MLS is Back Tournament Group C: Experts pick who will advance

Group C at the MLS is Back Tournament has plenty of contenders, though MLSsoccer.com talent thinks there’s a clear leader: Toronto FC.

That distinction comes after TFC made the 2019 MLS Cup final and returns game-changing talents like Alejandro Pozuelo and Jozy Altidore. But what about the rest of the group? Arguments can be made for the Montreal Impact, New England Revolution and D.C. United all advancing. One could even grab a wild-card slot depending on how other groups shake out.

Feel free to toss your own predictions out there, too, via the MLS is Back Bracket Challenge presented by Audi. You’ll have a chance to win $10,000 or some MLS swag from the MLS store. The deadline to register is 8 pm ET on Wednesday, July 8.
