The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus
Are they sputtering? Stalling? Misfiring? It’s so difficult to wrap my head around it. Toronto and not look bad but they haven’t exactly looked great, and we’re expecting them to be great. We all know they have the potential to be great. I don’t know about the players, but three games in eight days is…

Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew. It’s Rivalry Weak. Grrrrrrrrr.
Another fucking home game? Ugh. If I wanted to go to games this often I’d be a basketball or hockey fan, I pine for a more balanced schedule, but fine, I’ll go I guess. At least this late afternoon game (thanks Sportsnet and TFC, that’s some great late rescheduling.) should be more pleasant temperature wise…

The South Stand Report – Toronto v New York City
I’m still tingling from the funnest game of recent memory, the Vancouver loss from the weekend. Why can’t they all be like that (results notwithstanding)? NYC is tied for first in the eastern conference winners of their last three, David Villa has as many goals as Giovinco, and somehow Pirlo is still playing. Will we…

Toronto FC vs New York City FC: The Big Smoke Takes On The Big Apple
Wednesday, May 18th ~ BMO Field ~ 7pm ET ~ TSN4 Saturday was fun eh? Not exactly what anyone had hoped for, or expected of TFC’s second home game. However, the team will have had little time to dwell on past mistakes with two more games this week against two of their Eastern Conference rivals.…

THE STARTING 11: New TFC Narratives
It goes like this: You, the supporter, feel a certain way about a certain aspect of TFCdom. This is most often followed by a member of the local established TFC media telling you how wrong you are and that you are a maroon with only a rube-like knowledge of the sport. In turn, this is…

The South Stand Report – Toronto v Vancouver
Full disclosure #1 : I don’t know anything about soccer. Michael Bradley said it. He wasn’t speaking to me specifically, but he was. Altidore defence was running on full blast from the professional media, while most of the non-media that I saw weren’t having it. So if you don’t like Altidore, you’re likely reading this…

Toronto FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps: Centre of the Universe Takes on The Sea To Sky Highways
Saturday May 14 ~ BMO Field ~ 7:30pm ET ~ TSN4 What better way to celebrate Danny Dichio Day (Triple D, ooh) than to take on those pests from the west coached by (still my favourite) former Red – and good friend of Dichio – Carl Robinson. Yes before the game starts there will be…
