The ratings for Toronto’s win over Montreal are huge. About 1.4 million people in Canada watched the game. The numbers in the USA weren’t as strong.
Fact is Canadians are falling in love with their MLS teams, and according to Waking the Red TFC is leading the way.
Like Seattle, Toronto looked to a Real Salt Lake executive to lead their rebuild. Bill Manning had to convince players to come to a team with a history of losing and a coaching carousel that looked like it would never stop.
"I'll tell you TFC had a bad reputation with players for many, many years," Manning said.
