Toronto FC 2008 Edition

May 6th, 2008 | by: James Hamilton

TFC Fans Go Nuts!

It’s season two for our adored Reds. What a start to the season this year. After misfiring during the first two games, the team has come together with the addition of a few key players, an overhaul in their approach on the field and a fresh approach from the coaching staff. I’m really excited to have Amado Guevara on the team this year. His experience and skill has made a huge impact since stepping onto the field 3 games ago and I can’t wait to see him have some more fun on the pitch as the year progresses.

Toronto FC Takes The Field

As I write this entry, Toronto has 10 points and is playing better than every team in the Western Conference. It’s hard to believe that this is just the second season. As long as the team can stay healthy we might end the year in the playoffs. And hey, even if we don’t make it, at least every home game will be fun thanks to the support of the amazing Toronto fans (why aren’t Leafs games like this?).

Digg it!

there’s a simple reason that leaf games aren’t like that. toronto has a pretty significant number of families that have immigrated to canada in the last 40 years from places like italy, portugal, spain, etc; countries where soccer (aka football) is a huge part of their culture. They relate to soccer for a lot of reasons, but likely because it’s familiar to them. it allows them to embrace an important part of their cultural heritage in the place that they’re currently living.

Hockey just hasn’t had the same (if any…) impact on those countries. with the exception of eastern europe and scandanavia, i don’t really think hockey has had any cultural impact outside of north america.
