This is it, guys. This is the night Toronto FC have been waiting for since they won MLS Cup — in fact, since they won the Canadian Championship. Tonight, TFC have a chance (a slim one, perhaps, but a chance nonetheless) to make history by winning the CONCACAF Champions League. Down 2-1 on aggregate, heading into the Estadio Akron to play C.D. Guadalajara — Chivas, if you prefer — the Reds find themselves once again the underdogs, a place they’ve sat happily all tournament long.
In this run, Toronto FC have relished adversity. They’ve battled injuries, they’ve survived the Azteca, and they held down the fort against some of the best Mexico has been able to throw at them.
