very good read Ben.
here's a little story of my own,

there were about 25 people in Shoeless joe's all standing up around the 88th minute.
Joe brings over an entire tray filed with shots. He's just trying to be nice, so I don't
bother to scold him, but politely lay a newspaper over the entire thing and explain
that celebration shots before the end of a the match are bad luck. Then we hit that
6th goal, with only minutes left.... and the paper comes off and shots go around.
Superstition.... only of those who believe in it. For us, that was the finest, cheap
tequila we had ever tasted. Then the shirts came off....

there will be many great moments in TFC history, but none will be like last night when we witnessed one of the defining moments as a TFC supporter

Good chirp, Parkdale. Way to respect karma. Bet Vancouver's champagne tastes like piss now.

Did Vancouver complain when Toronto didn`t start their best keeper in game 2.Hell he must have been our third keeper after being released the next week.All teams rest players and don`t start their starters all the time.Even Manchester United.Yes Montreal has a better team then what they showed that nite,but Toronto FC is going on to the championship.Bring on Puerto Rico,it should be a good match.I am sure Vancouver will one day raise the cup,but I don`t think anytime soon
