All Toronto FC and the Seattle Sounders can do now is wait. Their preparation for Saturday’s MLS Cup final is all but complete; at this point, staying sharp and focused while avoiding injury is the sole task of the two sets of players, but they have another 48 hours to get through before matchday at BMO Field.
And so they kill some time answering the questions of the assembled reporters, with press scrums much busier than usual thanks to the arrival of national and international media in Toronto. There is a lot of reflecting on the individual and team journeys to this point and talk of special dressing rooms.
