Two games in and not a goal scored. This describes both the Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC. The difference is that Toronto has both an excuse and an uplifting message. The excuse is that they’ve just eliminated Mexican powerhouse Tigres from the CONCACAF Champions League.
The message is that they have Giovinco and Altidore and all the weapons that took them to the MLS Cup last season. The goals will come.
The Seattle Sounders were also occupied in the CONCACAF Champions League, a competition they have now been eliminated from, and that, in itself, is a solution to the necessary patience they are having to weather.
