Saturday was a telling game. It told us that NYCFC still has plenty of room for growth. It told us that, indeed, Toronto are a talented, deep, and well coached team. It told us that Pirlo’s defensive shortcomings cannot be outweighed by his “sublime passing.” So many things went wrong and they’ve been laid out by my fellow writers on Hudson River Blue, looking inward towards this Patrick Viera-led squad. I am going to attempt to look at Toronto, and what they have done to ensure consistent success.
