This deserves its own thread, it's really bugging me.
You know, when England went out in penalties in 1990, they had a parade for them. When France lost in penalties in 2006, they had a parade for them.
The reward for these guys was to play Chicago 60 hours later on a crap field, and then get the gears when they could only manage a draw.
They were the better team in both those games lost in penalties. Way better.
OK we “lost”. But of all people, WE should undersand what happened, and who we are.
TFC are the two time champions, and Concacaf champions, for me. We didn’t lose the games, we lost the coin flips.
I don’t care that the record book doesn’t show that, or that the general public doesn’t get that.
I think they will win tonight, actually, but I don't “care” what they do tonight, or really any night, for a while.
This group have more than rewarded our undying support, and I feel a glorious buzz just being associated with them, sink or swim. I'll let Vanney/Bez have the nervous breakdowns- I am just going to enjoy a great team.
