Throughout this MLS season, the best Toronto FC fans have been able to hope for is that their club was a sleeping giant. That the historically dominant 2017 edition of the side was in there somewhere and just needed a rude awakening to get back in the playoff race.
The second half of their match against the Chicago Fire this weekend was the closest sign we’ve had yet that this may well still happen. Toronto was their old dominant self in what was a crucial match at home. The match was part of a four-game win streak in all competitions, the Reds’ best stretch of results all season.
