Toronto FC vs LA Galaxy: Missing Four Starters? Surely the Stars Will Align For A TFC Victory, Right?
That really was three games in eight days wasn’t it? A bit of a whirlwind that saw our Reds come away with only four points out of a possible nine; not exactly the expected result but oddly enough, not terrible either. The NYCFC game was a frustrating result (really they should have adjusted better and…

THE STARTING 11: Ways That Montreal Impact Supporters Will Spend Canada Day
Even though Montreal Impact was in Toronto a week too early to bathe in this city’s overt Canada Day patriotism, it wasn’t too soon to get a hint at their plans for Le Grand Day Off. While not all Quebecers can agree on the “Nationalism” question, ALL of them agree – relaxing is tres bien.…

South Stand(ing in the rain) Report : Toronto v. D.C.
I should be in a better mood. Who wouldn’t be, after the masterclass of Wednesday night (as far as TFC goes). But then there’s the rain. Which isn’t as bad as suburban public transit rerouting around your stop without any notification of it. Which isn’t as bad as the longest train ever at a rail…

Toronto FC vs DC United: Will DCU Get Revenge or Will TFC Continue To Dominate?
Wednesday night was fun, wasn’t it? No I mean that, it WAS fun! Well played, some nice goals, they beat a team that was nipping at their heels and bounced back decisively after the difficult game against NYCFC – Fun! Today’s match against one of the best in DC United is a little more…

WWC 2015: Quarter Final Preview. Canada, and the tournament, need a win here.
The round of 16 is done, which had it’s share of drama and entertainment, though just the one real upset and not even one game going to extra time never mind penalties. Now it’s the quarter finals and things are getting serious, there are no weaker teams only here due to the 24 team expansion…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal
Well that was a bit of a letdown last week. Thought Toronto had them, but alas, like an elbow to the back of the neck, they went down. Now we’re playing the pathetically abysmal Montreal Impa… whuh? 17 pts you say? 5-5-2? SINCE F’ING WHEN?!!?! Full disclosure : I don’t care about Montreal win-or-lose, I…

Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Will We See Angry Determined TFC, Or Frustrated, Out Of Ideas TFC?
Tic Tac….ah we know who they are. One of our biggest rivals (sorry Columbus), the city that we invade en masse for away games, the only other Canadian team that’s allowed to win the Voyageurs Cup and the runaway winner of our highly scientific ‘what is our true derby’ poll. And right now they are…
