The winter has been long and dark, but now the August light dawns. Just like it is all over the world, the soccer season is beginning for Toronto FC, a mere eight months after they won the 2017 MLS Cup back in December.
It’s kind of weird for the 2018 MLS season to be starting so late, but it’s definitely for the best as the league transitions to football’s traditional winter schedule. The gap also gave TFC plenty of pre-season warmup games, and now it looks like they’re starting to really sharpen up with the season set to begin next Sunday at home to New York City FC.
