We have a 6-2-5 record against Jamaica. Canada is undefeated at home and we have outscored them 16-8 in those games. Our first meeting ever with them was March 13th, 1985.

Wear red, cheer loud and make this dream a reality! Let's go boys!

*** I like Peters and Bernier but I can see them being dropped if all of these guys are available...

GO CANADA!! Allez les rouges!

[Polygong]

If Edgar plays, would it be his first cap with the senior squad?

Having this one in Toronto was a bad idea, we have a very large Jamaican community here, the largest outside of Jamaica itself.

Having this one in Toronto was a bad idea, we have a very large Jamaican community here, the largest outside of Jamaica itself.

From what I understand, between the supporter groups, the Voyageurs, and regular season ticket holders, the crowd should be very much pro Canadian, but I guess we will have to wait until game day to say for sure.

[Polygong]

Season ticket holders don't get this as a part of the package (I know this because I am one). We do get first shot at our seats so hopefully a significant amount will take it.

[Warlord]

This is a home game for us Jamaicans. Im sure you will see a large amount of Jamaicans at the game. ;)

Have you ever been to N.Y.C.(Brooklyn,Bronx,Queens)?;)

[hodgkiss]

ya there will be a lot of jamaican support but nowhere close to the canadian support bud. welcome to the 2008 wcq. if you think this will be a home game for your team, you're gonna have a rude awakening... this will be completely different from anything you've seen before!

[divingisgay]

Apparently, a lot of the TFC and Canadian supporters bought a lot of tickets and barely told anyone about the password to get the tickets early.
If there is any Jamacians...probably sparsely spread out in the stadium or one big clump near one of the goals.


It's stupid how this game is tape-delayed

[Johnny TFC]

If anyone has a couple of extra tickets and wants to add to the Canadian contingent in the stands I would love to take two off your hands. PM me if you or anyone you knows has some - I would be thrilled!

The stars just recently aligned and I am able to stick around for a few more days in Toronto and this would be a wonderful topper to my trip home! GO CANADA!

[Phil Margonis]

can't wait for this game. section 223

canada needs the 3 points here at home and i think they boys get it

good roster info, thanks

[Polygong]

Have you ever been to N.Y.C.(Brooklyn,Bronx,Queens)?;)

Sure, ever been anywhere in Toronto north of St. Clair? :)

[Inklink]

I'll say it again in case ya aint heard wat i said tha first time. This is a home game for jamaica. Toronto has a significant Jamaican population. You living there should know that so in essence this is like a home game for us.;)

I have visited your city. I dont have to tell you how strong our population is there. Im sure there will also be many jamaicans from tha Tri-state area that will be there. Now if you wanna delude yourself in thinking that it aint a home game for us then go head.:D

If your federation was smart they wouldve hosted the game in Edmonton or Vancouver instead.

[ja2ny]

Sure, ever been anywhere in Toronto north of St. Clair? :)

BRO THE N.Y.C. AND LONG ISLAND JAMAICAN COMMUNITY IS BIGGER THAN THE ONE IN TORONTO TRUST ME ON THAT.;)

[hodgkiss]

i think both of you guys and your team are gonna get schooled. i'm telling YOU again although you are right that we have a large jamaican community but we were smart. we bought the majority of the tickets starting with the cheap ones so that we would own bmo field. and that we will. if you come to the game, you will see how different things will be this time around. in the stands and on the pitch!

It's stupid how this game is tape-delayed


It is and it isn't. Sportsnet West and Pacific are officially showing it live, while East/Ontario are still stuck with baseball. Luckily, I'll be moving in with my brother this weekend, and he gets all of em!

[Red&White]

Warlord, do you have tickets for this game? I do by the way.

[Johnny TFC]

Warlord, do you have tickets for this game? I do by the way.

Any extras?? Desperately trying to find two!

[Azuran]

Man, I can't wait for this. I would have loved to go to the game but I'm short with money right now.

Maybe next time.
