Canadian Championship
I attended my first TFC game in almost 10 years last night. Before that I was last at BMO field in the expanded seating for the second leg of the MLS semifinal in 2016 against Montreal that we went onto win in extra time. Incredible experience. Granted yesterday was much lower stakes and way earlier in the season. I thought it was a good game and given our injury list I felt good about it even though we lost.
This morning I started watching some content from after the game. I was shocked to see the Ultras yelling at the teenagers who had to play given our injuries. I saw Zimmerman was also there supporting the kids as they stood there and took it. Where is the Captain. Where is the leadership team? These kids are taking the heat for them?! Unbelievable. And then Henry has to give an interview after the match cause the others were, ‘too emotional’.
Unreal. I hope to see some leadership from within because allowing TFC II teenagers to take the heat rather than you is honestly disgusting.
Edit: Osorio was standing there. But I only saw Zimmerman standing next to the teens. He still didn’t do the interview.
