Toronto FC’s Current Season in MLS

With John Herdman taking over as head coach, Toronto FC has developed a winning mentality not seen in previous years. The team has been improving towards the end of the season, recovering from a tough negative streak in June and July.

Currently, Toronto FC is still alive in the MLS race, fighting for a playoff spot and aiming to compete for the championship.

A Season of Ups and Downs for Toronto FC

Toronto FC is engaged in a tight battle for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, competing with several teams. Up to now, Toronto FC has played 25 matches under John Herdman’s guidance, which has been crucial for the team’s mentality and recovery from losses. They have accumulated 27 points from these 25 games and are in eighth place, contending with teams like CF Montreal, Orlando City, and Nashville for a playoff spot.

The team has achieved some impressive victories this season, including winning both Canadian derbies against CF Montreal. However, they have also suffered painful defeats and drawn matches that cost them valuable points.

Statistics show that in these 25 matches, Toronto FC has won 8 games, drawn 3, and lost 14, with many of those losses coming late in the game. They have conceded a significant number of goals, with 47 against them compared to 33 scored, resulting in a goal difference of -14, highlighting weaknesses in their defense.

There are hopes that Toronto FC will sign a top-class central defender to address these issues. The team is currently on a break and will return to action on August 24th against Houston Dynamo. As the season nears its end, Toronto FC aims to advance to the playoffs and compete strongly for the MLS championship.
