The 2016 MLS Cup matchups to watch

TORONTO — The 2016 MLS Cup final is shaping up to be one of the most talent-laden affairs in the history of the championship game. International stars and U.S. national team stars will fill the marquee on a day that is promising to be cold, but also entertaining.

From the quick and skilled wizards Sebastian Giovinco and Nicolas Lodeiro, to the power and tenacity of Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley and Osvaldo Alonso, Saturday's final is arguably the best collection of talent to ever contest the MLS Cup title.

The winner is likely to come down to which team's stars deliver on Saturday, and given how well Seattle and Toronto's marquee players have delivered in the postseason, it is tough to pick which set of stars will be the ones to deliver.
