According to Z-103 (Canada's news leader for kids and ginos of all ages), players will be at Yonge/Dundas before the screening of the Euro final on Sunday.

Didn't see this anywhere else.

Speaking of player run-ins
(and for that matter right around that area)

i ran into and had a quick chat with Ricketts yesterday before the jays game... around 6ish at Eaton Center....

I think Big Bruva was with him (Big Bruva was that you?)....
if it was, you seemed rather focused on your shopping
Ricketts looked like the poor tag-along....

(I told him we expect a big game from him vs vancouver)

on a side-note...
Why the need to be decked out in his own kit going about town???
Shouldnt the whole city know his face by now!!!

hahahaha

We don't have any German or Spanish (from Spain) players. It will be good to use the oppurtunity to get Euro fans to become aware of TFC.

p.s. I haven't been in town for a major tourny since 2000, they show the game at Yonge/Dundas?

ya kinda weird.. unless they send Dunivant (who's out for a month now).
There's a reserve game 10am the next day, so the first team and the reserves won't be back for it.

I don't think Dundas Square was as developed then as it is now. I've honestly never heard of any public showing previously. This seems to be the first to me.

Ye I believe this is the first year.

And if by chance TFC players don't show up, don't shoot the messenger. :D

Back in 2000, Dundas Square (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dundas_Square) was still buildings - it's very different now. I'd imagine that now it would be a pretty decent place to show it on a screen - there's enough of them to choose from :)

So is anyone planning on going there or know if any proper football fans will be there? I wanna go because it has potential to be like those FanZones in Europe during the major tournaments but if there isn't going to be any football fans than it probably wouldn't be worth going.

I'll be there with a few buddies.

If anyone going, rock your TFC gear!

Not one TFC player.....fucking stupid kiddy radio station.

They were giving a bunch of TFC merchandise away at least.

Fun experience still. Was well worth the trip just for what happened to my buddy. He was at one of those inflatable places where the speed of your kick is measured. When he went to kick he planted his foot awkwardly and the whole piece of turf slid. Then the thing deflated on my buddy. He got pretty embarrassed since there was like a hundred people watching him. Funny shit man. I have a pic of just before he slid, but I'd feel bad posting it.:lol:

Do you have more pictures of the place in general? I wanna see how many people made it there and what the atmosphere was like. I couldn't make it there yesterday because there weren't enough people interested in going all the way there to watch the game.

Nah ,I didn't really care to take pictures. It was a decent crowd. Mostly casuals. Spanish outnumbered the Germans by only a bit.
