I realize the organizers of the U-20 tourney wanted to sell as many tickets as possible, but considering the likelihood of having a fairly large away support for most European and South American opponents Canada faces especially in Toronto, would it not have made more sense to have Canada play these teams in a places that the away support is least likely.

If I had my druthers - we would have played Chile and Austria in Edmonton and play Congo in Toronto.

I found it very disheartening that the Chilean crowd was louder and more organized in their chanting and support a the NSS, and the fact that their fans were spread out all over the stadium made organizing our support more difficult. As I see it, Canada got far weaker support than TFC gets in terms of noise and chants - that's a shame, especially on Canada Day.

To be fair, there was nothing that Canadian supporters could’ve cheered about in that game against Chile. Canada was just awful!

Besides, Edmonton crowd wasn't loud either.
