| 1641088740520263680 | “Never meet your heroes” doesn’t apply to @craigforrest1. Craig stopped and had meaningful conversations with many fans last night’s #CANMNT match. Takes a while to get out of BMO with him, but damn.. this is what this sport needs. @footy_prime #ambassador #legend https://t.co/T9Psnfa19Q | 4 |
| 1640925204556685312 | That was one of my favourite games ever! I'm on such a high right now. I watched a #CanMNT 🇨🇦 group clinching match with Canadian soccer royalty. Thank you so much @amy13walsh @craigforrest1 and @DanWongsez. #FootyPrimer4Life #ForCanada https://t.co/ZlNjaY5Eht | 4 |

| 1641196845195223041 | @footy_prime I have a #WongersMailSack question for @JimmyBrennan11 and @craigforrest1. How do you feel seeing crowds like the Can v Hon game as a former player? (Proud? Jealous? Angry?) | 3 |

| 1640505623598047233 | @craigforrest1 @footy_prime Supporters section was $35 plus $7 in fees. The whole stadium should be that price point! Between onesoccer, cable (tsn/sportsnet), dazn, FuboTV and AppleTV subscriptions…plus crazy high in person prices…I don’t see any casuals (much less grassroots/kids) buying into ⚽️ in 🇨🇦 | 84 |

| 1640497821207121921 | @craigforrest1 @footy_prime This is ludicrous. Tickets should be offered to kids clubs at a low cost (development), and family pack deals. It’ll be interesting to see how vacant the stands are. This is a massive time for soccer in Canada. Do better. Shameful. @CanadaSoccerEN @HedyFry | 52 |
| 1640512039532601345 | @craigforrest1 @footy_prime $435 for me, the wife and our 9 year old daughter to go. Never going to happen. As much as we all want to go, it's more important to eat and get gas to go to work!!!!! | 46 |

| 1640944036407046145 | How’s this for a story about accessibility @craigforrest1 I was in a bar 10mins away from the actual stadium the game was being played in, and had to internet stream FROM HONDURAS to watch the game because it wasn’t available in any Canadian platform whatsoever. | 20 |
| 1640529188397408257 | @craigforrest1 @footy_prime Help me understand Why not cheap tickets, run it at a loss, but get butts in seats & sell new merch? They had a WC & a home WC to come, to plan for this Get Drake &Bieber to make some merch for the MNT/XNT or even Macron! CPL kits are🔥 Grow toward ‘26, no? So short-sighted! | 20 |
