TORONTO - Officially eliminated from MLS playoff contention, Toronto FC is focused on getting healthy and retooling its game ahead of a Nov. 3 Canadian Championship semifinal with Pacific FC.
“It’s been a very difficult year for everybody, for all of us,” said Toronto coach Javier Perez, who took over the team July 4 when first-year coach Chris Armas was fired after a 1-8-2 start. “But at the same time, we want to continue to get better.”
Toronto (6-16-7) has five regular-season games remaining. Next up is a midweek visit to slumping Inter Miami CF (9-15-5), which has lost six straight since winning 1-0 in Toronto on Sept.
