I think fandom will be a process in this country. The majority of people literally don't know how to be soccer fans. There were so many hockey jerseys at that game, it was rather comical. The only chants that caught on were hockey chants, ie - "LET'S GO CANADA, DA DA DA DA DA!" Toronto fans have TFC, so they know how to be soccer fans for the most part. I've heard chants caught on better for the games held there, so no surprise.

This drive for the WC is creating a lot of new fans, and that's what it's all about. The CMNT has been less than an afterthought for decades now, as we were completely irrelevant. It's no surprise that fans maybe weren't as loud as expected, but this is a process, and I'm loving it.

I'm going up for the game tomorrow with about 25 others. It is going to be unreal, no matter the weather.
