Toronto FC are a very good team; they boast a plethora of talented players and are currently leading the race for the Supporters’ Shield. There is no shame to losing to a club like that.
But that doesn’t make Minnesota United’s loss sting any less, does it? This loss left a bitter taste in my mouth, but in a different way than the thrashings against Portland and Atlanta.
This feeling might actually have been worse. We looked bad for pretty much the entirety of those blowouts. But against Toronto, we looked good. The team gave me hope.
