Big Congratilations from Russia, From Juve and Lokomotiv Moskow fan. Watching TFC since Seba joined club, and iam in love in TFC from the first game i watched. I never knew about TFC before, i heard you guys had hard times being worst MLS team, being a joke as some said, but you guys kept hope, love and believe in your hearts and souls and now, there is no jokes that TFC is the best ever team that played in MLS. Incredible Treble. History. Really happy for the club, for the city and for us - fans! GO REDS GO!!!
I still remember back when Toronto FC was considered a joke of a team and consistently ended up last in the East Conference. And now they lift the MLS Cup. What a journey.
As a canadian football/soccer fan im 13 i was really little watching this but i will never forget the experience watching giovinco and bradley in there primes play for us. This was my favorite season and match of all time. unfortunately the glory of our team is coming to an end but i still really love it and will always watch TFC in their ups and downs.
Why TFC is the best mls team is beacuse they won the Canadian championship the trillant cup supporters shield eastern conference championships and the MLS CUP all in one season also broke the record with most points in a season
1 year ago I was top comment after we lost 1-0 to Montreal. I had said how we should sack Vanney and "get a real coach". I was wrong. He proved me wrong, this team, this incredible team goes down in history with the best coach to ever handle a team. Thank you, Greg Vanney. Thank you, Toronto. CHAMPIONS OF MLS!
It was probably your emotions reacting to the loss, but even with that loss last year, I have found that Vanney is a coach that can quickly learn from his mistakes. He certainly made the right choices tonight and out-coached Schmetzer.
Mikko Kivisto judging on how seattle played, was schmetzer a "bad" coach during the game? cuz that is something i was starting to believe during the match as a sounders fan
Schmetzer gambled by placing Jones in left back, changing Seattle's very solid defense that worked well over the last month or so. Also, he didn't adapt quickly enough after the half to adjust to Toronto's attacking and counter-attacking pressure. Still, Seattle played a difficult game, and major props to Frei for keeping the team in the hunt.
Born and raised in Toronto, a TFC fan since day one... All those years I spent wearing our colors proudly, even in the darkest times and early days of our club... All of the jokes at my expense... It makes this moment even sweeter - WOOOO LETS GO BOYS! CHAMPIONS!! ☝☝
Congrats to TFC! First domestic Treble! First Canadian MLS Cup Winner! Most wins, most points ever! Played beautiful football and dominated from start to finish. Good luck in Champions League! I'm pulling for you guys!!! Amazing season! Used to live up in Buffalo NY so I've been to your city many times and it's beautiful.
It's been 5 days now that I keep watching these highlights. I just can't stop watching them. I was born and raised in Italy, but because my mom was from TO I started following TFC since day one. I still remember watching games at 2/3 am on terrible fields with football lines. But I always believed this championship had potential, and this club just as well. Finally in 2012 when I moved to Toronto I could've start following TFC at BMO. Call me crazy but I always believed this club was always really trying to be great. They brought us De Rosario, Frings, Julio Cesar, Defoe, Bradley, but when they did the impossible with Giovinco, that's when I knew we were gonna start a new chapter. I'm not surprised we won, I'm surprised of how much we dominated the whole season. This is a letter of love to this club. Go Toronto Football Club!
Toronto!!!!!!!! This needs to be the best ever mls season ever. From the defeat of last year, i thought we had our only opportunity to win, but starting from this year, we played better and got everybody thinking that we could win it this time. Toronto FC. 10 years, but now we r champs. TO! TFC! TFC!TFC!TFC! TFC!
Not only did they win, they did it in such a dominant fashion. Seattle never had a chance from the the first whistle. Every player on the field played like a man possessed! When we lost last year I told my son it was for a reason... so that the triumph this season would be all that much sweeter. The whole season felt like fate. Winning the Canadian Championship, dominating the league with a record breaking season, winning the Shield, battling through a dicey two rounds of the playoffs, and capping it all off with a revenge win of the Cup in resounding fashion. Being a season seat holder from the beginning makes this win all the more special. From worst in the world to best team in MLS history is an incredible thing to witness. I already can't wait to see TFC continue these accomplishments next year in Concacaf and the 2018 season. Repeat champs!!! Go Reds!
