ESPNsoccernet - MLS - Galarcep: Toronto fans' 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."

Toronto was great during the World Cup...many cultures love the game and share the passion. TFC is great for this city and soccer fans!

These comments don't surprise me.

I was in Canada when Brazil beat Germany in the 2002 WC Final and the atmosphere was absolutely phenomenal.

The WC06 was crazy as well...there are a lot of Italians in Canada and it was crazy...especially in Toronto. Good memories.
