Toronto FC believes it can see light at the end of the tunnel, both on and off the pitch.
The hope is that with vaccination numbers going up and Ontario slowly re-opening, the MLS team can return home to play at BMO Field sooner than later. And despite an underwhelming 1-5-2 start, coach Chris Armas and the players are confident they can recalibrate as needed on the field.
It starts Wednesday against Nashville SC (2-1-5). Veteran Toronto defender Omar Gonzalez calls it a “championship game.”
“We need these points,” he added.
Gonzalez believes a win Wednesday can kick-start the season — and get TFC back on track.
