Best not to forget what comes first. What really matters.
So while Toronto FC has clearly set its sights on winning the CONCACAF Champions League this season, a project that began with a round-of-16 win over the Colorado Rapids and continues next week with the first leg of a quarterfinal collision at home against Mexico’s Tigres, going for a second consecutive MLS title matters more.
The Champions League is largely about vanity, about proving that MLS is growing up and the clubs in the Canada/U.S. league are capable of competing with the rest of the region.
