Toronto FC filled holes in its starting 11 and added experience in the off-season.
So the hope is the 2017 champion can return to its winning ways after two seasons mired near the bottom of the Major League Soccer standings. But depth is a question-mark as TFC kicks off the regular season Saturday at D.C. United.
The schedule-maker has pitted the league’s two worst teams from last year in an Audi Field matchup that likely only devoted fans are looking forward to.
Toronto (9-18-7) finished 27th overall, seven points ahead of cellar-dwelling D.C. (7-21-6), in a 2022 season that ended with a whimper for both teams.
