All the worries that we had about Toronto FC going into this game were borne out.
This time it was Gregg Berhalter, not Greg Vanney, who threw a tactical surprise into the mix, and it successfully stifled TFC. Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco were not at their best for much of the game after their long spell on the sidelines. To make matters worse, Altidore picked up an injury.
And that big, statement home performance we’ve been waiting for? Well, we’re still waiting.
But in spite of it all, Toronto are Eastern Conference champions and MLS Cup finalists for the second year in a row.
