  • TFC Player Final Countdown: 2016 Edition

    Well sports fans another Toronto FC season has come to an end, and wow, what a crazy season!  It feels rather odd to have TFC’s off season begin in December, and well into December at that.  Usually we’ve been grumbling into our cups since sometime in October, and staring off into the abyss that is…

  • THE STARTING 11: Unused Elements of the Cancelled TFC Championship Parade

    We were so close. Inches away really. What a letdown! Yeah the fancy trophy would have been nice and all – but I mean the parade! Thousands, if not millions, billions even, lining the streets of Toronto to fete MLS Cup Winners Toronto FC. But no, teams that take shots on goal aren’t so lucky…

  • I was wrong.

    I was wrong. There, I said it. It’s been a generally good season, a great playoff run, and probably the most dramatic 2 legged series I’ve ever seen, certainly the best I’ve attended, so it may be time to let go of some of my long held beliefs about many people and things in TFC…

  • THE STARTING 11: Other TFC Superstitions

    In a week of good vibes in TFC Land we don’t want to dwell on the somewhat negative effect the MLS Cup ticket situation had on many fans. It sucked for some and the league should know better. A funny aside of the episode however was TFC staff’s explanation that they didn’t want to discuss…

  • Feeling warm and fuzzy? Surprise, here’s TFC and MLS to take care of that for you.

    So, Wednesday night was awesome, the playoffs have been great, hell most of the season has been very very good on the pitch. Even off the pitch, things are much better, there’s very few really annoying decisions, playoff pricing and season seat renewal were reasonable, they took the Voyageurs Cup seriously, didn’t play a friendly,…

  • Toronto FC 5: 2 Montreal Impact. The South Stand Report 2: The reportening!

    I’m a bit too stunned from it all still to put this together into any kind of well crafted narrative, so instead here’s a more or less chronological word vomit on my thoughts and feeling around an absolutely fucking ridiculous game. Mark’s report started with  “I’m not about to write anything you haven’t already heard…

  • Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 – Aaaahhhhhh!!!

      Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ 7pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN Anxiety level: High That’s it really – the excitement, the nerves, the ANXIETY!  But at the same time I’m strangely relaxed – tonight’s game (historic, one of the games we’ve longed for the past 10 seasons, etc) is much more than…
