forfeit the tournament next year so not worth the injuries to hurt the league
We know penalties are a cruel and awful way to end a tournament. It was a great run by TFC.
. edit: nvm
Why does Delgado keep missing those, when he's inside the box... -_- no finishing touch... would have liked to see aketxe and Hamilton right after gio on the PKs
What the hell with all these bloody injuries I’ve never seen a team with so many injuries just incredible! Like every fucking game it seems Jozy is getting injured, every game one of our main players is out, like what’s going on here what gives?

Wow, Bradley went full Beckham on that last one. So close... Oh, Marky...
You really see what it means for Chivas to win, true team spirit and determination.
Congrats to them, and I hope they get their management to pay them.
That is because We have a coach that doesn't prepare for them. Actually working on those and practising taking and stop them would have done wonders.. in fact I suspect if they had spend a little time doing it Delgado would have kept the ball down.. at least once tonight. That is two trophies lost due to penalties both times it should have been practiced and prepared for.
Heartbreaking...
Its hard to know what to say. We played well enough tonight, and had our chances (Delgado ), but ultimately we just weren't good enough. In reality we lost this at BMO
Its been a ride, but to come home empty handed, its been a costly adventure
Really??? Sheesh.
Forfeit the tournament?
Great effort from the lads. We were one Delgado miss from winning this thing.
Love this team. Toronto till I die.
Are there not five big dick'd motherfuckers on this team capable of taking a penalty shot? Charlie fuckin brown face
i love Toronto but this tournament isnt worth it for our players
CONSPIRACY THEORY ALERT
Bradley missed that penalty on purpose. That was the first thought that entered my head. I don't know why. He just skied it. He knew that it was pretty much certain that even if he scored, the Chivas player would score his and we'd be out with all the blame on an Osorio crossbar miss. He knows Osorio is a young guy from the city, would be gutted, has got a lot of years left to play hopefully for this team, and didn't want this loss falling on his shoulders. The way Bradley took that... I just can't help but think he missed that on purpose.
Sucky way to not win the trophy, again. Incredible what we did with what we were given. Won in Mexico, beat America, Tigres.
Take it, heal up, use it as fuel!
Horrible way to not win the Cup. They beat Chivas in Mexico.They took us on an incredible run and I won't the cold, wet nights under the BMO Field lights. This team are CCL heroes. Salute them! TTID!
Knew it was over after the Delgado miss. It just sucks to lose on penalties, worst way to decide a champion. Even worse without extra time
Some pretty embarrassing comments in here. Two botched kicks away from being concacaf champions. Went through the 3 biggest teams in Mexico. Ya we are injured, ya we sacrificed the start of MLS, but it was all to get to this moment. I think we've been way too spoiled as a fan base if we can't find pride in reaching the concacaf finals ...hurts to lose, but stand behind your team for ef sakes.
Chivas took over the game once Hamilton came on for Hasler, gave them more space. Should have went harder for 3rd goal you knew PKs would be a clown show.
Make no mistake, we would have won this with more honest / less corrupt refereeing. We should have had penalties and free kicks that were not awarded, and at least one of their players should have been sent off.
Of course, that's the nature of the game and that's what it will be like to go and play against these big Mexican sides, but fuck me.
The penalties were awful but it's done. Let's hope this time we've learnt that we need to practice those!
Very proud of TFC tonight. We are basically the best team in North America and that's massive.
Really proud of Osorio. Golden Boot! Well done.
I knew Osorio would miss when he tried the delayed step thing ..
Simply cruel. Proud of this team for the run but our finishing cost us the trophy. We could have blown out this tournament if we finished half of our chances. Bono abysmal on pks. Let's hope it's not too late to get back to speed in the league.
Also why the fuck did we take Hasler off? He was hounding them and had a size advantage on pretty much all of them. When has Hamilton ever done anything good for this team?
CCL is a horrible tournament we only have 3 points from our league play after 5 games, which is only 20% of possible points
Absolutely well worth it. So proud of this team, we'll try again next year.
I know this hurts to get so close and lose in an awful way (penalties are still the worst way to decide a tournament IMO). We got to the final and nearly won with no back line, tonnes of injuries, and we beat two great Mexican teams to get there. We have a long season, so lets hold our heads up high and cheer the team at Saturday’s game.
