I was unable to sleep last night, and not because I drank a pot of coffee at 8 p.m. in order to power through an essay (okay maybe because of that actually). Still, the anticipation before Toronto FC’s first ever appearance at the Estadio freakin’ Azteca is palpable.
As has been drilled into everyone’s heads, TFC’s 3-1 aggregate lead does not necessarily make them safe in this Concacaf Champions League semifinal against Club América. If they want to advance to the final, they’ll probably need an away goal, especially because it’s very hard to imagine any scenario in which América don’t score.
