Cochrane maintained that TFC is taking the competition seriously, especially now that they are through to the quarter-finals for the first time in franchise history.
“I don’t think you get to this stage and pack it in. You’re at a point now where you’re a handful of games away from playing in (the final) of a very prestigious competition,” Cochrane stated.
He also feels that a strong performance by Toronto could give the CONCACAF Champions League a major shot in the arm in the eyes of MLS fans who stare upon the competition with a jaundiced eye.
“I think it’s very important for (MLS) teams to be successful at this stage of the tournament, to start to give some credibility to it,” Cochrane said.
“I firmly believe this league is positioned over the next couple of decades to be a big league in the world. In order for us to take it in that direction (MLS teams) need to be playing in these types of events in a regular basis.”


Glad to see that the club is taking the CCL seriously.

Hopefully they can build the depth in the pre-season to handle both the CCL and the league.

(Note, the above picture does not include an image of Michalkoff. In fact, we're pretty sure that's Steve Schirripa, flanked by a person Steve probably thinks is Tom Arnold, Charlie Sheen in his "Iron Chef" costume, a young Justin Bieber, an old Mark-Paul Gosslear wondering how mobile phones got so small, and obviously Mike D'Antoni. Also seated in the front row is author J.D. Salinger, in a photo taken before his death in January of 2010, wearing some sort of felt dinosaur costume in order to preserve his anonymity.)


LOL...

but seriously, MLSE should name the new row 'Row Zero', then buddy an still have 'First Row' tickets (just not front row).

Why not just open the dome. Then it's "cold" for the opposing team to freeze and you have everything set up that an indoor place needs.

BMO should be upgraded though for the colder times though...

what makes everyone think we'll have an advantage, I'm sure the players will bloody hate it for us as well. They aren't playing in these temps day in and day out in a match setting.

Anyway, the Seattle/RSL match was fantastic last night. Can't wait for tonight's MLS Playoffs.

good for Carl Robinson if that's true. He always seemed like a "teacher" type at TFC for the young guys. And he does have his coaching licenses, and he knows MLS well... something Rennie and Ritchie don't. He could provide MLS scouting and player advice too... knowing what it's like to be a player in this league.
