Proving that nothing lasts forever, Toronto FC couldn’t keep the leadership or XI together after their three MLS Cup meetings with the Seattle Sounders. Where Seattle continues the Hanauer-Lagerwey-Schmetzer chase for more trophies, TFC is stuck rebuilding.
Currently six points out of the playoffs, the Reds (18 points, 17 played, -8 goal differential) need to take home points from teams like the Sounders (23 points, 16 played, +5 goal differential). With Seattle’s injuries, short rest and travel, Toronto is favored, barely.
Lorenzo Insigne is going to have to watch this one from the suite.
