Ironically, Wiedeman's first goal of the 2012 season was the winner in TFC's 2-1 win over Colorado on July 18, 2012 — the last time the Reds were victorious on their home turf, a span of 17 matches at BMO Field.

"It was very important for us to come back like that," midfielder Jeremy Hall said. "It was a game we should've gotten three points out of….We're at home in front of our fans and we wanted a good showing."

"Football is the same in Canada, Japan, Europe. What happens on the pitch is the same in all countries," Floro said. "For me [football is being] able to play anywhere, in any condition."

"Generally a team has to really work hard to score goals against us… Three goals, I'm extremely disappointed about. We haven't conceded three all season and that hurts me horrendously. But that's the best team in the East."

"It was just the bounce of the ball just didn't quite roll into the back of the net," said striker Jeremy Brockie. "It was one of those days when we had by far the more chances and we probably should've won there."

Toronto FC's late-game breakdowns have reached a new level of deja vu — not only are the late concessions continuing, it's even the same opponents who are scoring.

"We knew the level of the job we had ahead of us.. The quality sides in this league are constructed over a period of time. We're still at the early stages," said TFC assistant head coach Fran O'Leary.

"It's not a jinx, not a hoax or anything like that. We need personalities to go and clear the ball or win the ball," Nelsen said. "Strong personalities in the back. Every successful team in the world has had one or two defenders that the ball seems to go like a magnet to their head since they want to win it so much."

"It was a matter of Toronto being after me for such a long time and really showing so much interest," Laba said. "From a player's perspective when you see that another team really wants to put you in the team and do everything possible, that's what motivates me to come here."

The Impact is going to need its own version of the "Miracle In Montreal" if it's going to finally defeat Toronto FC in an Amway Canadian Championship series.
