I had a blast today at Toronto FC vs Kansas City game at BMO field. That was my first ever coming to a live soccer match ^__^. My buddy (a Life size Sports Dictionary
) from work got me a ticket at the Northend Elite supporter group section so props to him for getting me the ticket.
You know watching a game on tv and live are totally different thing. It’s brand new experience and not to mention I was at the support section. Those guys were really loud ^__^ and got me into the mood. Without realizing it, I started trying to sing a long with their chants. Watching Toronto Raptors at ACC is nothing compares to watching Toronto FC playing. Toronto FC > Toronto Raptors nuff said.
The supporters were crazy because they were throwing streamers at Kansas City player during corner kick. Of course…. I threw one too
for fun.
Overall the game was dominated Toronto FC as they had a lot chances and managed to score twice by Amado Guevara. The second one was from a free kick and he put it beautifully on top left corner.
Pictures from the game and at BMO field.
Guess who is on the pic above ? It’s Claudio Lopez the Argentinian. He plays for Kansas City now. Any soccer fans at least have heard about him before
Guevara is taking a free kick.

Ā The game finished at 5:30 and I got home around 7:45 pm. I took me around 45 minutes to get out from the parking lot and another 1 hour 15 minutes to go home. Traffic jams are like everywhere from Gardiner Express Way, Don Valley Parkway and 401 Yonge exit. The only reason I could think of is because TTC on strike today so everyone was driving to the game. In addition, Toronto Raptors also played today at 2:30 pm so it adds more to the traffic.
Start Rant
At this point of time, I really ****ing hate TTC and their stupid union. Bunch of greedy ******** honestly. TTC is already become a necessity for City of Toronto so without it, the whole city is in a big trouble. I hope the new rule that makes TTC is an essential part of Toronto goes through so they can’t just go on strike whenever they feel like it. And what more is that I have to go early on monday to work to avoid traffic which also means I have to wake up earlier than usual.

Ah, my friends are also pissed about the TTC Strike. For me, I got my own car, so I don’t worry about it. It looks like you had a fun day. Getting home is hell in downtown. I know because I used to go to downtown a lot. Now, I wonder when the TTC strike will end. I hope it’ll end by Monday, so I can get to downtown (don’t want to drive downtown) in time to get the bracelet for the Gordon Ramsay signing in Eaton Centre. Yes, I like cooking.
Some services are already back and I heard on the radio that street cars fully operate.
All services are expected to be back on Sunday Evening.

Hi Evan. Thx for visiting my blog. It was really fun watching the game live since it’s a brand new experience for me. My coworker got me the ticket and he is in NEE. His name is konstantin (stan) and you most likely know him :).
Yeah!
Stan is a great guy. Was in NEE from the beginning too.
I know him quite well actually. A real top notch guy.
Are you a photo-editor too? Haha, I dont know what he does, but he edits photos pretty good, so hes a photo-editor to me!
He is a graphic designer and a really good one ^^.
Nah I am not a photo editor. Photography is just a new hobby I just recently picked up 3-4 months ago aside from blogging.
He is probably bumming out this long weekend because his favorite team lost 3-0 to Arsenal (my fav. team) ^^;;
Hahaha.
Newcastle Sucks!=P!
