TORONTO — Having played in two World Cups for the United States and having finished on the losing side of the Coppa Italia final when he was with Roma, Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley is no stranger to the big occasion. [...] he’s also savvy enough to know that pregame plans don’t always pan out, so when he leads his team onto the field for Saturday night’s MLS Cup final against the Seattle Sounders, he’ll be keeping an open mind. Toronto FC has certainly done that throughout the MLS Cup playoffs, setting an MLS record with 17 goals scored through its first five games. [...] while Jozy Altidore and former MLS MVP Sebastian Giovinco have captured most of the headlines in that regard with nine goals between them, what takes place in the middle of the field may have a bigger impact on which team lifts the trophy. While Toronto coach Greg Vanney said the attacking nature of both teams could produce “one of the most exciting MLS Cup finals yet,” Seattle counterpart Brian Schmetzer said the matchup between Giovinco and Lodeiro could produce fireworks. A goal by former Stanford star Morris in the second leg of the Western Conference final against Colorado assured Seattle a spot in the championship game. Morris played that game on Nov.
