For the third time in MLS history, the Cup Final will be a rematch. In 2006 and 2007, the Dom Kinnear Houston Dynamo defeated Taylor Twellman’s New England Revolution, MLS’ answer to the early ‘90s Buffalo Bills. The Dynamo would go on to lose the final two years in a row to the Beckham-Donovan-Keane LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012. This season, the defending champ Seattle Sounders travel to BMO Field to face Toronto FC almost a year to the day after Roman Torres converted the game-winning penalty to give the Sounders the victory over TFC.
The showdown takes place on Dec.
