Toronto in June is a very good place to be and thanks to some fortuitous timing the Albion Road team was there. Even better we were able to attend the Toronto FC - Kansas City Wizards Major League Soccer match at BMO Field. While the result on the field was something of a letdown (0-0 with only a couple of real chances) the atmosphere in the stadium was magnificent. We were treated to a gorgeous summer day, passionate fans and friendly hospitality. Here's a few photos that hopefully capture the experience.

 

A special thanks to Eddy Perez for joining me on this excursion and taking some outstanding photos!

Probably the best chance of the game, well saved by the Wizards' keeper.

At this point, I'll take the draw. When are you coming to KC cousin Jeremy? I suspect you'll find our park leaves a bit to be desired...

I do need to head out that way soon Mr G!

Your converted minor-league baseball park isn't so great but there's a new one on the way if I'm not mistaken. Should be a beauty.
