Toronto FC fans were despondent after a hard-fought season ended with a loss to the Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup Final at BMO Field on Saturday night.
This season, more so than any other in the club鈥檚 10-year history, has awakened a newfound sense of pride among die-hard fans who stuck with the franchise through its lean years.
Saturday鈥檚 game was the first time a Canadian team competed in the league鈥檚 championship final.
Here鈥檚 how fans reacted to the disappointment on Twitter:
What a season, . An incredible run that made us all proud.
