TFC Flashback: Reds win MLS Cup rematch vs. Seattle

In this special flashback series for TFC Republic, we examine interesting moments in the history of Toronto FC. 

In the latest instalment: We look back to December 9, 2017 when Toronto FC defeated the Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup final at BMO Field. 

From the worst team in the world, to the greatest team in Major League Soccer history. That’s the story of Toronto FC. 

Former TFC striker Danny Koevermans, who was not shy about speaking his mind during his tenure with the club, raised a fuss when he boldly proclaimed Toronto was “setting a record as the worst team in the world” after it opened the 2012 season with nine consecutive losses. That was the low point of a franchise had long been considered the laughingstock of MLS.
