MLS Mid-season Report Card from ESPN FC

TFC gets a B. Hard to argue with that. Obviously not near the level the early hype put us at but imo it will be more difficult for DCU to maintain their grade through the balance of the season than TFC theirs.

Good find. I like Montreal's scorecard g:D:


Montreal Impact: F

Little was expected of a side that did practically nothing to bolster its roster in the offseason, but the Impact have woefully underperformed even by those forgiving standards. The defense has been a shambles, with only Houston worse defensively, while the Impact's scoring average of one goal per game ranks last. Rather than blame coach Frank Klopas, owner Joey Saputo did the right thing and axed sporting director -- and brother-in-law -- Nick De Santis. Now it's up to Klopas to rebuild a roster that is in dire need of an upgrade at every position save forward.
