I seem to remember a game i attended in 1993, Canada had a 1-0 lead on Mexico and was on its way to the world cup when it all collapsed. There must have 19k out of 20 that were rooting for Mexico.

In the last decade Canada has enjoyed great home support in Toronto thanks to the tireless work of voyageurs and other supporters groups. It's always a great atmosphere with genuine home support. I personally attended a sold out world cup qualifier in 2008 against Jamaica, and the split in the crowd was like 70-30 In favour of Canada.

These guys come in and it’s always a nice polite one. You serve them because you dont want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
