TORONTO—There’s no tougher way to lose a final than sudden-death penalty kicks after a dominating performance in which the opponent didn’t get a shot on target.
Toronto FC has been used to swallowing bitter pills for nine years, and Saturday night’s MLS Cup loss to the Seattle Sounders at their home BMO Field will sting for a while.
But this loss—unlike in prior years—doesn’t raise doubts, and actually validates the club’s progress and place in the city’s and country’s sporting landscape.
The effect we had on the city it was palpable.
