It’s nearly over.
Toronto FC will enjoy the luxury of a whole five days without a game after facing Minnesota United at BMO Field on Saturday, with a visit to the New York Red Bulls following on Friday, May 19.
A few weeks ago this would have seemed like a relatively simple conclusion to a tough stretch, with Minnesota struggling badly through their first few weeks of the season and surely powerless to resist a team with Toronto’s attacking force away from home.
The narrative has changed somewhat, however, since the start of April and the laughing stock Loons now have exactly the same number of wins (three) and points (11) as The Best Expansion Team In MLS History, Atlanta United.
