoff Hopes?
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ Sept. 20th ~ 730pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN1/4/5 Every game at this point in the season is a big game – some teams are chasing records, some are chasing the red line – thanks to the MLS scheduling gods that cheekily put all of the games between…

South Couch Report : Los Angeles v Toronto
Part I Write Before The Match : Lol. LA Galaxy are weak. Toronto is the toast of the league. Like you could’ve predicted a reality where this could have happened. Toronto is missing Seba and Jozy due to precaution. More like an awesome precaution, am I right? Vazquez as a forward. Ok. Sure. Why the…
