CONCACAF’s decision to scrap extra time robs fans of what could have been an epic Chivas-TFC finale 25 Apr 2018 But, what makes this final hard to take, well, it’s because CONCACAF just had to go and go all 1970s NASL with the format. It’s ridiculous that a continental club championship doesn’t provide for extra time to be played if the two teams are level after two legs. To go straight to penalty kicks… ugh. Give the players 30 more minutes to try and decide a championship in an 11-v-11 environment.
TFC doesn’t get their Goats: Chivas shocks BMO Field with inspired road effort 17 Apr 2018 Pizarro was simply wonderful on the night; the best player on the pitch. He looked to be playing in a variety of positions, tirelessly running to help out the back line when needed, going out onto the wing when needed, and supporting the attack when needed.
Another deep Canadian run helps the case for a second team in the CCL: And it stands to benefit the CanPL 11 Apr 2018 And the glaring, obvious truth is that Canada, despite only having one team in CCL, year after year performs better than the United States, which has four slots in the tournament.
TFC now two-thirds of the way through its Mexican odyssey 10 Apr 2018 Two Canadians involved in maybe one of the biggest goals ever scored by a Canadian club, in one of the world’s true soccer cathedrals. Pinch me.
Toronto FC deserves plaudits, while Club America’s baffling tactical approach needs to be questioned 3 Apr 2018 They’re at BMO field, in the lousy, blustery rainy weather. Before the game, at some point, you'd think manager Miguel Herrera and his staff would have looked at some video of Toronto FC in action, and thought to themselves, “wow, Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco can really burn you on the counter.”
TFC gets a great effort, timely goals and rides luck in win over Tigres 13 Mar 2018 After nearly a decade of suffering, I have come to the conclusion that there’s a TFC fan who watched Tuesday’s game knowing full well that (s)he has made a deal with the devil.
Osorio’s sublime goal + Mavinga’s desperation challenge = TFC win over Tigres 7 Mar 2018 Osorio with the wonderful through-the-legs back-heeled effort off a pass from Sebastian Giovinco, then Mavinga with the game-saving lunge. On a pockmarked winter-scored pitch in Toronto, Wednesday night was a time for heroes.
Colorado huffs and puffs, but brutal attack never troubles TFC 27 Feb 2018 The Rapids played probably as well as they could at BMO Field, Toronto FC was as indifferent as it could be. Still, the Reds had little difficulty protecting the 2-0 advantage it held from the first leg.
Reds off to hot start in CONCACAF Champions League despite frosty conditions 20 Feb 2018 Toronto FC was, by a wide margin, the livelier team, and got two well-deserved road goals. A 2-0 result in the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 first leg gives the Reds a commanding advantage heading home for next week’s second match.
