    The South Couch Report : Houston v Toronto

    I am so tired. I suppose I could’ve gone to bed, but I didn’t see the tweet until 35 minutes ago that the game was delayed until 9pm tonight. If I drink this last 5-hour energy drink, I’m afraid I’ll be dead by halftime. You want a preview? Huh? Maybe you should have read this…

    The South Stand Report : Toronto v New England

    After what can only be described as an “interesting” performance, Toronto is on a win streak. Moreso, they’re on a home win streak, and they’re unbeaten at home in their last 10 matches. I know, I’m shocked too, and I went to them all. Not to be outdone, the Tea Terrorists TM road form isn’t anything…
