We just have to beat montreal, we just gotta

i can see TFC doing well if we win

[FluSH]

Man!

We need to score those 4 goals... we HAVE to...

Cruz Azul!
Saprissa!
Our Step-Child Columbus Crew!

This has rivalry matchups written all over...

[InTheCrowd]

I'm sure we'll defeat Montreal 4-0! Keep the faith........ :(

[SmokedPanda]

6-0 next thursday for the TFC.... we got this!

[Lennon]

Oh man ... TFC vs. Colubmus in champs league ... that would be so epic ...

Get Gerba signed in time for the Montreal game !!!

[Kickit09]

I'm sure we'll defeat Montreal 4-0! Keep the faith........ :(


not with barrett and vitti starting. they have combined for 2 goals in 25 games. at that rate they will need 75 games to score 6 goals combined. and those are our starting strikers...so sad. :(

[InTheCrowd]

Oh man ... TFC vs. Colubmus in champs league ... that would be so epic ...

Get Gerba signed in time for the Montreal game !!!

I have no idea about this, but would Gerba be alowed to compete if we signed him before the Montreal game?

[Beach_Red]

I'm sure we'll defeat Montreal 4-0! Keep the faith........ :(

Yes, let's remember, Montreal has collapsed in big games before.

:scarf::scarf::scarf:

[rocker]

Yes, let's remember, Montreal has collapsed in big games before.

:scarf::scarf::scarf:

ya what was it, 5 goals in one game?

yer never out of it against Montreal :)

[bertal]

it's a tall order

[Lennon]

Yes, let's remember, Montreal has collapsed in big games before.

:scarf::scarf::scarf:

Yea but we're not Santos and this time Montreal is at home ...

Having said that ... I still believe

[zeelaw]

OMG Columbus!

We have to win now... we just have too!

[profit89]

Great pairings if tfc qualifies. I doubt it though.. 4 goals. Barrett is our striker.

[icecoldbeer]

Can we change our name to Santos Toronto FC for vs. Montreal then?

[FluSH]

Both Cruz Azul and Saprissa are HUGE clubs... winning against either of these teams would bring so much joy to my life... seriously =P

[James17930]

You know what's going to happen:

We're going to win 3 - 0 in Montreal.

Mark my words.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

I have no idea about this, but would Gerba be alowed to compete if we signed him before the Montreal game?


he should be able too...but can we get him signed before then?

[FluSH]

hmmmm... this should be interesting REAL soon.

[nascarguy]

road trp to Puerto

[TFC 420]

road trp to Puerto
Now you're thinkin'

[TFC07]

TFC needs to score 5 goals to win Canadian championship?

[SilverSamurai]

ya what was it, 5 goals in one game?

yer never out of it against Montreal :)
It was like 3 goals in the last 3-4 mins.
It was baaad. It was as if the team had a melt down of epic fail proportions.

I think Santos was even down a man...(might be confused with that though)

[SilverSamurai]

TFC needs to score 5 goals to win Canadian championship?
4 and we're in.

[Redpunkfiddle]

4 and we're in.

To be clear we need to win by 4. That includes such appealing possibilities as 5-1, 6-2, and 12-8.

I look at this draw and am numb. Saprissa. Cruz Azul. Incredible opportunities. I can't feel it.

All I have on my mind is that little bit of hope that we can dominate Montreal like the last game, except we score all the goals we might have.

[Bobo]

not with barrett and vitti starting. they have combined for 2 goals in 25 games. at that rate they will need 75 games to score 6 goals combined. and those are our starting strikers...so sad. :(

LOL! As funny as it is sad.

[Mojo]

Even if we beat this USL team, theres no way in hell we're gonna beat a USL team in CONCACAF.

[Shway]

We Have To Believe...!!!

I Would Definately Do The Puerto Trip
All The Pretty Woman

[Toronto Ruffrider]

Puerto Rico will be a tough opponent for either Vancouver or Toronto. There are no chump teams from Belize or Nicaragua this time around.

[twistedchinaman]

Montreal then Puerto Rico and then on to kicking Columbus in the balls on a North American level.

Hoo, it gives me the willies.

CARN YOU REDS!!!!

[thrillgill]

You know what's going to happen:

We're going to win 3 - 0 in Montreal.

Mark my words.



yeah..... either that or MTL will score on a penalty in the 93rd minute from a Wynne handball to make it 4-1.:drinking:

[Lennon]

No Wynne on Tuesday ... maybe a 93rd min Velez own goal?

[Ossington Mental Youth]

Not gonna happen forus but it would have been amazing to see us play against those teams, we would have had a really difficult group

[Shway]

think negative. so are hopes arent up...
so if we win, we celebrate

[Fort York Redcoat]

Imagine a Velez header v his old team.
Guevara freekick v his old team.
Cruz Azul. Says enough.

[Suds]

We Have To Believe...!!!

If the 'Montreal Miracle' is actually pulled off, who would consider a trip to Puerto Rico to watch TFC?

[FluSH]

I Can Dream...

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

Man!

We need to score those 4 goals... we HAVE to...

Cruz Azul!
Saprissa!
Our Step-Child Columbus Crew!

This has rivalry matchups written all over...


TFC VS CREW in the CL WOULD BE INSANE!....

I cant beleive the whole we have dug ourselfs in!

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

Oh man ... TFC vs. Colubmus in champs league ... that would be so epic ...

Get Gerba signed in time for the Montreal game !!!

would he even be eligible to play in the Championsleague???

[Kickit09]

Why is everyone so excited about possibly playing Columbus in the Champions League. They are starting to play better now, and we've still never beat them. If MLSE bribe the refs and we actually make it to CL , I'd rather play anyone else but Columbus.

Because ... we get to go there again and take over their stadium! It's going to be like a home game for us ... I wonder how many people would go down for a CL game ...

[DangerRed]

I love this team, league play and CONCACAF and everything else. I cheered my heart out at BMO when I went to see them nose past Van and Mtl. I cried when they lost in Van.

But holy fuck, if you think we're going to beat Montreal by four or more, you're asking for A LOT. Just sayin'.

:out:

[trane]

Are you trying to stir shit up, seriously my blood boild the moment I so this thread. For fuck sakes, lets beat montreal by a 4 goal differential before we talk about this again.
