Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Will We See Angry Determined TFC, Or Frustrated, Out Of Ideas TFC?
Tic Tac….ah we know who they are. One of our biggest rivals (sorry Columbus), the city that we invade en masse for away games, the only other Canadian team that’s allowed to win the Voyageurs Cup and the runaway winner of our highly scientific ‘what is our true derby’ poll. And right now they are…
