It, mercifully, is done.
For four months and a bit we do not have to torture ourselves with TFC. For some, they may never do so again (although, respectfully, if you’re still reading now you’re not likely going anywhere).
It’s hard to imagine a worst season. Ever. Anywhere. Surely it can’t get worse moving forward.
Clearly, there is a lot of work to be done in the off-season. It’s also clear that few are ready to talk about those details. Most who still have the energy to talk about TFC are going to want to beat the dead horse for a while yet.

To that end, here at CSN, we will review the season for each of the next five days in our annual end of season dissection. The format will be the same as it was last year. In part I we will look at What Went Right (because there were a few things that were positive and it’s disingenuous to only wallow in the…). Part II will look at What Went Wrong, Part III is What Went Really Wrong (a look at the single biggest factor for TFC’s failure in 2012) and Part IV is the player’s Report Card. We will wrap up in Part V with a look ahead in What’s Next?
The first part will be up tomorrow, with an additional part running each day of the week. We will also preview the rest of the MLS playoffs.
As for today…what more is there to say. There was a period of good play (the last 20 to 30 minutes of the first half), but largely it was a forgettable game spent chasing an opponent that was just better.
Toronto wasn’t good enough when fully healthy. With the amount of players unavailable the last few weeks they are barely watchable.
And now we don’t have to for a long time.
