TORONTO - While the existing product withers on the field, Toronto FC has assembled some considerable new firepower off it in recent days.
The hope is the cavalry is ready to ride in.
On Monday, the Major League Soccer team unveiled its latest Italian in former Juventus winger Federico Bernardeschi. The 28-year-old arrived in style, taking the stage at the Real Sports bar/restaurant in matching white linen pants and open-neck shirt, showing off a simple tattooed cross on his chest under a beaming smile.
He looked all the world like he had just walked off a yacht, which would not be out of his snack bracket.
