The 2022 MLS Cup Final is now in the rear-view mirror, and Toronto FC’s last game was more than a month ago. Sufficient time to reflect on the season that just passed.
After the year that was 2021 the great TFC tear down and re-build was expected. After shedding an unprecedented 21 players from the 2021 squad any sane follower of the club knew there was going to be a lot of hurt and suffering as the team was reconstructed.
However, the early season’s relative success raised expectations that a playoff drive was possible, if TFC could just keep in striking distance of the last playoff spots.
