The 2017 MLS Cup Final is a rematch of the 2016 contest that Seattle Sounders won, but the two teams are different. Toronto FC set the record for points earned by an MLS team with 69. They sit poised to earn the first treble in MLS history. They also added an MLS Best XI creative midfielder — Victor Vazquez.
Wearing a star all of 2017, about a third of Seattle’s roster is different. Expected starters Will Bruin, Victor Rodriguez, Gustav Svensson and Kelvin Leerdam were not on the Cup-winning team.
