South Couch Report. Orlando City SC vs Toronto FC
The Part I Write Before : First game I’ve watched in ages this one, life and stuff keeps happening so I’ve been limited to highlights and lowlights, so to me it seems like TFC games are relentless roller coasters. I’m intrigued to see how they look in all the slow bits in between, cos what…

Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC ~ 8pm ET ~ Orlando City Stadium ~ TSN4 The last time Toronto and Orlando met, I wrote this – TFC did indeed beat the Lions but their season hasn’t looked much brighter in the intervening two months. There was the win over the Union, and a couple of not…

South Couch Report – NYC v Toronto
The Part I Write Before : I don’t know if you all are like me, but I for one am relieved with Major League Soccer being back on television. Like that World Cup thing is just a pretentious mess. There’s no salary caps. There’s no TAM. There’s no GAM. And with a distinct lack of…

Toronto FC vs New York City FC: Will It Be Another Wild One Between TFC and the Pizza Rats?
Toronto FC vs NYCFC ~ 5pm ET ~ Yankee Stadium ~ TSN4/5 Who’s ready for some MLS?! Yeah, me neither – wouldn’t it be great if the league took at least the group stage of the World Cup off? Surely the players aren’t excited about having to miss matches for travel, warm-ups and such? …
