Everything will be forgiven with a win on Wednesday night. Well, maybe not everything, but certainly most things. Forget this lost MLS season, forget the heart breaking CCL loss to Chivas, forget the lack of player infusion, forget the stupid red cards — Wednesday’s Canadian Championship final against Vancouver is now the only game that matters this year.
The immediate reason is obvious — a trip to the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League, and a chance at redemption. But this game is about more than just that. It is the only remaining chance for the Champions to feel like champions once more.
