In case you haven't heard yet: Toronto FC, MLS Champions. Yes! They did it. The redemption. The revenge. This year they out shot Seattle by a lot more than last year. And this year Seattle couldn't ride their luck and hold out. Altidore, with a wonderful counter attacking goal mid way through the second half and Vazquez with a last minute insurance goal that rebounded of him into the net, gave TFC a thoroughly deserved 2-0 win. Nobody can deny that TFC were the only team worthy of winning tonight.
After 8 near consistently terrible seasons that had moments of comical dire-ness, one season of transformation into a team that was a penalty shoot out away from completing a rise to the top, here they are: best team ever in a regular season and MLS Champions. I was not one of them but to all those supporters who endured those absolutely terrible years of failed promises, the last being the Defoe debacle: this is your best night ever, enjoy, celebrate, be merry. TFC are the Champs.
I haven't even enjoyed the replays or watched any post-match celebrations yet. There will probably be a lot more to say tomorrow, when it's all sunk in a little bit more. But, boy, does it feel good to back a winner.
