Toronto FC looks to live up to expectations as Nashville SC comes to town
TORONTO — It has been an almost weekly occurrence this season. Rival coaches kill Toronto FC with kindness ahead of games and then watch their team hand TFC more heartache on the field.
This Saturday, it’s Nashville SC’s turn.
Nashville coach Gary Smith calls the trip to Toronto “fraught with problems and difficulties, mostly based on the quality of our opponent.”
“I would put this Toronto group, technically, in the top four or five in this league,” he said. “They’re a very, very well-drilled group and very, very capable group. And they’re a very dangerous group that, if given the opportunity, can make any team look absolutely stupid.”
