Sights, sounds of World Cup turn Toronto FC training centre into giant rec room
TORONTO — A recent four-day break allowed Toronto FC defender Nick Hagglund to combine two of his favourite pastimes — hanging out with three-month-old daughter Eloise and watching soccer.
“I watched every game,” the 25-year-old said with a smile. “It’s easy. Just hold the baby. Keep her watching with me. Feed her. And she just hangs out and watches games.
“We’re up early in the morning to catch the first ones. It’s been fun.”
For Hagglund, who describes his daughter as a blessing, it is fatherhood at its best — “Getting to share everything that you love with them.”
