The night is darkest before the dawn. Nobody knows that better than a modern Toronto FC supporter.
After last night’s soul-crushing loss to Chivas on penalties in the CONCACAF Champions League final, our spirits are low. If you’re a Leafs fan as well, like I am, they’re even lower. But this isn’t the first time we’ve felt like this, is it? We’ve all felt this before — unbridled joy in the early rounds of a tournament, followed by naive hope, followed by sheer hatred for the penalty shootout.
After suffering through a three-hour exam this morning, I feel compelled to shine a light on TFC’s incredible CCL run.
