MLS review: Toronto FC decide to start over, Inter Miami continue to struggle
It was another eventful week in the MLS, where things came to a head at Toronto and Inter Miami still just can't get going at all.
Toronto have struggled all season, with Jozy Altidore playing in just four of the 11 games and only scoring one goal.
Armas previously coached the New York Red Bulls winning 29 MLS games in two-plus seasons. He led the Red Bulls to the 2019 playoffs, where they lost in the first round.
Toronto FC will have assistant Javier Perez as the manager for Wednesday's game at first-place New England Revolution. According to Planet Sport Bet, New England is an 8/15 favorite in that game at Gillette Stadium. The struggling Reds are 17/4 with a draw at 10/3.
Miami shutout again
The Inter Miami CF offense continues to struggle, and on Saturday, they fell 1-0 to CF Montreal.
Miami has a full week off before they head back to Red Bull Arena for a July 17 game against New York Red Bulls.
Chicharito misses game, Galaxy fall
The MLS leading scorer, Chicharito, was a last-minute scratch on Independence Day and his LA Galaxy lost at home 2-0 to Sporting KC. With the win, SKC moved atop the table with 26 points, the same tally as Seattle Sounders, who drew 1-1 Sunday.
The Galaxy are next in action on Wednesday night at home against FC Dallas. Planet Sport Bet has the Galaxy 4/6 to grab the win, but that could change if Chicharito is ruled out. Dallas is at 16/5, and a draw is 31/10. Sporting KC doesn't play again until July 21, when they host San Jose.
