Talk about a momentum killer. The international break could not have come at a worse time for Toronto FC, who were playing their best soccer of the year through the first two rounds of the MLS playoffs. Toronto's dominant 5-0 victory over New York City FC at Yankee Stadium now seems like a distant memory.
Tonight, Toronto FC will see if they can pick things up where they left off when they face their biggest test yet: their arch rivals the Montreal Impact in the MLS Eastern Conference final. It is the farthest Toronto FC has gone in the playoffs, where they will face the team that eliminated them just a year ago.
