With the Seattle Sounders defeating Toronto FC in a penalty kick shootout last night in MLS Cup, the entire league has officially entered the offseason with Sporting Kansas City. With Seattle winning, that’s two consecutive years that SKC have been painfully eliminated from the playoffs by the team that went on to win the MLS Cup. This one hurt a little more since Seattle’s game winning goal shouldn’t have counted. Last year, while unlucky, Portland’s win was at least legitimate.
Enough about the past, the offseason is a time to look forward to the future. Everyone has the same 0-0-0 record and stand on level ground.
