U.S. captain Michael Bradley looks to help Toronto FC make Canadian soccer history
TORONTO — Michael Bradley may be captain of the U.S. but he’s done his Canadian soccer homework.
On Friday, as reporters quizzed him about the magnitude of the Toronto-Montreal showdown in the MLS Eastern final, Bradley reeled off such feel-good moments as Canada making the 1986 World Cup finals, Canada winning the 2000 Gold Cup and the Impact reaching the CONCACAF Champions League final.
“For me, this series is certainly up there with any of those things in terms of big moments in Canadian football history,” said the Toronto skipper. “So I think for all us of who are here and living it and a part of it, you can’t ask for anything more.”
It was typical Bradley, a pro who comes prepared on and off the field.
