A Supporter’s Lament: On Toronto FC’s MLS Cup Win
A bit of a ramble from me about TFC and what is simultaneously one of the happiest and saddest days in my life – because it’s all about me (but mostly it’s all about you). Toronto FC are MLS Cup champions – the most glorious thing ever. The first Canadian team to win the Cup,…
