Sounders vs Toronto FC, live stream: Game time, TV schedule and lineups

Greg Vanney ruined the hype for what should have been a great televised match, and ESPN was excited to broadcast the rematch of MLS Cup winner and runner-up. Instead, Toronto FC is resting several players and the Seattle Sounders are off to a slow start. That’s not to say Saturday’s noon match is going to be easy. No game has been easy for Seattle this year, well, except for the LA game...that looked kind of easy. TFC is still pretty good and their depth players could perform, just as Seattle’s depth players have performed.

But, this is an opportunity to do to TFC what they did to Dallas last year - steamroll them.

Jair Marrufo is the center referee.

Injuries and Suspensions

Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley are in danger of suspension, but it would take two yellows. Many of Toronto’s more important players stayed home rather than travel to Seattle on short rest. Only Drew Moor (heart) is listed as out for TFC. Oniel Fisher, Chad Marshall, Henry Wingo, and Nouhou are all out for Seattle Sounders. Brad Evans, Aaron Kovar and Jordan Morris are questionable.

Keys to the Game:

• Do not permit retreat. Do not permit surrender.
• Flood the left
• Vanney made a bad choice. Dominate.
• Seriously, just go off.
