THE STARTING 11: TFC Repercussions From the Pan Am Games
“I need a job in a month!”
Toronto finally got The Olympics! In a different Terminator-esque timeline where every part of the planet NOT in The Americas got on a spaceship and left this round joint… Toronto got The Olympics! However, those pesky Europeans, Africans, Asians and Misc. (Suck it Oceania) haven’t perfected space travel so instead Toronto is hosting the Pan Am Games. The Olympics… with roller skating. It’s still a pretty cool event to have hosted in the GTA and its influence will be felt by many established sporting entities in the area. Toronto FC is a sporting entity last time we checked and is already feeling the Pan Am vibe…
11. In honour of Bermuda, Greg Vanney to rely on “Triangle” midfield.
