Toronto FC needs Montreal
Now I'm not a big soccer fan but that's why I'm writing this. Toronto is new team in the MLS with little to no rivals in the league. Soccer in Canada isn't exactly the biggest sport but the ones like it abouslty love it to death. The only problem is that it can't draw people in. The team does have a strong fan base but when compared to the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Toronto Raptors its small. The solution to this is not hard to find as its just up the road in Quebec. If Montreal came to MLS, Toronto FC would have themselves a rival. Not only would this be good for Toronto and Montreal but as well as the MLS. Montreal can support a soccer club no problem because its the second biggest city in Canada behind Toronto of course. This would booast the game of soccer in Canada. I know I would watch more FC games if they played Montreal.
Very interesting thought on the topic, I dont know if the "rivalry" between TO and MTL would be as fierce as it is in the NHL but they are still 2 very competitive citys. cool article.
