Toronto hosted 6 World Cup matches. Here are some of the best moments

The World Cup had a spectacular Toronto finale Thursday night, with two legends squaring off in an all-time thriller that turned into a downtown block party for Portuguese fans. It was a fitting cap to three walks of soccer excitement that showcased the best of the city.

Buses and streetcars kept moving, the temporary stands didn’t collapse and the vibes were great through all six World Cup matches Toronto hosted.

That alone would have been a success story given some of the skepticism surrounding the city’s hosting gig beforehand. But the highs turned out to be at least as elevated as the ticket prices.

Yes, there's lot's of soccer left. But with Toronto’s hosting duties fulfilled, let's look back at the city's best World Cup moments.

While excitement was high heading into the first match in Toronto, there were some concerns.

BMO Field was too small. Ticket prices were unaffordable for most locals . Hotel bookings weren't up, which led to questions about the economic benefits. To make matters worse, the city was scrambling at the last minute to work out logistics.

It was hard not to be a little anxious.

But by the time Alanis Morisette sang O Canada at a sunny Toronto Stadium on June 12, the worries had blown away with the breeze from Lake Ontario. The World Cup had come to Canada for the first time — and the atmosphere was electric.

For hours before the start of the game between Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the city was abuzz. Soccer fans marched through the streets as the eyes of the city and, indeed, the country turned toward the pitch in downtown Toronto.
