More MLS Cup pain for Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney, this time by penalty shootout
TORONTO — Greg Vanney described himself as numb. You could add haunted and a little dazed.
Vanney lost three MLS Cups, one in overtime and another after extra time, as a player for the Los Angeles Galaxy. On Saturday night as a coach, he watched another one slip away as his Toronto FC team was beaten 5-4 in a penalty shootout by the Seattle Sounders.
His MLS Cup final pain apparently knows no depths.
“I know what it feels like to be in the locker-room and be one of those guys,” said the 42-year-old Vanney.
