Things are bad up north. Outrageously bad. It’s quite obvious now that Toronto FC was over-hyped coming into the season. The season ticket sales, the great atmosphere of their new stadium, and the seemingly solid opening day roster all pointed towards a promising start for the newest MLS franchise. Things sure can spiral out of control quickly, eh?
They have yet to score a goal, and perhaps even more alarming, Eskandarian and Buddle don’t appear to be anywhere near their peak performance levels. There’s a reason why Mo Johnston was run out of town in New York; the man simply can’t coach. He has no sense of managerial prudence, wildly trading players left and right (How awful does that midfield look without Cancela now?). To be fair, Ronnie O’Brien has yet to play a match for them and #1 draft pick Maurice Edu just got his first minutes yesterday. But nevertheless, the trashing that the Wizards put on them has to send shockwaves to many TFC supporters. I still don’t think they’ll do as poorly as Chivas’ first season (4-6-22), but this ‘team’ will certainly be bringing up the rear throughout most of the year. It’s unfortunate really….at least they have a nice stadium.
