That's sick. Although I think it has as much to do with Beckham as it does Champions League. I doubt the same thing would happen if they were facing . . . Santos Laguna?

Rogers Centre looks weird with all of the supporters banners, but I love it

Toronto FC up 2-0 after 17 minutes. Goals by Johnson and Silva.

From all accounts Silva looks like he's going to be a hell of a player. That header was perfectly placed!

It kind of ruins it for me that all those banners were there before the fans arrived. And all the streamers/fireworks are a bit ridiculous.

That said, there's been a lot of good noise from the crowd tonight.

2-1 at the half. It's been a great game so far!

How do the banners ruin it? Supporters groups spent months getting banners ready. The Red Patch Boys made multiple trips to the Sky Dome to take measurements, design, paint, set up, and will be in there taking everything down. Lots of work put in and everything looks great. If they had to set up once they were allowed in the stadium with everyone else, they would still be setting up after the final whistle.

Tied now. Love the chants of "FU Beckham" not so much cans falling on his head. Stay classy TO.

Keane and Buddle have been noticeable with zero finish.

That was quite an atmosphere. If Soccer Canada ever got it act together and had a decent national team the crowds in Toronto would be intense.

Now onto Game 2 on tv: Santos Laguna vs Seattle Sounders

If it wasn't so bright, it could be a funky jersey.

I can't bring myself to cheer for TFC or the Whitecaps (and definitely not the Impact), so I'm a Sounders fan until the day comes that Calgary has MLS/NASL. I bought the Shale away jersey, but the retro is just too much for me still. The actual design is nice though, just soo bright.

If Sounders play that well defensively in Santos, we're thru. Good pace and Santos never really looked comfortable.

I'm really rooting for TFC. Good fans that have deserved a better team. Silva looks like he'll replace Rosario nicely.

They'll need some luck to go thru.

Agreed. What is about the 70's/80's color schema ie Canucks 80's? Though the Timbers did a very nice job with their 70's retro kit.

Would be nice for the Boomers to come back some day. I'm old enough to have gone to Boomer games and have autographs of some of the players when they visited my elementary school.
