Ummm there are some games that could be fixed. But a 6-1 outcome? I mean shit. Its not like we converted all our chances either. We just ran circles around them. And Montreals got a much more REAL rivalry with vancouver (given they play in the league together, and have for years). Why would they possibly go out of their way to help them?

Conspiracy theorists need to look at Montreal's keeper coming out waaaaaay of his line to pressure his boys and score the spoiler....

and that Placindido dude wanted to fight Guevara... and spoil our victory.... you can't fix that...

But logic says that they'd rather see anyone but Toronto to win.

I agree. But thats not a bribe or anything, thats a team taking a dive to spite another team. Happens all the time in sports

Also: I swear by the score. I DESPISE tsn and sportsnet. BUT, the ONLY person I instantly change off of if I see them, is this asshole. Something about him just really rubs me the wrong way (insert gay joke 74 here). I have him ranked on a level with whats his name from OTR. And I HAAAATTTEEE that asshat with a fiery passion

Morency is the man, he's a shock jock. He has great insight to sports, his show is the best 5 o'clock radio show in Toronto. They actually cover sports, not what kind of underwear Jeff Finger is wearing in the middle of July.

did Santos bribe montreal to collapse in the Champions League? hahahah

No, I thought the conspiracy was that Montreal and Vancouver traded sweeps of each other to keep TFC out. All Montreal had to do to keep its end of te bargain was NOT LOSE BY FOUR! Which would have seemed safe enough for the bookies.....

Seriously, if Toronto sports teams could fix something, this wouldn't be it.

I say this as a big fan, but *cough* *cough* ARGOS *cough* *cough*

Also, I have to say, that girl who reffed the majority of these games I thought did very well. MUCH better than almost every mls ref I've seen

Years ago...I convinced my son that a cap was an IQ meter.... Forward was highest and sideways was lowest. Backwards was middle of the pack.

He definitely avoided sideways.:D

the secret deal is...the Impact let TFC win 6-1 and in the winter the leafs must let the Canadians win 6-1 so he can collect on proline!!

hahaha fixed? morency is shock, just trying to keep his show on the airwaves.

if it was fixed, those were some nice goals, dero scissors, guevara freekick would have been easier/looked much less fixed to just let 4 in instead of having montreal score first lol

Definitely fixed... thats why they let Montreal get the first penalty shot :S How do idiots like this get jobs.

Is it possible it was fixed?

Yeah, sure it is. Read "The Fix" about corruption in football and just look to the Italian Serie A for recent examples.

Was it fixed?

If it was, it was very well done. As pointed above, giving Montreal the first and only penalty kick is a curious way to go about handing the match to Toronto.

If the ultimate desired result was having Toronto advance as part of a bigger conspiracy within the CSA to showcase it's better talent, it would have been a curious decision to have Toronto lose 2-0 to Vancouver when all that was needed was a draw.

So, no, it wasn't fixed.

There saying it's fixed. Those little weasles were WASTING TIME when they were losing 4-1, on breaks in the action. It pissed me off that, because they had no vested interest in the score line, they wanted to win for pride...not by a set score. They also started bringing in their rested players at the end to stop the rush. What they did was the opposite of fixing for us - if anything, they went out of their way during the game to ensure they spoiled.

he's irrelevant.
he's from MTL.
his ratings are just brutal.
he's gone after other popular toronto things just to get attention.

he's a loser.

He's hit and miss for me. Somedays he's on his game other times he's just annoying. He's a huge gambler so he probably took the Impact or an under on the over/under. Plus he's from MTL.

read the book "the Fix" and you can see how this game could have been fixed. I didn't see what the odds were for Toronto to win by 4 but I'm sure there was a good pay out if they did. There only needs to be 3 or 4 players in on the fix not the whole team.

zeelaw

Here is why its not fixed
-No where near enough money involved.
-There was never any decisions that the referee could of flip-flopped on. In fact, she gave away a clear-cut penalty to Montreal

Those two are the most obvious.

He thinks it was fixed for the same reason I can't believe we won 6-1.

B/c TFC gave us no evidence they were capable of winning by 4 goals or more.

The difference between this moron and me is one thing - I don't
care!

EDIT: I also don't wear my hats sideways

I was part of game fixing once in my life as a rep player. We were in a tournament and a team we had beat 16-0 (terrible team) somehow was going to make it into the semi-finals (and play us again) unless we lost to the other team. So in this case, we let the team win for the good of the game. The last thing we wanted was another 16-0 rump in the semi-finals, we wantd a challenge.

I can tell you this, nobody new we fixed the game, not even the team we played against. The other team was really happy to win 3-0. We played all our players, we just simply gave them a few opportunities to score some goals (such as foul them around the box) or not close him in when they took a shot. They scored some nice goals too.

So while I don't think this game was fixed, the reasons some of you are using are just funny. Fixed games are about the outcome, not how it happens. If the game was fixed, and Guevara misses the free kick, then it would just happen that next shot on net probably goes in somehow.

Again though, I don't believe this game was fixed as in Toronto payed Montreal. I do however believe that the Montreal players on the field didn't give it all they had. That became pretty obvious to me when I saw them play against Vancouver. Why they didn't? well, either they didn't want to exert themselves because they were playing 2 days later or they simply hate Vancouver that much.

Yeah, that was the key. The Montreal coach wasn't trying to throw the game, he was trying to do the least amount necessary to accomplish their goal (which was probably not being blown out). It's done in football all the time. Do you play your best players, when your second stringers need time, and could probably get the job done? It's a gamble, but a necessary one.

The coach probably just figured (rightfully so when looking at how TFC has played, and finished) that he could play a good, but not great, side and get away with a loss by 1 or two goals. That wouldn't effect anything, wouldn't embaress the team, and would allow him to save some of his best players to play against Vancouver. Then, when TFC started pouring it on strong, he started subbing in his starters (beginning of second half) to try to hold back the TFC attack. It didn't work. The coach made a tactical error for sure, but he certainly wasn't trying to give TFC the tournement.
