Hi there I am an avid fan of Canadian soccer and i just wanted to say hello and greetings to all my friends in the great north!!!!!!! Any Links fans here? Anyone getting into that MLS team in Toronto?
I have been know to enjoy a round or two. Too cold to golf here though. Perhaps in 4-5 weeks if the snow is gone by then. Sorry, I am being a jerk here. Did you mean the Lynx?
Re: Re: Hello Canada Yes, yes, yes! I meant the A-Leauges, im sorry.. I have been the Canada, its nice country!! Might come in the summer there too!!!! All i got as a souvenir from my family in Canada is the Canadian National Team hockey jersey! Very nice too!!! In israel, we only got one place to play golf! But its good!! What do Canadians normally do in the cold with soccer?
Re: Re: Re: Hello Canada Well in Vancouver Canada, we play it all year round as it's not cold here! I'd also say that the chances of Toronto getting MLS (and supporting it) are about the same as Western Canadians deciding who becomes Prime Minister.
I think Canada should get an MLS leauge.. It will help Canada in the soccer standing! I was there, i saw how hopeless it was. Ask the man for a Football game, and he turns to the CFL!! :yuck: and all you got is curling! Curling Curling Curling?!?!? 3 stooges should be, Larry, Curling, a moe!!!!! How can u guys survive? MLS will help! Toronto blue jays play in a american type leauge, so do Maple leaves and Raptors... What will be the name of the new Toronto team? Toronto Flyers?
Actually Kappa, trashing the CFL (and Curling for that matter) is not a good idea. MLS in Toronto (which will never happen) would be as big as the NASL was in Toronto. http://www.ussoccerplayers.com/resource_center/soccer_business/323182.html
Kappa, How exactly does someone in Israel become an 'avid Canadian football fan'? We have trouble enough attracting 'avid fans' here. Anyho..... If you would like to see where the true Canadian football die-hards go try this site. http://www.canadian-soccer.com Follow the links to the fan forum. Ps – if you watch curling long enough it actually – and strangely – grows on you. Hurrrrrrryyyyyyyyy
Curling needs fights. However just because i'm not interested in it I'm not going to trash it. What bugs me is coverage of crap like WWE and other rubbish that takes up space on our sports networks instead of coverage of soccer.
I know Canada, i travel there I get the scoop! I got family there, i get the info!! Plus, i also have satelite dish, i get some Canadian sports coverage I just didn't see any soccer in Canada! All this curling going on...Manitoba vs. Sakatchewon and stuff!!! No fights
The team nickname is still a long way off from being chosen, as the existence of the MLS team itself is still a long way off. If it happens, I doubt the team will be called the "Flyers" - that name is too associated with a certain hockey team in Philadelphia to be used for the soccer team. If you had to guess at this stage, one could to worse than "Blizzard" - that was the name of the last pro-soccer team in Toronto to be considered "high-profile", and there are still many, many people in the city who are unaware that there have been other pro soccer teams in Toronto since the days of the NASL Blizzard.
But the MLS leauge's gets more attention! Thats why it is soooo good!!!!!! How come Canada never hoted a World Cup before?
The MLS gets very little coverage up here. The most one might get is the 3 games shown by ABC. If one has a "grey market" dish, then they might get more. Canada put a bid in 1986 only to get rejected.
Canada doesn't have the stadia for a World Cup bid. They are building a new stadium in Toronto, but one swallow doesn't make a Summer.
Say..... I am not familiar with Toronto, but where exactly are they planning on building this WC stadium?? Scarvabrough?? Misissuaugha? Vaughan? North York???? Oakvill? Thornhill
Kappa, As mentioned above, concrete plans have not been laid out. However, a downtown location is preferred. The CNE grounds might make the most sense (location of the former exhibition stadium -- home of the Blue Jays, Argos and for a time the NASL Blizzards). A hunch.... You won't hear anything until the 2010 Winter Olympics are awarded. If Vancouver doesn't get the bid, it is likely Toronto will bid for 2012 and the stadium will be part of that plan.
C'mon, you Canuck's can't be that guillable? This guy is obviously yanking your chain! MLS soooo goood? Canadain sports coverage on Satalitte?
Maybe he is... however, all I see is someone asking a question. If the poster derives humour from my response...so be it.
What i do?!?!?! I just wanted to know a couple of things on the way Canadian soccer is dealt!!!! If you really wanna know...i manage to get some Canadian sports coverage here.....but all i get is Hockey and Curling!!!!! Curling, Curling, Curling!!!
