College Street erupts as Italy makes Euro finals

don't forget... Canada has a soccer team too - Support Local Football.

In fact, they are playing in Toronto to qualify for the World cup in September and October. It would be great to see support like this.

Awww, so cute how everyone somehow becomes an Italian once every 4 years.

Really?

Canadians are completely irrelevant in international soccer. If you want a support like this one, have a team with the history that the Italians have.

Hooligans? Don't be envious. Pure envy.

Cheers!!! Italy, good luck!

these are prettier hooligans don't you think?
envious!!

So tacky, so fake, and so Italian!

@phil = brilliant.

Thankfully the Irish don't shoot their own on full patios.

Every superiority complex is based on a deeply seeded inferiority complex. Think about that my fellow Canadians. This is a country built by immigrants of the same profile and social status, mainly the poor and illiterate. It is funny when you act like royalty and make fun of Italians. At the same time you exhibit all negative traits of your toothless ancestors and you have not acquired any of the positive ones that they developed back home since your Great-grandparents left.

Get your facts straight. Firstly, the man who was killed on College St. was not Italian and the suspect was not Italian either. It was tragic and had nothing to do with International soccer or The Italy game playing that day or Italy or anything nationality based. If you're too ignorant to understand theotive behind that killing, then you're better off keeping quiet about it. Most Italian-Canadians grew up watching Serie A soccer and love the sport and the heritage and have every right to celebrate their victory. And it's not only every 4 years that "everyone becomes Italian", Italians celebrate their culture in everyday life, and just get to share that celebration on a national level every 2 or 4 years. But beyond the pettiness of people showing hatred, any true soccer fan would appreciate the way that the two final teams have played throughout the tournament. So if you are going to comment, how about you comment on the fact that this entire tournament has been filled with amazing soccer by several European countries, and let it remain the friendly competition that it has been historically.

One hopes the TTC will be temporarily taking the streetcars off the usual hotspots once the match is say 60 mins in. The sight of idiots dancing on streetcar roofs beside a 600volt DC wire scares the bejesus out of me.