Supported this team when the likes of Danny Dichio were the key players and Chad Barrett missed empty netters on a weekly basis. For us, this is the coronation of the success that exorcizes the demons of so many painful seasons. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! SAY IT OUT LOUD! Feels unreal. Salty USMNT fans booing Bradley & Altidore, stalking Jozy's social media feed, I take great satisfaction knowing that these will be long and painful holidays for your lot! To the TFC nation, Torontonians and all Canadian soccer fanatics: CONGRATS TO US! DRINK IN THE MOMENT, CLINK A GLASS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! CONCACAF Champions League here we come!
ZekuEtyopia I'm so happy for fans like you that have supported TFC for a long time or since the team's inception. Watching the game yesterday Toronto DOMINATED and deserved the win. I was just hoping it wouldn't go into a shootout like last year. First it was the Wolfpack. Then it was the Argos. Now it's TFC. Let's keep making Toronto The City Of Champions!
Watching this team's turnaround has been amazing. For the better part of 10 years, TFC were absolute basement dwellers. The job of head coach was a veritable revolving door. They made countless changes in the front office. The roster changes were innumerable. Then one year, they finally clicked, and made it to the playoffs. They crashed out in the knockout round, but they finally had something to build on. The very next year, they were MLS Cup runners up. Now they're MLS Cup champions. Well done, Toronto Football Club!
Finally a Toronto team won a North American Championship, last time this happened was in 1993 with the Blue Jays and I wasn't even born yet. Not only are TFC champions, they won a treble! Best team in MLS history!!!
This is one of the most electrifying MLS finals in history, Stefan Frei was unstopable at goal. And the whole TFC team had worked at their hardest to the championship. TFC and Canada deserves the championship, I don't care what anyone says, any American league shouln't make fun of the Canadian teams as we are equal. Congrats TFC!
Slump God : They were playing for the penalty shoot-out like last year, so that they would have screwed Toronto out of the title again. NO CHANCE IN HELL, SEATTLE BASTARDS. TORONTO WAS READY THIS TIME, AND YOU BLEW IT. TOUGH LUCK.
TFC MLS Champs! Respect to all the hardcore TFC supporters. You deserve to enjoy this as much as anyone. I support all Toronto teams but basketball and hockey are my two main sports.
mikejunior211: Thank you for the kind compliments. Finally, a Sounders fan, who has shown great respect and plenty of CLASS towards Toronto and all of us soccer fans, across CANADA.
Quentin 33 : 2017. A truly memorable and glorious year for professional sports, in the city of Toronto. Hopefully, the BLUE JAYS, RAPTORS and even the MAPLE LEAFS, might pull out a few unexpected SURPRISES in 2018.
MLS will be one of the biggest and most profitable leagues one day, you mark my words. This game and many others ive watched rival skill levels of Europe, MX Liga and South America.
LETS GO BOYZ THIS WAS OUR YEAR OUR GAME 355 DAYS AFTER WE LOST WE HAVE GOT WHAT WE HAVE DESERVED FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS! THEY GOT LUCKY LAST YEAR, AND FINALLY, WE HAVE DEFEATED THE NOOB SEATLE SOUNDERS LETS GOOOOOOOO WE WINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! #GOTFC
Dear TFC fans, your energy lights up BMO Place and your chants are.magnificent. Flag waving, especially when it is below 7 degrees Celsius. Soccer changes lives. When humans are happy, they love themselves as well as others and therefore less conflict. Those men who beat up their wives should try it. They may learn something other than drinking beer. Beer is good when taken responsibly. I like beer myself. ----My people, when we, humans interact with joy for a beautiful game like this, we tend to forget our own little problems. Our Canadian Soccer has evolved. You can ask our former Goal Keeper, Craig Forrest. We have kids playing everywhere from ages as young as 3. Yes, as long as you can kick, you got a chance bro or sis! Football family is fair and so is life. If you fail to work hard, you will dry up like unwatered tree in Kalhari desert. Respect yourself, your family, your friends your environment and above all RESPECT SOCCER !
