Bonjour oranjepalooza
Thank you for the report of the match.


I looked on Thursday evening at the match on the television of CBC. I liked well. While everybody to me in my family wanted to see playing David Beckham, it is Torontois of origin Dwayne De Rosario (play for Houston in MLS) who was the hero of the evening, I laughed well....

We could also see on the television, we could however see of numerous shirts in the terraces it is of the English selection, Manchester United, the Real Madrid or the Galaxy.

A beautiful feast of the football at Toronto stadium.


But the evening had badly begun because people hooted when we took flags of England and the United States on the ground, and not the canadian flag, and when we made the English hymns play and American. But it was maybe only because of a badly planned...Agents of the GRC ( federal policemen) have a bit further makes their entrance with the Canadian flag, and the Canadian hymn was understood
