Labeled as a rematch of
last year MLS final staged by the Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC, this time
the Canadians come with an edge and label as all around favorites to win it all
in this 2017.
Something that both squads
sporting a flamboyant look with back to back wins in their respective conferences
and staging an encore of a sudden death final going into the drama of penalty
kicks.
This time we expect
an all-around show of armadas that both squads have in both of their initial
elevens and this time many of its followers expect a display of fireworks from
both sides.
With Brian Schmetzer
counting win an array of weapons and looking forward to make it back to back
wins in what always looked like an elusive cup for the Sounders, this time he
is looking forward to join exclusive MLS elite.
By getting their
names with the likes of DC United, LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo with these squads
wining a double set of league shields, the Sounders can be a part of this
foursome, off course if they win the grand finale.
In his second year in
the helm of Seattle, Brian Schmetzer has proven his mettle as manager after
seeing his squad plagued with injuries to its most notable players and now
getting his majority of starters ready for the grand fete.
By sealing this two
leg series with a total of five goals and a double from former Dynamo Will
Bruin, who came to haunt his old team accompanied by Gustav Svensson early goal
in the first leg and goals from Victor Rodriguez and Clint Dempsey.
The Rave Greens are
back and ready to take BMO Field by storm on December 9.
Getting back to the favorites
in this match considered as USA vs Canada with a repeat of last year finals between
these two squads and going into the infamous penalty kicks, the TFC saw their
luck afoul after missing in several opportunities.
Not this time as the
Reds manager Greg Vanney is ready for the rematch and this time counting with
his multiple weaponry in Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore lethal frontal
attack, the Canadians are looking forward to a successful evening.
Very well a midfield
that led by Michael Bradley and this time he is serious after his missed kick
in last year final and after seeing a successful postseason, this time he is
for real to try to get the big one.
Very well, for manager
Greg Vanney having in his lineup multiple weapons and strategies under his
sleeve and with his squad coming as total favorites to win it all, he would
like to finish the campaign with a high note.
So far he and his
bunch have proved wrong that theory of whomever wins the Supporters Shield is
somehow cursed and not prone to get the cup, he would like to prove everyone
wrong and he and his squad be the first Canadian squad to win an MLS Cup.
In the end this final
seems a bit even despite some of these squad injuries and weaknesses as the TFC
will need to improve their way to do penalties as this one area of much
improvement as you recall last year finals.
At the end despite
many making Toronto a clear favorite I believe both squads are even and the
outcome to decide its destiny on the field by the best squad that comes with
the momentum and all around fighting spirit.
Hopefully the yellow cards accumulation or injuries take the toll on both squads starters, best of luck for both!
