Sweden – 2018 Joseph, July 3, 2018July 4, 2018 This is one legitimate Sweden fan, and they are harder to find than you think. I had suggestions from the Consulate General of Sweden, Toronto to try either the Gull & Firkin in the Beaches or Scallywags. I started at Gull & Firkin but at game time, there was only one fans assembled, I was sure to find more at Scallywags. There was at least one other fan at the bar downstairs, maybe two, but I didn’t want to loose my seat on the patio so I stayed upstairs. Only sharing three photos from the few I too, but they cover pretty much the full range of emotions for an individual watching a game. Would be interesting to study if it’s more or less stressful to watch a game alone, with supporters of your squad, or with supporters of the opposite team. Regardless, our man here was a true fans, our man here is Sweden World Cup Toronto. Date: July 3, 2018 Score of game: Sweden 1, Switzerland 0 Location: Scallywags, 11 St. Clair West, Toronto, ON Estimated number of fans at location: 3 Related

The anticipation for the clash of England and Colombia was palpable by the afternoon and the bar filled… Read More
2018 Iran – 2018 June 21, 2018June 25, 2018 I’ve had some really great experiences with Iranian fans over my 12 years doing this project. In fact, an Iranian fan in 2006 was the first and only fan to hand me a flag from their country. I still have it to this day. In 2014, with the Iran fans,… Read More
