Under no circumstance could I support TFC and while I usually cannot bring myself to cheering for a neighbouring city's club, I find myself backing the Whitecaps.

To be honest, when you don't take action against people throwing 'innocent' stuff on the pitch, and even talk about it excitedly, it is only a matter of time before some idiot or group of idiots throw a dangerous projectile.

As the playoffs can often make the leagues with them feel virtually meaningless, I like how they award a lucrative prize for winning the league.
