I wonder how many of those players were from the US, Canada or Britain.]]>

Wow, I didn't know Toronto FC fans could read, let alone type comments on a blog!

good on yah!

I never understood the idea of singing national anthems at sporting events. between the overpriced athletes scratching themselves, elbowing each other, injecting this, swallowing that, or in the special case of soccer: catching the vapours and flailing on the field if an opponent even whiffs by them; getting patriotic for a minute doesn't work.

and before you go telling me how I never played on a team or been to a stadium, I've always been an athlete and I've competed with and against some of the best and I never felt the need to have to have an anthem get me amped.]]>

Like I said before, think about what your reaction would be if they HADN'T acknowledged Canada as they did the US and England. When I thought initially they wouldn't play O Canada I wasn't all that surprised and no, I wasn't one of those booing. The fans added to the All-Star game just as they do every game. 

They should have brought out all three flags at the same time. MLS to blame, not the US and that was the reaction. Criticize the fans all you wish (not that they don't deserve some) but what would TFC be without them?]]>

I lied, one more comment. Another article that points out what I had written a few times before.

DAMN!  I loved that building!  When you're riding your bike up Yonge Street that sign is there for you to help you up the top of the hill...  When you stand on the Beltline Bridge over Yonge St., the sign is there...  And now it's going to be another soulless ugly condo in its place!  *FUCK!*]]>

@duthie

See Dave's last comment and my countless last ones.  You don't need to go back in time. So you were a victim of circumstance then.  Cry me a river, man. Still doesn't take away from the fact that you guys were classless ass clowns.]]>

that's right Dave, but as I said in my 9:47 post it was ridiculous. I'm not defending the booing, i'm pointing out the reasoning of it for those who are stirring the pot.]]>

@binlazer

I'll make sure and go back in time and let everyone know the proper way of going about this. we'll get 20,000 to chant something negative in unision towards the MLS.
And as I pointed out to Dave, by the way the ceremony was done and announced you could see why people resorted to what happend.]]>

I see that they reacted like insecure children, and that booing a visitors anthem is classless no matter what the provocation.]]>

@dulthie

It's been explained already that booing during an anthem is an embarrassment. Fair enough, MLS screwed up.  Give them a call and tell them. Don't make us look like idiots and convey your disdain when the US anthem is being played.

Give me a break - they weren't going to play the Canadian anthem? It's not like the game was being played in Iraq or something.]]>

@Dave
When the ceremony commenced and you see only the Union Jack and the U.S. flag. come on the field and the P.A. Announcer ask everyone to rise for the singing's of the anthems with no mention of the Canadian anthem at all you would see why people reacted the way they did.]]>

@ Duthie

From the linked story - "Pte. Scott Newlands, of the Queen's Own Rifles, who sang an amazing O Canada". You believe that they just grabbed him as you were booing and said "Hey, we screwed up - can you go out there and sing the anthem for us?"  Right, that makes sense.]]>

"I didn't have to be there. Try explaining the ignorant attitude displayed last night to the international soccer community, event organizers and so on."
Posted by: binlazer at July 25, 2008 11:20 AM 

Something tells me that the International soccer folks have dealt with much bigger problems - try hooligans killing each other with baseball bats and knives.]]>

@binlazer

it's been explained already, people were displeased with the MLS organizers not the U.S. Anthem itself. The U.S. Anthem is played at every TFC game is welcomed with a warm reception. Might I also add that TFC fans that travelled to Chicago a few weeks ago sang the Anthem louder then anyone else in attendence at that game.]]>

@Dave
Then please explain to me how they decied to play God Save the Queen and the U.S. Anthem, then have the P.A. announcer go on to announce the reserves for the All Stars before they ran out with the Canadian flag and play the anthem. Again you weren't there.]]>
