Ever since the calendar turned to October there has been a noticeable change in Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley. The normally stern midfielder has dropped his guard a little bit, allowing for the odd smile, even a couple of laughs, to get through.
It was first evident after Toronto FC’s last game of the regular season, a 3-2 win over the Chicago Fire. Bradley held court with reporters, but instead of his usually guarded interviews he had a little fun.
When asked how big of an advantage it would be that TFC played their knockout round game against the Philadelphia Union at home, he said that he would let the reporter know after the game was done.
