For Toronto coach John Herdman, Sunday's game at BMO Field is another chance to focus on football rather than the drone spying scandal involving the Canadian women at the Paris Olympics.
Aug 03, 2024 at 01:52 PM ETTORONTO — A date with Mexico's Pachuca in Leagues Cup play offers Toronto FC a welcome albeit difficult new challenge."Personally I've never played against a Mexican team so I'm looking forward to it," added the 22-year-old Frenchman.
The moderator of Herdman's pre-game availability Saturday told journalists only questions regarding the Leagues Cup would be accepted. If he needs a more concrete snapshot of his emotions, he pointed to his Oura Ring, a smart ring used to track sleep and physical activity.Sunday's matchup will determine first place in East Group 6 with the Red Bulls already eliminated from advancing after penalty shootout losses to both Toronto and Pachuca.
Pachuca defender Bryan González, midfielders Alan Bautista, Nelson Deossa and Oussama Idrissi and forward Salomon Rondon were all part of the Liga MX all-star team that beat their MLS counterparts 4-1 with Idrissi among the scorers July 24 in Columbus. But the Mexican side is missing defender Ari Contreras and midfielders Alexei Dominguez and Elias Montiel who are with Mexico at the CONCACAF Men's U-20 Championship. Mexico takes on the U.S. on Sunday in the final of the CONCACAF competing in Leon, Mexico.
