THE STARTING 11: Jacob Peterson Tips for Celebrating Canada Day
TFC has always been a rich tapestry of cultures and nationalities that reflects the city and county it calls home. Hell, this club is so inclusive it made Maicon Santos captain. As Reds supporters prepare to celebrate Canada Day this week, we thought it would be interesting to ponder what one ex-international Red – American…

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…

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.

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…
