Toronto FC

Toronto FC’s first presence at an MLS Cup Final has been anticipated ten long years by the most supportive of the team’s fans. TFC (14W-9L-11D for 53Pts) having a better record than the Seattle Sounders (14W-14L-6D for 48Pts) during the course of the 2016 season, the city of Toronto gets to host the playoffs’ closing game.

It’s not the first time that the most important game of the year happens to be at BMO Field, in 2010 the FC Dallas and the Colorado Rapids got to play for the Cup north of the border, but this time for the 21st edition, the Torontonians will be able to cheer for their club.

La première présence du Toronto FC à la Finale de la Coupe de la MLS a été longuement attendue pendant dix ans par les plus fidèles des fans de l’équipe . TFC (14V-9D-11N pour 53Pts) ayant une meilleure fiche que les Seattle Sounders (14V-14D-6N pour 48Pts) au cours de la saison 2016, la ville de Toronto va accueillir la partie qui ferme les séries.

Ce n’est pas la première fois que le plus important match de l’année s’adonne à être au BMO Field, en 2010 le FC Dallas et les Colorado Rapids ont pus jouer au nord de la frontière, mais cette fois pour la 21e édition, les Torontois vont pouvoir supporter leur club.

Today's highlighted players' confrontation is between two veteran defenders. Drew Moor will be TFC's last line of defense between the Sounders' attackers and Toronto's goalkeeper.

Playing with Colorado between the years 2009 and 2015, he was named the team's captain in 2013, and was recognized three times as Rapids' Defensive Player of the Year. Last year, he was chosen to be on the AT&T MLS All-Star roster.

Les joueurs mis en évidence par la confrontation du jour sont deux vétérans défenseurs. Drew Moor sera la dernière ligne de défense entre les attaquants des Sounders et le gardien de but de Toronto.

Jouant avec Colorado entre les années 2009 et 2015, il fût nommé capitaine de l'équipe en 2013 et fût reconnu le Joueur Défensif de l'Année à trois reprises chez les Rapids. L'année dernière, il fût choisi pour être sur l'alignement de l'Équipe d'Étoiles MLS AT&T.

Seattle Sounders


The Seattle Sounders have finally made it into the Final in their eighth season among the Canadian-American premier league of soccer. They have had a lot of success since joining MLS in 2009, on the field and attendance- wise, but this is a first for them.

The list of their accomplishments in such a short time period is impressive: they have won the Cascadia Cup in 2011 & 2015, the Supporters’ Shield in 2014, and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2014, plus they finished at the top of the Western Conference in 2014.

Les Sounders FC de Seattle ont finalement atteint la Finale à leur huitième saison dans la première ligue Canadienne-Américaine de soccer. Ils ont eu beaucoup de succès depuis qu’ils ont joint la MLS en 2009, sur le terrain et concernant l’assistance, mais ceci est une première pour eux.

La liste de leurs accomplissements en un si court laps de temps est impressionnante: ils ont gagnés la Cascadia Cup en 2011 & 2015, le Supporters’ Shield en 2014 et la Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup en 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2014, plus ils ont fini au sommet de la Conférence de l’Ouest en 2014.


Key Player:

Chad Marshall

Drew Moor's opponent is a 6 feet 4 inches gentle giant who is no average defender. His three MLS Defender of the Year awards attest to that. Nobody else in the league's history has had the honor to be awarded this individual title for the third time.

Like Toronto's main backline's sentry, he plays at central back. Let the statistics speak for this man of few words.

***

L'adversaire the Drew Moor est un gentil géant de 6 pieds 4 pouces qui n'est pas un défenseur ordinaire. Ces trois titres de Défenseur de l'Année MLS l'attestent. Personne d'autre dans l'histoire de la ligue a eu l'honneur d'être récompensé de ce titre pour une troisième fois.

Comme la principale sentinelle de Toronto, il joue à la défense centrale. Laissons les statistiques parler pour cet homme de peu de mots.

Support SteemSports Ultimate Vote Betting … together we all can win!


How to Play

  • Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).

  • Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).

  • After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.

The Stake Pool:

  • The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.

  • 30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.

  • 70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.

  • Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.

  • Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.

  • Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.

  • @steemsports reserves the right to amend future payout percentages based on the operation needs of the account.

  • @steemsports is not a traditional betting platform and no fiat currency is used as rewards or in casting bets; as such does not fall under any gaming and gambling jurisdictions; but even so, users are urged to first consult with the laws and age restrictions of their countries.

  • @steemsports in the unlikely event that when the Stake Pool is divided up between the winners and the nomenclature resolution goes below the third decimal place (example: 0.0001), then Steem decimal restrictions won’t allow a payout and the pool will carry over to the next game.

  • Please vote responsibly :).
