Sunday at Yankee Stadium seems a long time ago. A different world, even. And instead of now looking ahead to another matchup this coming weekend, Toronto FC have a whole lot of waiting to do before their trip to Montreal on November 22.
It’s strange and a perk of MLS’ summer season to have everything put on hold at this late stage, with just four teams still alive in pursuit of the MLS Cup. Toronto would surely have loved to keep their group together and roll into the Eastern Conference final as quickly as possible, such was the manner and margin of their defeat of New York City, but the Impact probably feel the same way.
