Altidore long on love for Toronto but short on why he fell out with TFC

TORONTO — Jozy Altidore returned to the Toronto FC fold Monday, saying he was happy to be back after being exiled from the MLS club more than seven weeks ago. But the star striker, despite repeated questions, was short on details about what led to his prolonged falling-out with the team. He came closest when asked if reports he had wanted out of Toronto were accurate. "At the end of the day, nobody wants to be somewhere where they weren't wanted," he said during a virtual media availability. "An

Toronto FC star speaks out against racist abuse of England players after Euro final

Toronto FC star Jozy Altidore added his voice Monday to the chorus decrying the racist abuse of Black England players after the European Championship final. British police are investigating abuse targeted at Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who failed to score penalties in England’s shootout loss to Italy on Sunday. "It's very disappointing," said Altidore, who is Black. "These boys … have done some great things for English football, world football." "But we've said it how many tim

Conway scores 1st MLS goal, Atlanta ties Nashville 2-2

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jackson Conway scored his first MLS goal six minutes after entering as a second-half substitute and Atlanta United tied Nashville 2-2 on Thursday night. Atlanta (2-3-7) had its winless run extended to seven games — setting a club record. Nashville (4-1-7) is unbeaten in its last 10 games at home, including winning four of the last six games at Nissan Stadium. Anton Walkes headed in Jake Mulraney’s free kick in the sixth minute to give Atlanta United a 1-0 lead. Eight minu

Toronto FC to keep Javier Perez in role of interim coach

TORONTO — Javier Perez is going to get more time to revive Toronto FC in his role as interim coach. Perez was in charge of Toronto's 3-2 win Wednesday in New England, which ended the six-game losing streak that prompted the firing of first-year coach Chris Armas. Initially club management only said Perez would take charge of that game, with the team not playing again until July 17. But Perez, who joined the franchise in February as an assistant coach, said after Wednesday's win that he would be

Raveloson, Cabral score 1st MLS goals in LA Galaxy victory

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Rayan Raveloson and Kévin Cabral scored their first MLS goals and the LA Galaxy beat FC Dallas 3-1 on Wednesday night. Raveloson headed home a corner kick by Víctor Vázquez to open the scoring in the 17th minute. The 21-year-old Cabral slipped a one-touch side-footer, off a brilliant pass by Sebastian Lletget, inside the post to make it 2-0 in the 27th. Ethan Zubak scored his first goal of the season to give the Galaxy (8-4-0) a 3-0 lead in the 51st minute. Franco Jara ran

Toronto FC beats New England, rises from the ashes of heavy D.C. United defeat

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Toronto FC returns home with a much-needed win and some hope. Yeferson Soteldo and Kemar Lawrence scored their first goals for Toronto, helping the slumping MLS side snap a six-game losing streak with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Wednesday. Tsubasa Endoh also scored for Toronto (2-8-2), recording his first goal of the season. Carles Gil and Adam Buksa replied for New England (7-3-3), with Buksa's 78th-minute header making for a tense finale as

Toronto FC hopeful that Altidore impasse will soon come to a resolution

It appears Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley, like most everyone else, is on the outside looking in when it comes to Jozy Altidore's impasse with the MLS club. Bradley, whose finger is usually on the TFC pulse, had little by way of specifics to offer when asked about Altidore on Tuesday. "It's not my place to talk about that situation," he said. "For a lot of different reasons. Mainly because I'm in the dark as well. "Yes, Jozy's a good friend. We've been teammates for a long time. In this last

Toronto FC takes on New England, looking to move ahead after coaching change

Chris Armas has left the building, not by choice. Still, Toronto FC's former head coach was front and centre in absentia Tuesday. Armas was axed the day after Saturday's humiliating 7-1 loss at D.C. United, which represented TFC's heaviest-ever margin of defeat. Toronto (1-8-2) has lost six straight, is winless in seven and languishes in the 27-team league basement. "As players, as a team, as a club, you deal with the consequences with the aftermath of a (losing) period like this and of a game l
