Argh. As long as its a reserve match, I don't give 2 shits.
meh.
Will they have a designated section for the Lazio supporters?
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.

A little angry that you have completely dominated by Lazio the last 3 years? I'm excited to watch the circus which is AS Merda.
Huh? Angry about what now?
I'm not a Roma fan, I really don't even follow Serie A. But one thing I'm certainly not a fan of are fascists.
Hahaha, same old shit. You must have some blinders on to think Lazio is the only team with Fascist/Racist fans in Italy, none the less Europe. Lazio is the easy scape goat. Do some research of the Curva Nord and you would find out that only a few of supporters are the ones who are making asses out of themselfs. To label the club fascist is retarded.
Fuck Ensco, you always beat me to it!
Remember when those AMAZING Boca fans joined us in 112 for the River Plate Friendly?
thats dedication to your hate right there.
impressive.
Forza TFC
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
Step one done. There IS going to be a friendly at BMO.
Now what will it cost???

On my birthday no less! What are the chances I get a free ticket???
...I can hear you all laughing now.
If you don't ask, you don't get - when I was travelling through California, I got free tickets and gear (shirts/caps/jerseys) from the Padres, Giants and Dodgers. I e-mailed all the PR people and let them know I was passing through and they set me up. There is stuff like this set aside all the time.
Only wish I had that idea when we saw Real Madrid on my b-day a few years back!
Smarter move marketing-wise than Penarol. Lots of Roma fans in Toronto.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
If they give them to Season Ticket Holders for free the chances you getting one for free are astronomically good.

Meh. Another mid-season cash-grab friendly.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Which is exactly why there is a near 0% chance that they would be giving free tickets to SSHs. You don't pay a big team to play you just to reward your customers. Well maybe a more fan oriented team would to build a stronger bond with their supporters, but MLSE isn't going to spend that kind of money to do that.
I actually fully expect this game to be free for all SSH's. Why else would it be worthy of a "huge announcement" status? If its free, then its ok. I still probably wont' go though, I'm not a fan of friendly games at all.
Isnt that what all friendlies are? This was a very smart move by mlse, giving the hundred odd thousand Italian-Canadians a chance to see this legendary team. BMO will be full, for a change.
Agreed, this will easy get a bigger crowd than the following MLS game. The Italians I have spoken too already are feeling pretty chuffed at this moment. :@)
This.When are we going to get a "huge announcement" that actually benefits the competitiveness of our team? A player or two who can actually make us better? Another mid-season cash-grab friendly? So far with the new regime, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
I'm surprised that Belgers isn't trying to push this shit into the SkyDome. Looking at the Jays schedule it fits well.
Wed, 8/7 at Mariners 3:40p SNET-1, MLB.TV Fri, 8/9 Athletics 7:07p SNET-1, MLB.TV
If it's absolutely necessary to have another one of these cash-grab friendlies, why couldn't they have scheduled it for a bye week (assuming we have one left, I haven't looked at the schedule)?

I had to look up where Roma was...
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
And please, now that you've announced the game, feel free to charge as much as you want from Roma fans.

I'm told it has something to do with tomatoes.
I like tomatoes.
Count me in!
Gold star for this one, upvote this guy!
Completely agree with Jack's statement. This is just more mismanagement and bullshit money grabbing from our FO. Unfortunately the new regime that is here doesn't trump the guys making these decisions like Berine ect. Those guys are still here.
I almost hope that this has nothing to do with Leiweike and co. If it does then Jacks statement is right. We're right back where we were.
I hope this is a complete and utter failure and the building is either empty or full of Roma fans. Look good on them lets have an away game at home. Wonder how the lads on te squad feel about playing at home with a crowd full of away support?
Rediculous.
Did you see the crowd at Rogers Centre for Liverpool last year?
And the guys on the team (most of them I'd assume) love playing against this level of competition. For the young guys it's a glimpse of what it takes for them to achieve their goals. What kind of player they need to become.
Could they do without it? Sure. But it's never stopped MLSE from doing it before. Why do we expect them to stop now? LOL
