The South Couch Report – New England v Toronto
I have no predictions, as I was busy. And I’ll be fair, I know how it ended (thanks Twitter!) but as a “respected” “journalist” and “blogger” [Added the quotes, you’re welcome ~Ed.], a match report will be filed. On to the Match : 3’ – Rowe has a go forcing Bono to make a lunging…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus
The Part I Write Before The Match : So last time we played Columbus, I was very concerned about a kid named Hansen who burned Toronto for a pair of pretty passes. Last game he didn’t do much, however… I don’t trust him. That being said, Justin Meram is playing well. Let’s be honest, Columbus…

Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew: T3 – The Trilliuming
Toronto FC v Columbus Crew ~ May 26th ~ 7pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN Whee, it’s the final game of the battle for the Trillium Cup! Bah, who cares – honestly, is this really a big deal to anyone not involved in MLS marketing? My only ire with the Crew is historical –…
