The next couple of months could be a bit tricky for Toronto FC. As the MLS regular season winds down, the team is in a commanding position atop the Supporters’ Shield standings. Now the only discussion left, it seems, is where they rank in the league’s history books.
It would make sense, as a result, to see Toronto coast down the stretch. After all, their record doesn’t convey how turbulent this year has been for them from an injury, absences and travel standpoint. Taking things easy before the playoffs start is a time-honoured tradition in many sports.