I know this comment will get lost in the shuffle but for long suffering Toronto Sports fans this loss means a lot. Now we can just watch games that are regular season and relax a lot more now that the championship monkey is off our backs as for the game It was weird to get that many shots which is a testament to Frei standing on his head and just how dominate TFC was but at the same time with that domination there were so many guys stepping up but the Mavinga tackle at 0-0 just before the Altidore goal was a game saver... The Champions League will be a lot of fun to watch!! but for now TFC fans celebrate and enjoy, and Toronto fans!! our guys did it MLS CUP champions baby!!!!!
Matteo Stevenson I was a bit worried in the beginning: Seattle already won here, no pressure at all, and the thought of losing to Sounders back to back will only serve as another negative psychological effect to TFC fans or Toronto fans for that matter. Fortunately, this year is different. Full credit to the team. 'Monkey off the back' is well said. Long sufferring TFC fans... Enjoy this moment!!
Matteo Stevenson Spent so many years wearing our colors proudly and being on the receiving end of the jokes from everyone. I always said I wouldn't give up on TFC because our victory will be sweeter... You felt my pain too. It meant so much to us and the boys delivered... Unbelievable - WOOOO!
Yes many years of being laughing stocks and getting scored on in the 80th min no more what a time to be alive i'm so proud of this team!! because we stuck with them through thick and thin and it was not easy Johnson Preki Winter lol...
Congrats from a San Jose Earthquakes fan here in the bay area. I tipped toronto to win the whole thing this past season. Now for the challenge of defending said title.
From a Sounders fan, congratulations TFC. 2016 was our year, but 2017 was definitely your year, and well deserved. I'm glad you finally won your MLS Cup....just wish it hadn't been against us lol.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIENDS. AND WE'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING 'TILL THE END! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! NO TIME FOR LOSERS 'CAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS... OF THE WORLD!!
Wow.. respect from Mexico.. there's a lot of passion in there.. is not like in SouthAmerica finals... like Copa Libertadores.. Brazilian league, Argentinian league and including Mexican league in the north .. but there's passion in MLS USA-Canada too..
Respect, hard work and humility are the foundation of a great team. TFC. You make yourselves proud but above all, you make your city, your fans and the whole of Canada proud! Thank you for a job well done.
Argos are pros...i'm not a huge CFL fan but come on those guys are great athletes. They didn't get football scholarships for having 2 left feet. But whatever.
YouFlatBro ? have u supported a team with ur heart watched every game and been garbage, absolute shit, then this day will be one of the best days in ur life , cuz for loyal fans who watched since they were last place, absolutely garbage, it feels amazing. I'm saying that the loyal ones deserve this, idk if u can understand
I've been following the Sounders since 1974. I watched us lose to the Cosmos in Soccer Bowl 77. I have also been a life long Seahawks fan sine their start in the NFL. I know exactly what it's like to watch a team that took decades to win. I am happy you guys won a championship but you have only been in the league for 12 years. Don't act as if you have suffered. LOL! My sounders sucked tonight but it's just a game. As I said no one deserves it. You earn it. You didn't play on the field. You just watched. I'm happy for you but keep things in perspective. It's just a game.
Hey FAITHandLOGIC, Proof you havent paid attention to this team until this win. Use google and search the variety of articles and neutral soccer voices take on TFC pre Giovinco, Altidore, Bradley and Vasquez era. Losers was a nice way of putting it. From 2007-2014 we were a burning trash can dressed in red.
Congratulations Toronto FC !!! Well-deserved victory !!! So much talent on this team - this definitely has to be the best team assembled in MLS history , starting with Captain Bradley , Giovinco , Altidore , Vasquez , Cooper , Osorio , Bono , Ricketts . Moor , Beitashour , and all the rest - what a team !!! ALTIDOOOOORREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Game winner again - first over Columbus and now Seattle !!! Excellent pass by Giovinco to Altidore who had amazing speed to get in for the mean machine BIG GOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give credit to Stefan Frei who made unbelievable saves in the first half to keep Seattle in the game. TORONTO FC - 2017 CHAMPIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
