[Pinto]

YES!!!! What a game!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Osorio! Wicked flick!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Win! Great show from TFC!

 

[TMLeafer]

What a game. wow

 

[Clark4Ever]

Amazing game. We outplayed arguably the best team in CONCACAF and gave ourselves a chance in the second leg.

 

[Amadeus]

The Tigres aren't taught the concept of off-side I think.

 

[Joufreau]

What a game! The first few minutes had me worried we were about to have our backsides handed to us but then TFC just turned it on....defended well, moved the ball quickly and efficiently.

Tigres pressed on defense, got on us very quickly. Was impressed with our ball movement.

Second leg in Mehico won't be so easy...

Next leg will be tough hopefully we can either grab a goal early or disrupt the Tigres offense long enough to force them to take risks, and try and grab a goal through the counter.

Overall though loving what I'm seeing, so excited for all competitions as we move forward this year.

I was shocked, looked like a lot of empty seats. If they can make it past Tigres I'll be looking to go to the next round in T.O for sure.

Late arriving crowd. It was actually an excellent turnout for a mid week game in poor weather. There were about 25,000 people.

So proud of the boys. They never stopped playing.

Will be very interesting to see what the atmosphere is like next week in Mexico.

For anyone that follows this a little more closely than I do, is this CONCACAF Champion's League a big deal to the Mexican teams in terms of their seasons?

Yes and no. Liga MX has dominated the CCL since it's inception, so supporters of their respective clubs are accustomed to winning the tournament. Most of the time, it's two Mexican sides that end up in the Final.

MLS sides have started making noise in recent years, with Salt Lake City and Montreal being the only clubs to make it to the Final and ultimately lose.

I think it will be a bigger deal in Mexico if someone finally knocks them off their perch a few times.

 

[Mathew]

2nd leg today in mexico big game, Can any of the national team players who where called up still play today?

 

[ACC1224]

I'm guessing with the time difference this is a late start here?

 

[Mathew]

10pm the game starts here

 

[robertmac43]

Going to be a tough game tonight! Looking forward to seeing how the boys in Red do!

 

[Clark4Ever]

Mexico has been death valley for MLS clubs in the past. Here's hoping we can emulate what the NY Red Bulls did last week and pull off a shocker.

such a late start

 

[Mathew]

Same roster as first leg no Vasquez starting

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This really isn't looking good. Tigres have completely taken over this game.

 

[Cloned]

Bono needs to play it short on those goal kicks instead of giving it away every time.

 

[Pinto]

Oh boy, gotta hold on another 30 minutes without Morrow and Mavinga on the back end..

 

[Pinto]

YEA!!!!

 

[Advanced stats]

Huge goal!!!!
