Watched the game with a few friends and stalwart TFC fans (myself being one of those the last few years until the start of this game too though). I talked a big game before the match and I'm glad I was vindicated. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face from 15 in, and I still have a gigantic shit eating grin on my face. Only 1 corner for TFC (and that came in the final 4). Good stuff guys. Can't wait to move back to Vancouver.

We're blue, we're white, we're fucking dynamite. Great game! Nice performance from Hassli and Dunfield.

Dunno how they managed to get more ponchos after second half but still awesome. ^^

With the hooliganism in many other parts of the world it's not too far from the truth.

No way, he's just a regular guy... who just happens to be a godlike basketball talent.

He used to play soccer, too... but his brother Martin was a much better play, so he played for the Caps, while Steve settled for B-ball.

I won an away jersey at an event...size medium, anyone want to buy or trade for the white one?? :)

Ronin 03-20-2011 12:12 AM

I was there. Section 201. Ghostrider was a little too far for me to bean him with anything in the poncho storm.

Fucking epic game. One of the best live soccer games I've ever seen. Lots of scoring chances, great defense, and a good crowd. I brought my new Whitecaps jersey and free scarf.

The moment of the game was actually the 4-2 goal by Toronto FC. Some hooligans behind me were chanting

"FOUR-TO-ONE...TORONTO YOU ARE DONE!"

The rest of us were just about to join them but then the 4-2 goal. It happened RIGHT as they said "DONE".

Without missing a beat, they started with

"FOUR-TO-TWO! TORONTO YOU ARE THROUGH!"

The entire section laughed.

I'll probably go to another few games this year. My friends are thinking New York Red Bulls.

Season tickets start at $319...I'm gonna watch another game or two and then decide if I want to buy or share a pair next year.

you mean like hockey, basketball, football, or any other north american sport?


i wish i could go to a game, the atmosphere looks AWESOME

domsme 03-20-2011 12:28 AM

band-wagoners, band-wagoners everywhere...

Good game though!

So, I watched the tape. Good for Vancouver, winning on their first outing in MLS. Now, I never followed MLS. Ever. Guess that will change :p

That said:

- Is that standard refereeing? My God, that ref was hideous.

- Equally hideous were both teams defence. Yuck.

- It was an... interesting... watch. Like watching Brazilian Serie C. What we would call a 'pelada'.

- Are there playoffs in MLS, or is it like the European/South American nationals, where the one with the most points wins? I'm too lazy to look it up.

- And, oh, I hope Vancouver gets better. Again, what I have seen of Toronto so far (saw a few games last year) has been almost depressing.

I will say it again. Whenever ANY Toronto franchise loses, its great

It is also true that Toronto is one of the worst sport markets in terms of performance. aside from the CFL, none of the major teams have made post season action in a LONG TIME

My dad got me and him season tickets, section 225, row 8. Really was a great atmosphere and really exciting game. I went to World Cup in South Africa, and while obviously I can't compare the atmosphere's, I did think that as a whole it had a good European vibe to it. I thought Toronto really wasn't that great. Both of our forwards are big guys with good heads, and it showed. I thought number 20 who had the beard and got injured at the end of the first half was our best player.

I wanna get a jersey but damn, $120 for a short sleeve is ridiculous. I mean c'mon, this is MLS, not EPL or World Cup
