TORONTO, Canada—The culture has shifted.
As Mitchell Tierney elegantly illustrated last week, if Toronto FC haven’t already, then the club is getting very close to turning the page on an era spearheaded by their three most iconic players: Sebastian Giovinco, Jozy Altidore, and Michael Bradley.
That’s not a knock on Bradley or Altidore, however, who still remain crucial components of the franchise—both on the field and in a leadership capacity—but rather a suggestion that it’s no longer 2016, 2017, or even 2019 where much of the club’s fortunes rested on the shoulders of their talisman.
