It was more than two decades ago that Greg Vanney and his Los Angeles Galaxy teammates suffered an overtime loss to DC United in the first Major League Soccer Cup final, but when the Toronto FC coach reflects on that defeat the disappointment is still vivid.
Backpedal to TFC’s loss to the Seattle Sounders on penalty kicks in last month’s championship game and that pain also lingers.
“There’s nothing we can change, so the disappointment of the moment, for sure, will always be there,” Vanney said when the Reds reported for the pre-season, 43 days after dropping the Cup final at BMO Field.
