Yes, among Canada's oldest professional league competitions, it's the Canadian Soccer League.
Toronto FC fans will know it for providing TFC a simulacrum of youth development (TFC Academy), and
the rest of us know it from stumbling onto it late on a Sunday evening on cable access television.
Now THAT's a rivalry
How can it be?
It's not like the Impact will get promoted to MLS anytime soon. And you can't graft on rivalries
from other sports—the grudge match between the Maple Leafs and the Canadiens has its own glorious
history in the NHL. You'd have to go back to the Carls-Rite Cup matches between Toronto and
Montreal soccer all-stars (1914-1931) for a proper Quebec-Ontario rivalry.
...and I like it!
Following my weird and wacky vision for a new kind of MLS, which garnered some suprisingly positive
reactions, the Canadian Stretford End is pushing the idea for an interim Canadian Soccer League
(no, not that CSL) now that Vancouver and Montreal, the two USL-1 finalists, are homeless.
Honduran fan as well as South Florida soccer historian Robert Scorca gives us a great foundation
regarding one of the pillars of our footballing history.
