1. Understand and appreciate the history being made December 10th

When the ball officially gets kicked for the first time on December 10th, remember, no matter what team wins, that history is being made. Seattle and Toronto have never been to MLS Cup. TFC is the first Canadian club to reach the final. The Sounders are the second Cascadian club to reach an MLS Cup, the Portland Timbers did it last year and won.

Do not expect this game to be a traditionally cup final. Expect goals, expect hard hits, expect players leaving their absolute heart and soul on the field. No two teams deserve this opportunity more than Seattle and Toronto.

When 8 pm EST rolls around on December 10th, if you don’t support either club, set your differences aside and just appreciate the awesome concept of these two teams playing the beautiful game on national television. It will be a game to not miss. So, don’t!

Game Prediction: Toronto 3-2 Seattle
