Toronto FC’s start has been far from perfect, but it’s too early to panic

One win in six is not good. There is no way to dress that up, and none of the other five teams in MLS in that situation (or worse, in the Philadelphia Union’s case) along with Toronto FC will be particularly pleased with their start to the season. Even Real Salt Lake, who have already fired a coach, have a couple of victories on the board.

Taken out of context, though, only really the loss to the Columbus Crew on Saturday looks like a bad result. TFC would have loved to have turned draws against Philadelphia and Atlanta United into wins, of course, and should have, but the real problem with all those ties is the pressure they add to the games that follow.
