Toronto FC is gearing up for what might be the stiffest competition they have faced in the last year and that’s no slight on the MLS. The Liga MX sides are just a different beast and continue to run the CONCACAF Champions League. TFC is getting set to take on Tigres, the Liga MX winners last year and current 10th place team in the Liga MX standings. To say TFC are the heavy underdogs is an understatement.
With the first leg taking place at BMO Field, where it might be around -1 to -2 degrees Celsius, it could be an opportunity for TFC to take advantage of that.
