FIFA Fan Festival Toronto was total madhouse during Canada's historic win

Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast tuned in to witness history on Thursday, when the men's national soccer team claimed its first-ever win in a FIFA World Cup with a decisive 6-0 rout of Qatar — and there were scenes of celebration across the nation, including right here in Toronto.

For those not among the crowd at Vancouver's B.C. Place, FIFA Fan Festival events were the next best thing, and it was a certifiable madhouse at Toronto's Fort York, where thousands of supporters converged to witness this heritage moment in Canadian sports.
