I'd love to see more Canadians in the lineup, and eventually that will happen through their academy program. Until then, they've got to put the best team they can out there, regardless of nationality.
I've got my brown 3rd jersey on and waiting for this Toronto-Hamilton game to end! 5 penalties on one play? They're really doing what they can to drag this out.  |
My post was mostly in response to the comment saying it was a big night for Canadian soccer, I should have quoted it.
I'm sorry, but I can't cheer for a team from Vancouver even if it is the closest team to Calgary. Too much history with the Canucks and Lions and their fans. I liked the Sounders and TFC before the Whitecaps went to MLS anyways.
Swansea is probably the closest EPL team, and this is also their second season in the top division, should I automatically start supporting them?
