Ahead of the Seattle Sounders’ first ever appearance in an MLS Cup final this weekend, team captain Brad Evans says that even though Toronto FC have two of the best forwards in the league, the Sounders are more than capable of containing them.
As for Sebastian Giovinco, who is widely regarded as one of the best players in all of MLS, Evans said that keeping the ball away from him is one of the only ways the Sounders can hope to contain him. He compared current-day Giovinco to Javier Morales’ heyday at Real Salt Lake. “They might look like they play a 4-4-2 diamond or whatever, but he’ll pop up anywhere on the field and get the ball.
