Support Local Soccer

The Support Local Soccer Campaign was started to help develop the game in Canada and the United States. Everywhere in the world the local game is supported and it's about time we did it here.

This video was made possible by the support of:

@Leoshpa The sport has many names, and you'll notice that both "football" and "soccer" are used in this video.

@seathanaich1 Hooray for petty regionalism!

Who "claimed" that local soccer arrived in Canada with Toronto FC? No one did. The dude speaking is an immigrant to the country who discovered the local game through TFC.

The horror!

IT'S ABOUT TIME! Love this video, and everyone has to support the canadian teams!

Sad to see only 10,000 views though.

Is right boys, everyone should support their local footy clubs. Football is tribal, out-of-towners just blur those boundaries.

LIVERPOOL FC - SPION KOPITES - SCOUSE AND PROUD!

@ItsCalledFootball14--Didn't hear or see the casting calls, obviously, or I would have stood up and done something. The first I heard of it was when I saw the video.

@poro424 I partially agree with what you said but please, if your going to refer to Canada AND the USA, say NORTH before America. Us Canadians don't like being called Americans. Other than that though, I do say football, because it's the true football. Not that American Football shit sport.

@CharlesWaddell Speaking specifics, I believe by saying that he meant local professional football. I followed the Lynx but when TFC arrived, of course I started going to those.

"End of 2006 - TFC was announced, and local soccer had arrived in Toronto..."

If that guy really supported "local soccer" he would have known that the Toronto Lynx had been around for over a decade.

@poro424 It's both, you geographically-challenged turd.

[poro424]

its not soccer its football you american idiots

@marybonevelle We put out plenty of open casting calls Mary. If you were concerned about equal representation why did you not reach out and get involved? It's easy to criticize, it's much harder to stand up and do something.

This video was created specifically to appeal to residents in Southern Ontario and to get people of different ethnic backgrounds to support the Canadian team. In fact, they went to great lengths to get people of different backgrounds to appear in this video. But, why no women soccer players, fans, or other female personalities? Anyone who's been to a TFC game can see that a large number of the fans are females. Know your audience. Come on.
