A season that started in turmoil could end in triumph for Toronto FC, as TFC meet the Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup final for the third time in four years.

Last Updated Sunday, November 10, 2019 4:39PM ESTTFC will have to do it on hostile ground, however, with a sellout crowd of more than 69,000 solidly behind the home-town Sounders at CenturyLink Field as Toronto and Seattle meet in the MLS Cup final for the third time in four years.There will be a small pocket of Toronto support in the Pacific Northwest. The visiting team was allocated 3,000 tickets.

The matchup, the rubber match with Seattle winning the title in 2016 and Toronto in 2017, features two of MLS' success stories. Stability took a while for Toronto this year. Prior to the season kickoff, the team lost GM Tim Bezbatchenko to Columbus, offensive stars Sebastian Giovinco and Victor Vazquez departed for greener pastures and Dutch international Gregory van der Wiel was dismissed after a training camp bust-up.

"It's been a long year but I feel all of that has been worth it now in the end because I think it's helped us come together as a group and be resilient and win games on the road and show how tough we can be because we've had to come through some adversity this season." "I'm still hopeful that when he gets up, he feels great," he added. "He hit a couple of balls today. If there's nothing really wrong with him, then we'll try to make use of him as much as possible.""I'm sure he's going to be involved in the game at some point. He's too big of a player. It is a final. I'm sure he'll be involved in some way, shape or form. Whether he starts or comes off he bench, that's Greg's choice.
