Reason to Love Vancouver #1: Our Soccer Hooligans Behave Themselves

You gotta love the Southsiders’ team spirit.

But the Southsiders—the Whitecaps’ unofficial fan club, which occupies the southeast corner of BC Place and, at 1,200 members and growing, is the largest crew of organized supporters in Canada—would rather sing tweaked versions of Depeche Mode songs than riot any day.
