TORONTO, Canada—Toronto FC are back in the postseason for the fifth time in six seasons as Greg Vanney’s side finished a very respectable second place in Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2020 despite having to overcome the unique challenges of a global pandemic.
Against the odds, The Reds were in the Supporters’ Shield hunt until the very end, and up until Oct. 24 (a month ago), the club had a clear identity, looking like the team to beat in MLS. But then came the infamous injury bug, and questionable performances began piling up just as quickly as the list of names of the team injury report.
