TORONTO -- The Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC have players who stand out, players who are considered vital to their teams success.Toronto FC has its big three of Sebastian Giovinco, Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley. The Sounders have the likes of Nicolas Lodeiro, Roman Torres, Osvaldo Alonso and rookie sensation Jordan Morris.Each is expected to play a prominent role as the teams compete for the MLS Cup Saturday night at BMO Field.There obviously is much more to both teams and because of that Toronto FC and the Sounders will be playing for the MLS Cup Saturday night at BMO Field.It would be the first MLS Cup win for either TFC, which entered the league in 2007, or Seattle, which joined in 2009.Both sides emphasized the team aspect Thursday during a media conference at TFCs training facility in suburban TorontoSounders coach Brian Schmetzer said he looks beyond Torontos three stars when assessing the Eastern Conference champions.They obviously have their big three, Schmetzer said. But theyre more than just the big three. You look at that team, I think Drew Moors inclusion, Will Johnson, those types of players have helped them in key moments.The same with his own team. Lodeiro joining the team during the season was a big move and the return of Torres from knee surgery also was a big factor.Its just not them, he said. I think the compliment I give to (TFC) would be, theyre a team. Thats why I think that this matchup is a good one on many different layers because were a team as well. This should be a really entertaining match between two teams that believe they can win, they have stars and they have the everyday guys that put in their work.The Sounders showed that team effort when they were able to succeed even with U.S. international Clint Dempsey being sidelined since August with an irregular heartbeat.Altidore was asked why he seems to talk about the team more than himself in interviews.The U.S. international forward has been a hot scorer for Toronto with 15 goals in his past 20 games, including a record of scoring goals in five straight postseason games.I just feel like what you can accomplish as a group is far greater than what you can accomplish by yourself, he said. And we look to a game like Saturday, individual performances dont really mean anything if we collectively dont put it together as a team.Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney said his team concentrates on what it wants to accomplish, while making adjustments to its opponents.We believe its about us, Vanney said. We spend every week with our image and vision for how want the game to look like but within that there are nuances of dealing with the opposition, whether its key players, whether theyre a transition team or a possession-oriented team. Well make little adjustments to make the game the way we want it look like. ... But the emphasis is really on ourselves. We believe that we have the group that if we play the way we want to play games (other teams) will have to adjust to us. At the same time we try to organize it in way that we understand what the opposition is trying to do.Torres did not rejoin the Sounders until August because of his knee injury. The center back with partner Chad Marshall will be trying to negate big, strong Altidore and the clever, elusive Giovinco.Everything has to do with concentration, Torres said. You have to be very concentrated because we cant just focus on one player. They have 11 players -- Giovinco, (Armando) Cooper, Bradley -- and they all can play. We have to all be concentrated and attentive to our assignments. ...Its going to be a tight game. Thats what I see. A tight game in which both teams are going to try and commit the least amount of mistakes. Then, we have to finish the chances that we have. Cheap Sneakers Ireland .
