If they weren’t fretting over tickets, Toronto FC fans spent the past week obsessing over what might happen on Saturday. The team’s form has been hard to read recently, and the Seattle Sounders have cruised through the Western Conference field.
Still, the MLS Cup final this weekend almost feels like it’ll take place in a vacuum. TFC will have had 10 days off to prepare (which has felt just as long as the break before the Eastern Conference final). Plus, this is the game they’ve been waiting for since 2016.
Whether or not TFC can pull off the win on home soil this time largely depends on their game plan.
