    Oh I think LAFC will put in a big shift but Tigres has been hunting this one for years and their whole season is mentally riding on this game. The last team MLS Tigres didn't take seriously was us. Since then, they have thumped every non Liga Mx team.

    Strange things happen in a one off game, especially in a neutral environment. Just think Tigres is going to want it more - almost like us in the 2017 final.

    My dislike of the cheating, the diving, the time waisting and all the crap that goes on with these Central American teams be it at the club level and the national team level is why I’m rooting for LAFC to finally lift this damn cup for the MLS , plus Bob Bradley has always been a coach I’ve always wished would one day coach TFC probably one of the best American coaches around .

    Tigres are a big choke artists when it comes to CCL finals.

    And manager Tuco Feretti never really prioritized CCL

    Diego Rossi with slick finish from a nice pass from Mark Anthony Kaye.

    I think Tigres are going increase the pressure for the next 30 minutes.

    That lead didn't last too long.

    Tied 1-1 in the 71st minute.

    Now Tigres are doing the kill the clock, I’m injured. This and exactly this, is what kills the game.

    Wasn’t the prettiest game but doesn’t matter, you just need to get there.

    what I'd pay for a clinical striker like Gignac for TFC
    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    -Eduardo Galeano

    yeah it wasn’t the greatest game but MLS is going to win this tourney soon. The divide between the leagues is getting smaller every year.

    Maybe TFC can do a straight swap for Altidore.

    Rumour has it Tigres showed interest in Altidore in 2018.

    The MLS high water mark in CCL remains the moment Giovinco sent that pass in from the left towards Delgado.

    I wasn’t totally paying attention but reading this, it would have really pissed me off to see LAFC “winning” this ersatz tournament in a single game knockout format at a neutral site.

    We won the final game in 2018 away at Chivas in a lion's den, in front of 50,000 screaming, increasingly horrified fans. We played the second leg in fabled stadiums in Mexico three different times, and played great every time.

    That is what “winning” this thing looks like ...

    Thank you Tigres.

    I wasn’t that wound up about this but when you put it that way.... I’m sort of relieved LA didn’t win.

    To be fair, my general thought is teams aren’t reaching the quality of play they did pre covid. It wasn’t as high quality a game as some finals I’d seen in the past. And that’s no fault of the participants but at the same time better to have a clean record of history.

    Everything this year was bound to have an asterisk beside it, but it was a little sickening to watch the desperate attempt by MLS pundits to crown Seattle a dynasty and LAFC as the first MLS team to ‘really’ win the CCL.

    Hopefully they are still interested in 2020. If they want more I would throw in Mullins.

    I just heard that today is Festivus. I would like to take a moment to wish a Happy Festivus to those of you who celebrate this iconic holiday. If you don"t know what I am referring to it probably means you were born after 1980.

    I couldn't agree more.

    Festivus is the perfect holiday for this forum! Let's all air our grievances!
