The Part I Write Before The Match : So Vanney has opted to rest Vazquez, Giovinco, Beitashour and some others. Probably for the best. I’m not expecting much from this road trip since a home stand including a Wednesday home game and an upcoming Wednesday road game. Guys, the Canadian Premier League is for realz.…

Toronto FC vs Seattle Sounders ~ May 6th ~ 3pm ET ~ CenturyLink Field ~ CTV Three game homestand, three wins, nine points – really this homestand (their longest of the season) couldn’t have gone much better for Toronto FC.

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Houston
The Part I Write Before The Match : I’m feeling much better about going into this match than the last one. All those fears were unfounded. Man, that was embarassing. This match, we have to deal with Houston, who are shooting out the lights… when they’re at home and on the road haven’t earned a…
