beating Pachuca?

beating Pachuca?

yep, that's all.

[Northern Soul]

It'd be much better without that big wooden base on it.

[Red CB Toronto]

That is a nice cup, now lets have the Reds go out and win it

According to the picture of the engraving...it looks like we already have! Unless this is the equivalent of making up Pittsburgh Penguins 2008 Stanley Cup Champion hats :).

[pepher]

i'm guessing that the carlesburg cup will always be TFC vs. someone. will it be Pachuca every year or is the Carlsberg Cup a.k.a. The First TFC Friendly Of The Season Cup, going to the winner of, you guessed it, the first TFC friendly?

[Fort York Redcoat]

Come-ON!!!

a friendly trophy?

Let's just skip to the point where we play for the Toronto FC trophy every week.

But still...I am thirsty all of a sudden...

[CanadaLFC]

first chance of silverware for us LOL

[Kickit09]

That’s an awfully big trophy for a friendly game that means nothing... are they giving out participation ribbons to the losers too?

[Marco2K]

I have a feeling we are gonna get smoked tommorow

Have you seen BASEketball? We need those "Championship Losers" shirts and hats.

[Toronto_Bhoy]

I wasn't aware there was a Lord Carlsberg?

The wooden base makes it look like the poor man's Stanley Cup…

Thank you... ANOTHER Paul & Cesar gong show... this is getting embarrassing...

[Torcida]

What a joke. The supporters Cup has more prestige than this, imo. Even if it was won by those ringers.

[Cambridge_Red]

What the ?? hope thats a lid on top you can sip a frosty carlsberg out of it! :D

[werewolf]

hope we are not expected to celebrate if we win this garbage (anymore then the game itself, that is)

[sully]

this is in fact a joke? It's got to be...that's depressing if it isn't. Let's look at this..they are trying to sign players in their 30s...we play on a plastic field...beer is a rip-off..friendlies in the middle of the season...and now this! Are we headed for disaster? sometimes I think of TFC and Wynne redeems it for me..
rant over

[Cambridge_Red]

It's all Mo's fault :D don't go if you think it's a disaster.

[ilikemusic]

Im sure MLSinToronto will be along soon to tell us that this cup was contractually mandated to the team by MLS or Carlsberg or Sepp Blatter and that if they had any control over it they wouldnt have created it. :rolleyes:

[Keystone FC]

It kind of reminds me of a trophy that would be in the CHL system.

I wounder what the Trillium Cup will look like?

[zeelaw]

yep, that's all.

so is this just an annual thing or a pathetic attempt for us to get silverware

[NF-FC]

i feel bad for the players. are they supposed to celebrate winning this thing? this is way too awkward, we don't need any pity trophies

[sully]

so is this just an annual thing or a pathetic attempt for us to get silverware

it's embarrasing

[Red CB Toronto]

I just want them to win a cup, lol
