The circus comes to Toronto FC. Are you ready?

Of note, this little gem:

"We do think about Asia where we will take a friendly tour in the next two years.” (TL)

^Uh, Queen City? The writer obviously has us confused with Buffalo. Other than their culinary contributions to the world (wings and beef on weck) I'm not sure I like being confused with Buffalo.

Very interesting article.

I think TFC can equally be popular as Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto. There's a lot of soccer fans in the city who are very passionate. "Superclub" TFC could trigger something special in North America soccer world if everything goes well.

Its getting creepy that I totally can hear him saying all that. He really seems to be able to play the part for everyone.

Actually the moniker has been used in the past. It's legit.

Queen City is a better nickname than hogtown!
