Teitur Thordarsson, manager of the Whitecaps, looked on with a stoic impression comparable to any military general on the losing end of a war. Djekanovic waved in vain to ask for something to be done from Montreal.
But every ounce of will from the embattled, bruised, empty-eyed shell of the team from Quebec was gone. Long gone. As well as that of the team from BC.
And Guevara read the last rites for both teams in the 90th minute to make it 6-1. By that point, the Toronto supporters—shirtless, shameless, and hopelessly on the verge of greatness—were dancing on the coffins and the seats of Stade Saputo.
Toronto FC became champions of Canada, and their redemption made every Torontonian beam with pride.
The possibility of an unprecedented double of Voyageurs and MLS Cup cannot be left out of the discussion. Currently, Toronto are on the fringe of making the playoffs, sitting in the 8th spot (as of today).
Can more history be made for a team that has secured its first piece of hardware?
After what will go down as the great game in club history to date, things can only be looking up.
As for Vancouver, the Whitecaps remain as the only active team that has yet to win the Voyageurs Cup. But with the Montreal Impact's monopoly on the trophy broken, perhaps the wait for the Whitecaps could be over soon as well.
And if that should happen, chalk up another club I will be happy for as I get ready to write on the Los Angeles Sol on Sunday once again.
