Jozy Altidore, Toronto FC sound CCL warning: 'There is more to come'
The message from Toronto FC striker Jozy Altidore to probable CONCACAF Champions League semifinal opponent Club America is that the MLS champions can get better.
Toronto recorded a famous result in advancing past Liga MX champion Tigres in Tuesday's quarterfinal second leg, losing 3-2 on the night in Estadio Universitario, but going through on away goals after a 4-4 aggregate start.cheap nfl nike jersey
"It's clear that MLS continues to grow," he said. "I think Liga MX continues to grow. I think overall football in this region is exciting and full of quality."
"The opportunity to play two matches with everything on the line against the best Mexican team over the last three or four years was something we were very excited about.
"I think for everybody from the outside these games lived up to the hype in every way. You saw two very good teams go after each other and ultimately two great games."
Toronto didn't celebrate wildly on the final whistle and Bradley suggested that it was because the team has greater ambitions.
"The goal from the beginning wasn't to win the quarterfinal," said the former Roma midfielder. "We feel like we have a group that can be in this tournament until the very end.
"I think over the course of the two legs we deserved to go through,new nike nfl jerseys for sale cheap but in the end we've not done anything yet."
Tigres coach Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti said the defeat left him disappointed, but that he felt his players gave everything.
"The team that plays better doesn't always win," said the Brazilian after the match in a news conference. "We were much superior, they had two or three attacks and took advantage of their opportunities.
"We couldn't convert from our many attacks."
