Toronto fan passion unsurpassed in MLS

"I knew it would be like this even before the team started playing because this city loves football," Zimmer said. "Before Toronto FC got here, you could see the city shut down when the World Cup would be going on, there's that much love for the sport."

"A lot of other cities and clubs in the league need to learn from this," Reyna said . "Whatever they do, it's here in Canada. We love soccer in America, but for whatever reason they really get behind their team here."

"In Central America, with the U.S. teams, we'd get stuff thrown at us, but not as bad as that," Reyna said. "[Toronto fans have some] good aim. They were wrapping it around my ankles and I really had to stop. It was in the way, but it's good. That's great and they've really been a breath of fresh air in this league with the atmosphere they create."
