shheees my god, i dont think like u guys. Pretty funny because as soon as we have a canadian nt play here and see all the people cheering for the opponents, were gonna have people here bitching and crying that people should be cheering for Canada bla bla bla, but when i suggest that it seemed wrong that a guy brings a puerto rico flag in canada day im enemy #1

Does Canada Day change the fact that Velez is from PR? Maybe you didn't notice but it's not the first time that guy has brought his PR flag to the game.
well i haven't noticed before. and like i said any time i wouldn't mind, but again is he ashamed to show some of his canadian side on canada day? it's just one day. Im seriously surprised that im the only one that seemed to have a problem with this. Even Brennan yelling out to him "Hey its canada day" and he's right, i just didnt get it
Whoop di dee doo. I saw people wearing soccer jerseys from other countries yesterday too. That pisses me off more than respecting one of our players.
No it doesn't but its one day a year, just one day when the country should get a bit of love instead of always being the bridesmaidOriginally Posted by Shaughno
Enemy #1? Because someone disagrees with you? LOL!
A little sensitive aren't we?
I do believe he was wearing a Canada scarf.
Why can't you support both players and country? You do realize that even though it was Canada Day, it was also TFC game day. Meaning we support our players right?
I didn't look, but did nascar have his nations of TFC up?
I find it odd, but under the circumstances (Velez) not enitrely disrespectful. I agree with Shaughno though... wtf was up with all the international jerseys there yesterday? Must be the only soccer shirt they own I guess. Leave it at home and wear a red t-shirt or something.
i dont get it? thats almost basically the same thing. whoop di dee doo.
Well you can support a player without having his nation's flag, if he's brought it to the last 8 home games, I'm sure Marco would survive it being missing for 1 game on our national day. If buddy's intent on showing his love for Velez make a banner, that'd show more effort than just buying a flag anyway.
No it's nowhere near the same thing. Think about it.
1) Peurto Rico flag - to support Marco Velez, of TFC.
2) Wearing an Italy/T&T/whoever the fuck else national jersey - on Canada Day... when neither team or player from said country is playing.
Please do inform me how they are the same.
I don't think he did have them up...unless he was in a different section yesterday.

I've seen it at 2 now. I believe it's a new flag and he's just started bringing it out. Why isn't he allowed to show support for our player? I don't understand. There is NO BANNER SPACE in front of him. He's in the middle of 112-113, literally nowhere to hang a 'new' banner.
Did you do something special to support a player from TFC for yesterday's game? If not, I do believe you have no place to comment on someone else's support of said player.
No he didn't. He was in 112 for the first half and 127 for the second.
Also I don't have a problem with anyone showing Velez a little love regardless of what day it is...he is one guy who sure shows the fans how much he loves playing here.

I also saw this guy with an Ontario flag on Canada Day!!!
So did i....my son by accident stepped on it at the Rhino, does that make him a Quebecois?
We have German Internationals on our team? huh? what number are they?
Thank you. Canada Day? Ok... I wasn't at the stadium to celebrate Canada Day. I was there to see TFC win and support them through the battle. Part of that support goes to... *gasp* PLAYERS!
Or Costa Ricans?
Or English Int'ls?
I actually saw a warm up Azzuri jacket as well.
Seriously... ^^ that is way more pointless and frustrating than worrying about supporting a TFC player on Canada Day.
So seeing as JJ came on as sub then that suddenly validates the T&T jersey?
Ok, one fucking country out of the lot.See my post above yours.
I'm certain this has been discussed to the nth degree....but...wearing another team's sweater (club or country) to a TFC is ridiculous....i simply asked these morons when ManU or the English national team is coming out on to the pitch....God even the older gentleman that sits infront of me that been a Bayern fan since the day his mother shit him out wears a TFC sweater!
dude we obviously have different views on this so im just gonna leave this. I just think that its a bit sad that people can't show pride for the country they live in for one day.
Wow, I never knew we had so many sarcastic drama queens on this forum. One can't even give his opinion about the flag issue without receiving childish answers.
maybe he was a descendant of John Diefenbaker
Did you miss the part about him wearing a CANADA SCARF?
i didnt see any....
I was pretty sure he was wearing one, but I have been wrong in the past. Regardless, who's to say he hadn't been partying all day in the name of Canada Day?
Maybe like myself, he chose to celebrate Canada Day on Monday night so that the entire day was dedicated to TFC?
Fuck You Both!!! Shut Up Already!!
