South Couch Report : Los Angeles v Toronto

Finally a week off from doing the stupidest commute ever. Nobody should need to take that much public transit to get to a footy match. Now I have the comfort of a couch in a basement and no concern if there’s a roof or not, midges, gnats, mosquitoes, rain, lightning, thunder, floods, uprising. Safety.

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 13

In the words of noted student of the game Gregory J Vanney, MLS is all about streaks and that’s the theme running right through this week’s results in another busy week for MLS that saw pretty much all the Eastern Conference playoff contenders shit the bed and Baldomero Toledo really get his game going for the first time this year. We’ll start at the top of the East, where DC’s win over Chicago on Wednesday was...
