The South Couch Report : New England v Toronto
I wonder how the Ref is gonna Fagundez us tonight? Kidding, they’re beyond criticism. Toronto lines up in a 4-4-2 and in their away kit. Because all red clashes with navy and white. Sure. New England have Alex Bunbury’s son. On to the match : 2’ – Lee Nguyen gets a gift from the defenders…

Toronto FC vs NE Revolution: Will Foxy Foxborough Be Tough Turf For TFC?
Saturday April 9 ~ 4pmET ~ Gillette Stadium ~ TSN2 Too many red cards! Poor refereeing! Lack of flow to the game! Got that out of your system? Good. OK, then it’s time for teams, (and fans) to refocus and try to concentrate on the game at hand, rather than the refereeing. Toronto are coming…

THE STARTING 11: Improvements To CONCACAF Qualifying
For North America’s tall, goofy guy – yeah that’s us Canada – getting through the difficult maze of CONCA-wackiness that is World Cup Qualifying is no treat. We’ve had enough heartbreak to fill many a Sepp bladder but it’s not just our lack of success that’s tough to swallow but also the convoluted path teams…

The south Couch Report: Colorado Rapids vs Toronto FC
So then, the first 3 games ended with a 1-1-1 record, and after a week off now it’s on to Colorado. So far it’s been understandably and commendably defence first from Greg Vanney’s men, will that continue? I think if there’s any opportunity to open things up a bit more and actually go for it…

Toronto FC vs Colorado Rapids: Can TFC Bounce Back From A Frustrating Game At SKC?
April 2 ~ Dick’s Sporting Goods Park ~ 8pmET ~ TSN2 Can Toronto FC get higher – up the standings! I’m not suggesting anything else, really – but can our Reds take advantage of a less than settle Colorado side? Playing the Rapids during this part of the road trip is really a pretty good…

South Couch Report : Mexico v Canada II – The Mexining
Mexico v Canada. 10:30pm. Seriously? So here’s the confession for tonight : I may be part time supporter. If they’re getting bested, or I fade on the couch, I’m going to bed. I got that work thing in the morning and if it’s an incomplete report, so be it. Good shot of the Voyageurs travelling.…

South Couch Report – Canada v Mexico
Canada v Mexico. 55,000 home supporters. Pizza and a slurpee (to which I am going to add an unnamed alcohol which could imply bias or bad luck). This is truly a Good Friday. Welcome to the road to Russia 2018. This weekend (well, Friday to Tuesday) is as make-or-break as it’s going to get. Home…
