Look, I don't know.
You might think that after 7 years of this that I might have a theory on what makes TFC tick.
I probably should.
But, I don't. It's just, you know, sports. Or, more to the point, it's just TFC.
Seriously. There is nothing more to it. As it relates to yesterday, it's frustrating in the fact that there is no blueprint to repeat it, but amazing in the fact that THAT'S A THING THAT JUST HAPPENED.
Sometimes you just don't ask questions.

That doesn't mean you have to be blind.
There is no way to argue that TFC deserved to win. Well other than that they scored more goals which is, let's face it, kind of an important stat.
But...man.
The dramatics made 89 minutes of suck go away. And that's fine on a one off, but, well. Anyway.
So, Jermain Defoe, eh!? He's pretty good and that pretty good gives this team a chance. Always. Even when Michael Bradley isn't there.
This team is infuriating. But, it's also 5-1-4 and and, on a points per game basis, in the top half of the league.
Don't ask questions.
What many don't understand is that MLS is a league where a single player can make a difference. The narrative desperately tries to claim that isn't the case, but the best team over 34 games is almost always the team with the guy who scores a lot.
Go back and look.
TFC doesn't have to look good it just needs to win games. That's good because they sure as hell don't look good.
Won yesterday though.
Don't ask questions.
