Say what you want about the Trillium Cup, but the rivalry between Columbus Crew SC and Toronto FC has become a thing.
It has nothing to do with Major League Soccer deciding there should be trophy given out between the winner of the series between these teams due to the state/province’s flower, but rather the results on the field.
Led by their respective Greg(g)s, each team has turned around their fortunes in recent years, which has altered the once forced “rivalry” into something competitive.
“I think you look at the success of both teams over the past four years,” Crew SC captain Wil Trapp told reporters on the building an actual rivalry.
