After a gut-punch of an ending in the 1-1 draw with FC Dallas last weekend, the Portland Timbers face another up-hill battle against Toronto FC (aka Italy’s B team).
A Look at the Opposition
I’m sure everyone is well aware of the acquisitions Toronto (7-5-12, 13th in the East) made to their squad in the summer transfer window after a dreadful start to their season. But in case you aren’t, allow me to catch you up to speed.
The most notable of their mid-season arrivals came from Serie A in the form of Lorenzo Insigne, who scored 124 goals and provided 95 assists in all competitions for Napoli over 13 seasons.
