Toronto FC skipper Michael Bradley unfazed at boos, blunt about Columbus
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The chorus of boos that greeted Michael Bradley’s every touch of the ball Tuesday night was water off the back of the Toronto FC captain.
“I’ve got bigger things to worry about that than whether a few people in Columbus don’t like me,” Bradley said dryly after Toronto’s 0-0 tie with the Columbus Crew SC in Game 1 of the MLS Eastern Conference final Tuesday night.
Bradley, who is also the U.S. captain, and fellow U.S. international Jozy Altidore has been subject to boos at American away games ever since the failed U.S. World Cup qualifying campaign.
Altidore, who was suspended for Tuesday’s game, got the night off in terms of fan abuse.
