Toronto FC’s coach and players have expressed surprise and more than a little irritation at teammate Sebastian Giovinco being left off the Italian team for the European Championship.
Some of their ire was directed at Italy coach Antonio Conte, who said there were “consequences” to playing in Major League Soccer.
Veteran defender Drew Moor took to Twitter to rubbish that claim
“This is my 12th year in @MLS, haven’t paid one ‘consequence’... #Giovinco #EURO2016,” he wrote.
Moor elaborated in an interview after training Tuesday.
“I personally 100 per cent believe (Giovinco) deserves to be there,” he said.
