    What a dilemma for Toronto--no one likes to lose, but if they should advance they run into the brick wall that is Club America. This is def the tougher of the 2 brackets.

    Early on this match is being played close to the vest it kind of reminds me of the TFC v Seattle series.

    TFC has to sub out Morrow already. Not good.

    Both of these teams seem more skilled than the two in the earlier match-up.

    Unlike Xolos, Tigres can score. It's dangerous to allow them so close to your goal for so long.

    The Tigres - Tijuana comparison would be like TFC - Minnesota. Night and day.

    A game where Bradley's penchant for taking forever on free kicks is a virtue...

    Yeah, I think they are going to slowly wear down TFC. Zavaleta is a mistake waiting to happen. Not sure TFC will be able to generate much on attack.

    Edit: sure enough, there goes Zavaleta.

    If he sprints to take a corner we should probably consider not letting him back in the country! :D

    Genuinely confused as to how that wasn't a goal.

    Zavaleta tronquísimo in that play vs. Gignac.

    I don't know how many TFC matches I have watched where he looks out of his depth.

    Mavinga is good. He could be in the Ligue 1.

    Toronto is just defending. They need to pose a genuine threat or they will be pushed all night long and eventually break.
