TORONTO — Growing up in England, John Herdman saw plenty of cup competition. He knows the pitfalls that can come with it.
"If I'm sitting in the Simcoe camp, they'll be pretty excited and, I think, hoping for one of the biggest upsets in Canadian football history," Herdman said. Simcoe qualified by winning the League 1 Ontario title last year. The club finished runner-up in the 2023 regular season at 15-4-1 and defeated league-leading Scrosoppi FC 4-2 in the championship game last September.
In contrast, 20 Toronto players made six-figure salaries or better last season with 12 earning in excess of US$500,000 including Italian stars Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi .
