The Canadian Pride Effect...
What's everyones take on TFC fans rooting for VAN to a certain extent, like me personally I can't help but hope that the caps do atleast top 5 in the west, even when MTL comes in I hope they do alright... Obviously under us in the standings at allllll times though lol.
Like I've seen some fans act ridiculas over this and say your no true fan if you like the caps or mtl, like really?, like any other league/sport I root for us Canucks.
I dont care they are Canadian at all... I support TFC and that's it
There's another Canadian team?Originally Posted by ManUtd3TFC
I thought they added two American clubs and a Swiss one this year?!?!?!?
Can you support Man city and cheer for Man United?
End of story.
It really depends on rivalries in my opinion.
Vancouver isn't really our rival, and that's where I stand. Montreal on the other hand, could grow to be something special, like the Leafs-Canadiens of the past. The cities themselves have a huge history of rivalry between them.

Blasphemy!! lol
Seems like Canadians have a traditional to root for each other instead of American teams if their teams are out of playoffs in NHL. I except the same in soccer as well.
End of thread.. lol. FACT!
I'm a TFC supporter who has 'Caps seasons tickets and some 'Caps garb cuz this is where I live. I cheer for the 'Caps in every game except when they play TFC.
I don't see what your saying about supporting United and shitty, like Vancouver is across the country... I guess MTL is city but I only say I'd hope they do okay cause I'm French-Canadian. Born in Toronto area, but I always support the french teams, leaf fan obv and no I don't want mtl ever finishing above the leafs but if were out I atleast hope they do alright in the playoffs, as a Canadian supporter not a Canadien supporter
Good way of putting it, I'd rather see a Canadian team do good over an American anyway I guess is what I kinda saying?
'yeaaaa sure ya do, hypocrite, wats that in your sig,... Colo 4 life?, tfc and that's all?

Yeah, I can't help but hope Vancouver are successful (except for whenever they play us), just because of the Canadian factor.
Montreal are another matter, however. It's hard to clearly articulate why that is.

This is where I stand. Although when Montreal made it to the semis in Concacaf I found myself chearing for them for the first time which I don't typically do in any sport. I just desperately wanted to show Mexico and the rest of the world that soccer in the MLS/USL isn't that bad.
This is one topic though that is almost not even worth debating. Everyone will have their own opinions, and none of them are right or wrong.
All that can come out of this is people telling others who they can and can't chear for outside of TFC. That never ends well.
This isnt hockey. We didnt invent this game and I have no desire, like I do in hockey, to see someone "bring the Cup home".
I would love to see the Canucks win the Stanley Cup, but the Whitecaps can go in shite.
Though there is a part of me that wants to see Vancouver do well if only to embarrass TFC management even more. I hate my own team so much.
Vancouver is just another team in the league, I have no reason to cheer for them, if they win the MLS Cup, or the Canadian Championship, or the Concacaf CL, that means TFC didn't. No thanks.

yep, every other team in the league can go straight to hell
I cheer for my club, I respect the ability of other canadian sides as I do with any side at all... the only time I will cheer for a team other then TFC is when TFC is not involved. ie Champions League when TFC lost the NCC, and Montreal went to the Quarter Finals.
Id be shocked if any Montreal or Vancouver fans felt the same way about TFC.
IE they dont care about us in any manner
i'd rather cheer for Vancouver then for columbus..
i don't have a hate on for vancouver like some do, i just see them as any other team in the mls ( well a little above the rest of the american teams) but i hate the crew...
LMFAO.....
You are talking about Canadian teams..... so before you put your foot in your own mouth, I will save u the trouble.
If you asked if I had to support 1 team and 1 only then my sig would answer that.
You can support Van city and MTL if you want.. thats your choice. when it comes to MLS or Canadian teams, I support 1.
anything else you need clarified??

Oh... they do.
I support TFC only.
I hope Vancouver always finishes in a worse position than TFC and I hope they never advance further than TFC in any competition.
So when TFC wins the supporters shield and MLS Cup, it's fine if Vancouver is second in the league and the MLS Cup losing side.
Montreal? I hope they finish dead last every year and never ever make the playoffs. I hate Montreal.
i don't think you will find actual supporters supporting other teams in the same league
i was quite pleased to see vancouver have two guys sent off...you can ask my friends, at the pub i was yelling at the tv when hassili scored on the PK
i dont support Van or Mtl, i Support Manchester United and Toronto FC, thats it, theres teams i like, AC Milan, Blackpool, Watford, Vancouver, Montreal (canadian pride on those 2), FC Edmonton, CSKA Moscow, FC Zurich, ....
Thats what im saying in this topic, thats why its a tough topic lol im misunderstood, im by no means buying MTL/VAN kits or scarfs etc, im just saying i back them when it dosnt involve TFC, if that makes sense
I cheer only for TFC
but I want Vancouver to do just a tad below TFC just like Montreal forever and ever AMEN
Never cared for the city or its inhabitants, so no.
