  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 23

    As always, catch the audio version of all this in the Vocal Minority Podcast, coming out later this week.  Giovanni Dos Santos is here and he’s playing and ai ai ai and sit down everyone, Chad’s scored already.

  • THE STARTING 11: Reasons Why We Appreciated the Kansas City Wizards

    A long time ago in a world of Clashes, Burns and even the odd Fusion, existed a soccer team named the Kansas City Wizards. Even better than that, they were originally just the Kansas City Wiz! Wheeeee marketing boffins! This fabled team with their rainbow kits, surly Serbs and cheeky Scots toured the U.S.A. in…

  • South Traffic Report : Toronto v Kansas City

    Yeah it’s late. You see, somebody was trying to actually get to the game on time.  They left early, gave themselves, what they thought was, plenty of time to get down to the stadium.  Who knew that one set of road closures would have screwed up everything. At 3:00 I had exited the Gardiner and…

  • Toronto FC vs Sporting KC: Will TFC Need Super Seba To Once Again Save The Day?

      Well Wednesday night was fun!  Seriously if you didn’t watch or attend then you really missed one of those rare joyous moments that we as TFC fans get to experience approximately once a year.   But it’s been a long time since I was at BMO Field and experienced the entire crowd erupting into…

  • It’s Bezness time: Creavalle out, Herculez Gomez in!

    Have you been looking on with envy at all the other MLS clubs recently as they’ve added exciting new players? Been trying to make yourself feel better by forcing yourself to think ‘we did our big business at the start of the season, we’ve had an entire half season of our guys already! and hey…

  • South Stand Report : Toronto v Orlando

    It’s a beautiful day for footy.  Better than the last 5 matches I’ve been to anyways.  Toronto is coming off a confusing sloppy whopping from Boston Minutemen or whatever they’re called.  Doesn’t matter. Orlando somehow beat Columbus over the weekend. You know what, I don’t care about the before right now. I’m in my seats,…

  • 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…

  • THE STARTING 11: Toronto FC Civic Holidays

    For a good portion of us in the Toronto FC geographic area, today is a holiday. While generally known across the parts of Canada that participate as a “Civic Holiday” it is more specifically known in Ontario as Simcoe Day. This of course marks the day in the Dark Ages when a magical knight named…
