But lets be honest, nothing is worse than someone saying "so, you're going to the FC game today. Who are the FC playing?"

I always want to answer with "Do you honestly believe the T in TFC stands for 'The'?"

When I hear "the FC", it often reminds me of this...

Funny, enough, had someone ask me today if I bought....or had seasons...to the FC. Not sure if he even understood the strange look I gave him

That used to bother me, too, but the more I think about it what other football club could you be talking about. TFC is THE football club - I guess. I don't know.

I'm sorry Ricky_Portugal about SL BENFICA spelling error. I was going by my husbands post. Will note it and look forward to game day! )

Yup. It's funny because people are hung up on the ignorance all around the name.

It's actually only nonsense if, and I get this a lot, if people drop "the".

"How's FC doing?" because FC follows Toronto its assumed a nickname and technically, it is, since it's a franchise and not a club.

"How's the FC doing?" is actually what we should be accepting since if there were no nicknames in NA we'd be talking about the FC vs the HC. Since there is we'll be hearing about just FC for a long time.

Now if one really wants to look for a reason to stick to only TFC the best reason is that soon the Argonauts Football Club will be moving in to BMO field.

Which FC do you mean?

[C.Ronaldo]

The SLB chant really wouldnt make much sense

just a warning this time for misuse, but next time time we'll have to pull out the portuguese yellow card.


But whocares, SPORTING is really the better team and who should be visiting Toronto

[SS2006]

any word on the squads (ibra?) with the game being a week away

[SS2006]

? couldnt find it online or in the news

[oldtraffordPEI]

Well, today is the day. I wonder who will we will see, and who will play? I hope to see Cesar, always felt bad for him after the WC. Lets hope TFC gets a large crowd beforehand!

[jazzy]

No Ibramovic..or Cavanni.........and they advertised the shit out this ....same old crap ,......good game though Digne was superb ...quick team PSG.....BUT as few PSG supporters as there were most of them had Ibromovics shirt......I'm sure they wanted to see him .

Maybe he was asking if you were in the Fight Club?!

I'm curious how much were tickets for the game? I would be so pissed if I went and then don't even get to see Ibra.

[Red CB Toronto]

Was Julio in net ?

funny man

[Eastend]

He did play.

Julio of course was in net and always the classy guy . We were very close to him . Interesting all the Euro snobs can put us down but our fan support is second to none . I felt TFC showed more love to Julio than Benfica fans . Benfica brought a big team and played everyone . PSG didn't substitute much and seemed to play to win . Their players some young , many African descent , we're all fast and amazingly skilful . Benfica were bigger and stronger but beaten to the ball many times . Truthfully Benfica treated the game as a preseason game testing 'all' the players . It was watching a field full off Giovincos at times . Our cost for tickets$60 were basically not the most expensive and we were near the ground where everyone warmed up . I wanted to see PSG ...

I thought teams had a contractual obligation to play most of their starters in these games?

I like to think GvdW half-assed wave was directed at the few happy campers yelling his name. He got one touch I think

The Benfica fans were incredible with the back and forth chanting.

That was when MLS is running the show

no idea who runs this , it's from the U.S.....they call the shots . My beef is play who you want but Iheard many media adverts string come see Ibr...Cavanni etc...Now that is BS

[Ricky_Portugal]

benfica treated this game as i expected they have a much bigger tournament starting in august that the team as a whole values more then a glorified friendly they have eusebio cup starting in 2 weeks witch is named after they're most well known and important player who we benifca supporters refer to as the king. as far as that back in forth chanting across the stadium goes its different when you have a club with a history as benfica those songs echo 2 the rafters
