In the 2009 MLS Season the Sounders went undefeated against Toronto FC and came away with one win and one draw. This year Toronto is off to a poor start, but are still not a team that should be underestimated. Dwayne Derosario has all 4 of Toronto’s goals this season and looks to be in some of the best shape of his career.
Last year Derosario walked away with 11 goals and came in third for shots on goal. 1 out of 3 of his shots are on goal, if your a goal keeper, you don’t like hearing that.
The Sounders will have to do a good job of keeping a lid on Derosario or else he will have at least a few chances on the goal.

After last game’s debacle, the Sounders need to pull out a win here. It would be tuff to settle for a tie… again. Hopefully Freddy L. will be starting the match and will be able to dictate the pace of the game so the Sounders can get some shots on goal. Kickoff is at 11:00 am PST.
[Update] Interesting, the Seattle Sounders lineup looks like it will be a 4-5-1 set up with Freddy L. up top and Patrick Ianni replacing Jhon Kennedy Hurtado. Also Nyassi, Nathan Sturgis, and Pete Vagenas are getting the start. Obviously this is all due to having 2 games lined up over 4 days. Should be interesting!
