What that means is up to each individual. Some may choose to remember a high moment. Some may chose to remember a fan driven moment. And, some may chose to remember one of the many screw ups.
We've compiled a list of 64 moments and have seeded them into a 64 team single knock out tournament. There are four regions. The It Hasn't All Sucked Region deals with positive memories, the It's Not Our Fault Region is about the fans, the You Don't Know What You're Doing Region is management and the Who Are Ya Region is for the players.
Today we start the process with the first round of voting in the It Hasn't All Sucked Region.

The match-ups --
No 1 Montreal Miracle vs No 16 Weeds in the Rain
I'm not sure we need to explain what the Montreal Miracle is, but think DeRo hat-tricks, Cup win and pouting Vancouver managers on the sideline.
We don't need to be reminded, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't watch again!
Weeds in the rain is Andrew Wiedeman scoring in Tobias Time to beat the Crew.
Damn we needed this when it happened:
No 8 Tassels wins it vs No 9 Can You Hear Seattle Sing
Terry Dunfield scoring seconds after Vancouver tied it and then taunted the south end. Golden.

Remember when we had hope in 2014? When Defoe scored a brace against Seattle and we, briefly, shut-up the fans WE invented?
No 5 Becks Drinks Keiths vs No 12 New Scarves in March
If there is one thing TFC fans have prided themselves on its being above the marketing hype. So when we filled Rogers Centre for a CCL game it was to watch TFC, not the 28th best Englishman in 2004. And then we threw a beer can at him. And then he set up a goal. If that's not TFC I don't know what is.
New Scarves in March refers to the tradition of opening up our season tickets, seeing our free scarf (that Toronto was the first MLS team to use as a season opening ticket) then complaining about it.
No 4 God Hates Vancouver vs No 13 Real Football Factories of Ohio
The Whitecaps have never won the Voyageurs Cup. It makes them crazy. Once, it looked like it would. Then it rained. And rained. And rained. And Vancouver still hasn't won the Voyageurs Cup.
Before we go any further a reminder: There were THREE total arrests that Spring day in Ohio. ONE was from Toronto. The charge was dropped. But, this required helicopters, police cruisers driving 100MPH through the parking lots and a Toronto Sun cover three days later.
At least we got an (own) goal:
Welcome to Soccer!
No 3 Beat LA! (And no one else) vs No 14 Platita brace
How does The Worst Team in the World (more on that later) make the semi-finals of the CCL?
Well first you have to get to the knock-out round:
No 6 Blanco meet Streamer vs FC Dallas at 10am
Back when TFC fans were inventing Seattle (and every other expansion launch) this is what it was like to be in BMO Field:
Only about 200 showed up to watch the FC Dallas CCL replay at 10 am on a Thursday morning, but if you were there you understand why this is on the list. The heckling got so bad that a Dallas player fired the ball into the supporter's. Kevin Hartman's weight was questioned a great deal.
No 7 Pitch invasion! Vs No 10 Time Wasting Lessons for Bill
The 2007 season was book-ended by two Danny Dichio moments. One is famous and the other created a pitch invasion following a meaningless draw.
So much happy.
The 0-0 draw against Peurto Rico was only memorable for one reason: The most perfect beer toss by a fan in football history. Straight off the head of time wasting wanker Bill Gaudette.
We don't encourage beer throwing, but God did we need the laugh that day (sadly no video).
No 2 The 24th Minute vs No 15 Brawlin with the Mexicans
There is an argument to be made that the CCL semi-final home leg against Santos Laguna was the best game played at BMO Field. It ended as a hockey game:
And, well:
