TORONTO – Richie Laryea lived out a dream.
TORONTO – Richie Laryea lived out a dream.
The Canadian defender started all five of his country’s matches — including its hometown opener on a pitch he knows well — as part of a breakout World Cup campaign for the men’s national team.
The international sporting showcase now growing ever smaller in Laryea’s rear-view mirror, his focus is solely on getting scuffling Toronto FC on track.
And it’s been a minute since the club walked through BMO Field’s doors.
The 31-year-old and his teammates return to the friendly confines Saturday when they host the New England Revolution as Major League Soccer resumes action on Lake Ontario’s northwestern shore after more than three months.
TFC and the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts were forced out of the stadium in May when FIFA took control ahead of the tournament. Thousands of temporary seats were added to get the venue World Cup ready, while other permanent improvements included four LED video boards.
Laryea, however, knows things will look a lot different this weekend compared to the scenes when he crossed the touchline for Canada against Bosnia-Herzegovina on June 12.
