Toronto 'Til I Die?

[kodiakTFC]

I saw this post on BigSoccer and thought it would make a great off-season discussion topic over here. How many of you would say Toronto FC has become your true #1 team? It's an interesting question for footie loving Torontonians because beyond the traditional North American sports we have our pre-TFC footie allegiances abroad. After much thought I think TFC has ascended about Liverpool, Blue Jays and Leafs for my 'passion'. I didn't think I would care about another team more than Liverpool but after 6 seasons of going to the pitch every other weekend, TFC has kind of reluctantly grasped me.

For the purposes of this thread, forget national sides.

TFC...is the only team i support in this city.i have not spent a penny on any other team in toronto in about 12 yrs,and i will not.

[mowe]

I'm equally fanatical about TFC and the Raptors. Nothing else comes close. I could never support a team that doesn't represent my city.

Cause of Death: TFC. Anxiety, high blood pressure and liver failure.

[TFC07]

TFC is my number one team simply because soccer is my favourite sport, but Toronto Raptors are close second though. Maple Leafs? I lost a lot of pride of being a Leafs fan due to losing and type of hockey style they like to play.

[ManUtd4ever]

In my case, I would say I love the Leafs and TFC equally, the Jays are a close second, followed by the Raps and the Argos.

[Abou Sky]

I am still new to Soccer so TFC easily my fave team.

I think my TFC fanaticism has surpassed my Star Trek fanaticism though, and that is saying a lot.

[DangerRed]

Have been to Leaf and Raptor games, for free, luckily, but have never understood the excitement. As far as Toronto teams go, TFC is definitely the tops.

My absolute top team will always be Chelsea FC, just as football will always be my top game.

Like the Herpes, I hate that the girl that I fell in love with gave them to me but its a constant reminder of a foolish love and possibly a weapon against those that break your heart afterwards. There's a joke there, a smarter man will make a good one.

[TFC/Everton]

Toronto FC is my #1. Hands down.

[Derko]

TFC is #1

Canadian National Teams are always my favourite to follow. TFC is the greatest club in my heart and I know they will be the first Canadian club to....(you finish the sentance). They have done damage and have displayed hunger for victories even when shit was not handled well. The money and more importantly support is strong at the core. Our time will come.

[tfcleeds]

TFC. #1 Toronto team? Yes. #1 overall team? No.

[Cuppy]

Growing up with the leafs my whole life I never thought I could focus my attention to anything else. Hate to admit it but I hated soccer growing up and never could understand the passion one could have for the sport. TFC came along and gave me the kick in the bag that I would deserve and I have never been the same since. Leafs have been placed easily on my back burner and I'm not afraid to admit it.

This ^ and throw in your city? Done.

[__wowza]

TFC is number one for me. i've always wanted a home side and now i have it.
spurs and bruins are tied for second.

[eustacchio]

I think my signature says it all.

[TFC_Allez]

I know I am, I'm sure I am...Toronto 'til I die.

As a kid, I grew up watching and loving Juventus. Since 2007, that's faded to the point where I can barely name half of their starting XI.
TFC is most definitely my #1 team across all sports. The Buffalo Sabres are a close second. You can blame my parents for that one...

Not sure what it is about this team/franchise, but I love them...no matter how much they've hurt us fans. Call it unrequited love lol

[Detroit_TFC]

In world football 7 years is a blip but I'm not worried about the grand scheme. I've had plenty of justifications to turn away, including simple geography. But I just couldn't even imagine how that life would be like, even after just 7 years. I have several teams that I live or die by, which makes my life complicated. TFC is one of them.

[OgtheDim]

TFC, Barrow AFC, Liverpool...in that order.

Home, Heritage, Youth.

[PopePouri]

TFC, SA cricket team, Leed United in that order.

[Walms]

TFC is my hometown club, and I will always support my hometown above any other club/country in the world. I'm at BMO and I have shaird good times, bad times and spilt blood(beer) with the supporters and the team, TFC will alwaqys be #1 in my heart

...that being said, I do really enjoy watching my German Soccer and Cheering on Die Roten from time to time ;-)

[Joe Kool]

Toronto FC is the only team I follow all year round and the only team that would really bother me if I ever missed a game and I haven't missed any since day 1. No other team has had that effect on me. I guess it is a combination of my home town getting a big club team in my favourite sport. I am hooked. Imagine if we won anything more than the V-Cup...

[Oldtimer]

I watched the Jays back in the day, but TFC currently is my only Toronto club, and the only team in any sport that I actually support.

I have other footy clubs in Europe that I follow but I can't consider myself a real supporter of them. I wouldn't fly to Europe specifically to see them, although I might take in a game if I was there for other reasons.

In hockey I'm a lifetime Habs fan, like my folks, but hockey is way below soccer for me.

In international football, Canada always comes first.

[Red4ever]

Internationally Canada comes first. I know they said leave it out but it has to be said. How a club could ever come before a country, I'll never understand.

Arsenal and Packers games have given me more to cheer about. I suspect if TFC ever does, they could move up the list in a hurry.

[dutch]

I thought I was a liverpool fan more than anything, even TFC. so I went to the liverpool vs TFC game and when I saw all those people in liverpool jerseys standin around downtown. somthing struck a chord in me, I hated them suddenly and powerfully. this is where I was raised..my city, this is my club. I hope we stomp anybody anything from that day forward.

Milan, Milan, sempre con te. It will never change. I love Milan, I love Milano. I am a Milanista. I support TFC, I love Toronto, but MLSE has soured the love.
