Hey gang,

on TFC TV Julian said he was going to be at the Vancouver match @ BMO. Can you guys make a chant for him to make him feel welcomed. I think it would be great to show him what Toronto can provide (except natural grass). :canada:

Hell, I'm sure Jono will be there too, so you can make a nice chant for him as well. But, out of respect of Julian, it might be in poor taste.

I would love to rip into Jonathan...but it has been said before and I agree, out of respect for the only JDG...if we do anything, let's do it for Julian and ignore Jonathan. Julian would probably want it that way. It is his brother after all...even if he is a sniveling gloryhunter...

Oh, and that is all from me on this I'll let you guys rip Jono a millionth asshole as usual.

I don't give a shit about the respect factor, he chose not to play for us, he can deal with it.

Well it looks like they have been trying to promote it a lot and for a good while too. I hope this game sells out! I'm bringing 4 of my friends who have never been to a game and I want them to be as impressed as I was at my first game. Also I heard the atmosphere on Saturday was shit (I couldn't make it) so it would be nice to show JDG what we can really bring. Anyone have any idea how the ticket sales are going for the Canada Cup so far??

Not going as well as expected in MLSinToronto's own words. They were still promoting the games saturday at the game so they obviously have lots of tickets left.

Put it this way, I just checked ticketmaster and searched for 8 tickets and found them no problem. I then checked for 4 tickets in other sections and found them as well. That can't be good, truly dissapointing :mad:

I've bought 6 tickets to these games already just to take my buddies that have been dying to go all season. I am using this as an opportunity to convert my friends for the future but if the atmosphere ain't the same as a regular TFC game they will probably ask me what all the fuzz is about.

instead of making up songs or chants for players that DON'T play for our team, why don't we make up ones for the ones that do?

last I checked, we don't really sing for Tebily, Edwards, Harmse, Robinson, Marshall, Smith and probably a few others.

I see it the other way.

Beatles tunes are so well known that it helps people get on board.

Pick an obscure melody and you will find the problems we have been experiencing.

Pick something the masses know and the masses will be willing to follow along.

exactly.. I thought that "Go West" was well known until the "Stand up for the TFC" debacle...

actually, the only time I heard that song work was in Montreal ("One-nil! To the TFC!"), and that's because it was all the hardcores out.

... there are a lot of good ideas for chants and songs, but most of them won't work because the majority will not have heard the original song before, and turn it into "Stand up for the TFC" part deux.

Same here...I've finally been given the opportunity to bring my friends and I'm worried the atmosphere just won't be the same. I talk about TFC to them constantly and they want to see for themselves just how good the experience is. Hopefully they sell these games out so I don't look like an idiot lol.

I came up with that one at the first reserve game of the season. That and "We've got that Patrick Phelan" to the tune of that Righteous Brothers song.

Obviously, we have to change the lyrics to that Phelan one. "We've lost that Patrick Phelan, now he's gone, gone, gone... woah-oh-oh!" :D

Not sure why making a nice welcoming to Julian seems like a problem. Maybe I just figured TFC and the Canadian national team had more of a connection than it does.

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised no bigger clubs have come in for Jules this offseason. I've seen a couple of his teammates linked with Barca and Arsenal but nothing for Jules.... at least I haven't seen anything. I believe he's got one year left on his deal at Depor and the club's in big debt so I doubt they'd say no to any respectable offer. It would be pretty sweet to go out and pick up a JDG Barca shirt.

Anyone else think that he could become a true household name in Canada if he was transferred to one of the 4 big English clubs? Obviously the EPL is way more mainstream in Canada than La Liga and his visibility would be huge playing for one of those clubs. He's certainly the first Canadian international with the talent to do so.

No I think there are a boat load of tix left. I, for one, could not afford both games. I pitched my VANC games to friends at the office, and I kept the MTL game. I have a feeling the game will be close to a sell out, but it may be a lot of walk-up, need something to do because I'm in Toronto on Canada day traffic. Hence ho-hum atmosphere.

Montreal is going to be a lot better.

to be honest i believe that for jdg to become truly a big name in this country he is going to have to lead canada to a world cup, then while at the world cup lead us to atleats the second round, the unfortunate thing with north american sports is they seem to only immortalize players when they play in games of that sort of magnitude and produce memorable results, donovan bailey anyone??

I hope you're wrong, but I agree.
I know a lot of people find it hard to believe me when I say a player on the national team plays for La Liga. They joke about him being a bench player but then are in shock when I tell them where he plays for. Although the La Liga glory hunters usually "pretend" to not care if it has nothing to do with Real Madrid or Barcelona. I do admit that beyond JDG, Real Madrid and Barcelona, I know next to nothing about La Liga. I do like Barcelona's kit though lol.:taz:

Ah man, keep the guy in Spain that's where his game belongs. He's a smooth technical player that can control the mid. England is too much run and gun, he'd get fouled out of the game too often.

I agree from a marketing standpoint he'd be better off in England. But even a name club like the big two in Spain would do the trick.
