Watch: Toronto mayor bets beer, coffee in MLS wager with Seattle counterpart

@TorontoFC/Twitter

Ahead of Saturday's MLS Cup final, Toronto mayor John Tory announced a friendly wager with his Seattle equal, Ed Murray.

The wager hinges on the final at Toronto FC's BMO Field between the host and the Seattle Sounders, with Tory offering a local lager and some quintessentially Canadian Tim Hortons' coffee.

In doing so, Tory, who is celebrating the anniversary of his second year in office, pits Tim Hortons' against Seattle-based Starbucks, the CN Tower versus the Space Needle, and local rapper Drake against Macklemore.

Murray has yet to respond, as he's presumably doing mayoral things like fetching cats from trees and catching laterals from the fishmongers at the famous Pike Place market.
