The door will likely slam this weekend on Toronto FC’s faint post-season hopes. But the rebuilding continues at TFC.
Thirteenth-place Toronto (9-15-7, 34 points) visits fifth-place Orlando City (12-12-6, 42 points) on Saturday, with TFC sitting six places and seven points out of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference and only nine points left on the table from its three remaining regular-season games.
A win by seventh-place Columbus or a Toronto loss are high among the scenarios that would finish off TFC’s slim hopes. A Toronto tie could also spell the end.
Toronto coach Bob Bradley sees the bigger picture.
