Seattle, WA – With or without the Man of New Jersey, Jozy Altidore, Toronto FC have in their pocket the chance to become MLS Champions for the second time in less then 3 years facing Seattle Sounders in the United States at the CenturyLink Field, this afternoon!
In 2017, TFC had the homefield advantage, with their fans cheering on. This 2019 installment, the homefield advantage goes to the Sounders whom deserve it after finishing second in the regular season within their respective conference.
That being said, TFC had a rough start to it but have been coming back with a force.
With the inclusion of The Spanish star, Alejandro Pozuelo, the empty place left by Sebastian Giovinco has been covered 100 per cent, including some skills particular to the International, Victor Vasquez, another big absence on Reds’ side this time around.
The Vanney Boys have the capacity to know how to cover any absent positions thanks to the awesome preparation ingrained by their head coach.
This is a great opportunity for the Canadian team to show their good skills and the experience to drive this kind of games as the final step of this competition.
Starting lineups will be published shortly!
Don’t miss this early start on the pitch at 12pm Pacific Time (3pm E.T. for TFC fans back home)
