Sounders vs Toronto FC live TV: Streaming, schedule and how to watch

Between injury and international call the Toronto FC offense is broken. They lack MVP leader Giovinco and secondary scorer Jozy Altidore. Instead they have the US backup forwards from 2010 - Robbie Findley and Herculez Gomez. Midfielder Michael Bradley, like Clint Dempsey, is supposed to be leaving to join the United States after the match. That will solidify their center, but it is still weak without Collen Warner (suspension).

Playing at home with the Hydra on the mend should put Seattle Sounders FC as huge favorites. Even missing Torres and Pappa off with their national teams, Seattle's woes are nearly over. Crushing an Eastern Conference favorite should be a clear signal that Sounders FC is back.
