Also, it's not official yet and probably won't be until Monday, but it looks like Nagbe is indeed finally coming home after rumors of it being a thing for most of the past year:
Sources: Atlanta United to trade Darlington Nagbe to...
BREAKING: Crew to trade for Darlington Nagbe

That's a big trade. Atlanta will have a tough time to replace him.

Score predictions for the big game?

3-2 Seattle in extra time. I guess I'd prefer Toronto, but honestly just hoping for a good game

 

[BKIslandersFan]

I don't quite get why this game isn't taking place at night. I get Sunday Night Football but they already competing with NFL games during day time anyway.

 

[Pouchkine]

Will watch in between some CFL action, I hope for a good game and no referee scandals.

I think they should have done it last night TBH.

 

[Gecklund]

3-1 Seattle with Ruidiaz x2 and Morris scoring for Seattle. I think the big three for Seattle will be dominant today.

Between SNF and LSU vs. Bama, rather take the chance vs SNF. So I get it.

I see tonight its Cowboys vs Vikings.

LSU/Bama was at 3:30 ET.

The night games weren't anything major - Iowa St @ Okla, Clemson blowout...

 

[kingsboy11]

Toronto starting on the front foot to start this game.

 

[tony d]

Seattle winning 2 nil is my pick for the game.

Chapman seems to be letting a lot of challenges go

That's MLS for you. Boring game so far.

Because it's being played on Turf?

 

[Pouchkine]

Because it's being played on Turf?

In part yes but mainly because TFC plays the trap...

 

[Pouchkine]

It's better now.

 

[koyvoo]

Hard luck for TFC. Seattle scores their first ever MLS final goal after 262 minutes on a deflection

 

[Pouchkine]

Boring TFC deserve it.

 

[Pouchkine]

Fantastic goal, well deserved.

 

[kingsboy11]

Brilliant move by Seattle. Think that's going to be the game. TFC didn't take their chances in the first half.

 

[robertmac43]

Well that hurt like ****. I think we deserved a better fate than the loss. That first goal is especially going to haunt me this off season. The loss in possession which was a foul followed by the Benezet terrible defending, and finally the terrible deflection...

 

[c9777666]

No more Seattle/Toronto MLS Cups please.

 

[Basement Cat]

Yea that game wasn't a great showcase for the league. Would've loved an LAFC vs Atlanta final.

 

[robertmac43]

I think people are being a little harsh on yesterdays game. I thought it was entertaining, there were many moments of great skill by Poz and others on TFC. Thought it was decently exciting overall, could have been better for sure, but it was not some terribly boring game.

 

[Pouchkine]

It was decent overall but far from a game neutrals will remember.

It was played on a terribly ugly field but at least the last 4 finals have been played in front of big sellout crowds.
