The South Couch Report : Orlando v Toronto
You know what I’m glad to be doing? Watching a game and the air conditioning is on. #bragging Toronto has been less than convincing on the pitch. Scoring has been dry so it’s hard to be optimistic that they’ll light up the scoreboard. Cheyrou has been a rock in the midfield, as has Moor in…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Vancouver, Voyageurs Cup Edition, Round 1, FIGHT!
What has two thumbs and loves a cup tie? This guy. (now picture me pointing both my thumbs at myself with a grin) Toronto are more than likely still flying high after the heady win over Los Angeles on the weekend. Hopefully not too hung-over (or dehydrated for that matter) to deal with Vancouver. The…

THE STARTING 11: Reasons Why Opposition DPs Avoid Toronto

For one reason or another, the biggest of the big-name opposition Designated Players had the rude habit of skipping out on the Toronto fixture. Fast forward ten glorious years and this frustrating occurrence (aka ultimate troll on away-kit…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Los Angeles
Welcome to Toronto. Dysfunctional weather patterns since 1992. Damn it’s steamy. So MLS had a demi-break until half the Copa America was done, which was so necessary, apparently. It’s OK MLS, I wasn’t going to watch it, since Canada wasn’t included so keep your tournament. Maybe next time I’ll give a damn. Tonight, the slipping…

THE STARTING 11: Ways Euro 2016 Would Be Different if TFC Were Hosting
It’s not that crazy an idea. BMO Field has hosted all kinds of weird jazz such as Genesis, a Bill Clinton speech and whatever TFC’s 2012 season was all about – so why not the Euros?! Ok there’s the one tiny detail about not being in Europe but in this age of supersonic passenger flight…

The South Couch Report : Montreal v Toronto, V-Cup Edition, Part II
Well this is thrilling. Cup glory awaits… Well, the next round anyways. The kids did just fine last week, but that was at home. Hell, one of the goal scorers probably woke up in his childhood bedroom the next day (not that there’s anything wrong with that, have you seen real estate prices in this…
