Toronto FC visits Seattle Sounders in MLS Cup rematch

Revenge might be the motif for Reds supporters, but rest and recovery for the whole roster is top of mind for TFC coach Greg Vanney.

The Seattle Sounders raised the MLS Cup on Dec. 10, 2016, after shading Toronto FC on penalties following a 0-0 draw. The teams have their only scheduled regular-season match at CenturyLink Field on Saturday.

Greg Vanney doesn’t wince when referring to the Seattle Sounders as “the champions” but it doesn’t exactly roll off the Toronto FC coach’s tongue, either.

The Reds dominated last fall’s MLS Cup against the Western Conference representative, but a scoreless draw after 120 minutes meant penalties, which the Reds went on to lose 5-4.
