  • Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: Can TFC Have a Perfect Home Stand?

    Toronto FC vs New England Revolution ~ BMO Field ~ 7:30pm ET ~ SN360 Well this is an unfamiliar feeling, Toronto FC playing well – playing so well that they’ve won their last three games and are on the cusp of a perfect home stand; feels weird doesn’t it?  Even weirder is that they’re doing…

    South Stand Report : Toronto v D.C.

    Well this is a delight. Due to extreme heat, I’ve ditched the surely heat stroke-inducing weather of a golf tournament and opted for the live theatre of sport and spectating. #noRegrets Being on the road, I had the pleasure of missing the San Jose debacle and spending 45+ minutes yelling at a television in Pittsburgh.…

  • 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…

  • The South Stand Report : Toronto v Dallas

    The South Stand Report : Toronto v Dallas

    I’m not gonna lie to you all, I didn’t really feel like doing a match report. I wanted to take it in. The atmosphere, the new canopies, a crowd that actually looked like a sell-out.

    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…

  • VMP Final Countdown: Number 6 – Jozy Altidore

    Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 13 Average Ranking: 6.11 Tony:  6. He’s the bigger, bloodier deal. Apparently. Arriving in a “value-for-value” swap which saw Jermain Defoe head to Sunderland, Altidore’s goal was to return to MLS and return to the player which saw him leave these shores in the first place. Hmmm… not quite. Not terrible……
