  • THE STARTING 11: Other Things MLS Refs are at Fault For

    It’s been the story of this young season so far. Barely a MLS match passes by without some level of officiating controversy. Bad result? Ref’s fault. Beer prices too high? Refs. Piss on your own leg at the urinal? Definitely refs. However, it’s not always the most obvious of things that this league’s officials have…

  • 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…

  • THE STARTING 11: Rejected Kansas City Stadium Names

    When the good folks of Kansas decided that they just couldn’t get behind Lance Armstrong’s pro-syringe agenda, they ditched their ground’s name of Livestrong Sporting Park. For a while after their flirtation with performance enhanced stadia ended, it was just plain old Sporting Park. However, that just sounded too much like a place for wealthy…

  • Toronto FC vs Sporting KC: Will TFC Be In Heaven, Or Blue Hell?

    Sunday March 20 – TSN2 – Children’s Mercy Park – 7pm ET  Can Toronto FC’s dream start to the season continue this evening in Kansas City?  Unlikely – but then again I’d have called you crazy two weeks ago if you said that TFC would be undefeated at the moment; including a 2-0 win over…

  • THE STARTING 11: Other Things Giovinco May Have been Doing During His Goal Celebration

    Wheeeeeeeeeee! You can only assume this was the noise Sebastian Giovinco was making in his “little mouse” voice as he celebrated the opening goal vs. Red Bulls last week. And who could blame him? The wee Italian not only opened TFC’s 2016 account but continued where he left off from his record-breaking 2015 season. His…

  • Toronto FC v NYC FC: Can The Reds Take Another Bite Out of the Big Apple?

    TFC vs NYCFC, Yankee Stadium, 5pm ET, Sportsnet One Well last week was fun wasn’t it? It really was; a surprising win (and clean sheet!) to start the season?  What’s not to like?  Today in their second game of the season, Toronto FC make the trek to the house the Pirlo built, historic Yankee Field…
