Ghanaian winger Dominic Oduro
Ghanaian winger Dominic Oduro believes Seattle Sounders have the quality to win the 2017 MLS Cup Final which will be played on Saturday at the BMO Field, Toronto in Canada.
The Sounders face Toronto FC for the US Soccer League title after a long regular season and in addition to the many fans, they have Oduro in their corner at least for Saturday’s game.
In an exclusive interview with Citi Sports this week, the former Chicago Fire and Columbus Crew player, said that his allegiances to Montreal would not allow him to lean towards Toronto but he added that Seattle’s good form in the playoffs would give them an edge on Saturday.
“If I pick Toronto to win the Cup final, the fans in Montreal will not be very happy with me.
As a soccer fan, you will have to admit that Toronto have a good team at the moment but in football, anything is possible. If you want it, you will go and get it.
Seattle has good momentum right now and that is really good. I cannot go for Toronto because they are rivals to us in Montreal so I will go for Seattle.”
Seattle’s run to the final was more prolific in terms of goals scored as compared to Toronto’s.
The Sounders beat Vancouver Whitecaps 2-0 over two legs and the Houston Dynamo 5-0 over two legs to make the Cup final while Toronto drew 2-2 with New York Red Bull to qualify via the away goals and beat Columbus Crew 1-0 over two legs.
