MLS Eastern Conference preview: Can anyone stop Toronto FC?
Toronto FC were kings of MLS last season, but can the Reds follow up their record-breaking year with another Eastern Conference triumph?
It’s Toronto’s league, and the other 22 teams in MLS are just living in it. While everyone in the Eastern Conference was playing catchup, the Reds got better. The onus is firmly on the rest of the East to stop Greg Vanney’s men from making their third straight MLS Cup appearance.
The good news, then, at least for those of you hoping for a different outcome this year, is that the Conference is insanely deep. Toronto were joined in the playoffs last season by NYCFC, Chicago, Atlanta, Columbus and RBNY and arguably only Columbus and Atlanta got worse.
