Toronto FC theme has been all about the team ahead of MLS championship game
TORONTO — Team has been the theme for Toronto FC in the buildup to the MLS Cup final.
From boisterous practices to team-first media interviews, the All for One club motto has been plain to see ahead of Saturday’s championship game against the visiting Seattle Sounders. Nine months into the season, egos have been left by the door for the two finalists.
“You don’t get to this point by mistake or by accident. You get here because a group of special guys who have all bought into a philosophy, an identity,” said Toronto midfielder Will Johnson, who won MLS Cups with Real Salt Lake and Portland.
“I say the same about Seattle. They’re bought into what they’re good at. We’re bought in, very motivated and want to sacrifice and put aside egos to get to a point as a team to compete for the big trophy.”
