Toronto FC to meet former championship rivals Seattle on Saturday
At the same stage last year, Toronto had been to Mexico and Colorado and Montreal. Coach Greg Vanney says there's good and bad to the travel discrepancy caused by the early exit from the CONCACAF Champions League.The crowded schedule, tough competition and intense travel at the start of the 2018 season meant Toronto was battle-tested early on.
The teams have MLS Cup history, with Seattle winning in 2016 and Toronto emerging triumphant in 2017. “I think we're more prepared this year to manage that,” midfielder Jonathan Osorio said of the coming schedule congestion. “We all know that's coming, but right now the thing that's in our head is Seattle on the weekend.”
It will present a different challenge from the defence-first approach of Chicago last week in a 2-2 tie in Toronto.
