On Friday afternoon, Canada kicked off its first match<\/a> of the World Cup against Bosnia-Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium. The contest ended in a 1-1 draw, with Canada\u2019s tying goal coming courtesy of striker Cyle Larin for an exciting start to the global sports tournament.<\/p>\n

Amongst a sea of fans decked out in red and white (and some in blue), a number of supporters commanded attention with retro jerseys, DIY accessories and creative ensembles. Here are the best fan outfits spotted outside the stadium.<\/p>\n
