DC gets absolutely smacked around in Costa Rica 5-2. Late goal is killer...Losing 4-2 on the road at least seemed do-able for them back at home in the 2nd leg.

If you are implying that the champion automatically qualifies for the following CL that is not the case, so no the caps cannot be forced out.

If the result holds in the second leg it will be the first time Mexico would not have a team in the Finals let alone being the first time a Mexican side doesn't win.

I mean it is Montreal they fact they made it this far is ridiculous. (though positive) The fact I doubt more then 25,000 will be at the Big O tomorrow is worse. Though a Canadian Side Winning it would be crazy.

Likely more will be there.. but I doubt it.. just because it's Montreal and they suck. it's not based in any sort of factual reality.

They've announced 30,000 tickets sold on twitter. Historically, their walk up is big for games like this. I'd expect 34,000 which is a very healthy number.

Well there may be no Mexican team in the final.. so Montreal might be the team that needs to win the whole thing. Which will be a huge embarrassment to Liga MX

HOneestly though I kinda want Montreal to make it to the Club World Cup, 500,000 would help with advertising and promoting the team, even after the players get a cut.

It's not just Nelson, but whole TFC management and even some fans willing to sacrifice V-Cup/CCL for playoffs.

I wish people understand being a Canadian club playing in American league and winning their championship isn't more important than winning region championship. They both should be valued equally for Canadian clubs.

"Other supporters" is different from "Rival supporters".
This is how rivalries are fuelled.

WIN a league game on the day is noise. (Because you can get them next game or next year)
WIN a continental trophy is glory, praise, and world recognition. (Qualification for the next tournament is not guaranteed)

Currently Yes, because they have way more league, cup, and European championships than city does, so all in all that club is better.

As previously stated, when people start treating Nottingham Forest as a bigger and better team then Man City, then I'll believe this means anything close to "forever".

I don't need praise and or cringing in woe at our success by others to support TFC.

And, although I could quote you quite a few people who support other rivals who are happy to see their big rival win on the big stage, no, I don't care about how rivalries are done in other countries. I support TFC cause I support TFC. I don't need loathing of the Impact in all aspects to do that.

You know I was not intending for it to be that way.......but I guess you're right lol.

all I'm saying is there is no reason to support them. There only Canadian team by name, as no one in their starting xi was Canadian. I get it if your wife/gf/bf/family member supports them....that happens.

I just cant understand supporting them to win it, especially when you have no ties to the club.

it was cool when they were in D2 in the semi finals (playing with Canadian content) but now.....I just don't get it.

Well, Montreal is a Canadian club playing in the MLS, so I'm cheering for a Canadian MLS club playing against a Costa Rican club.

As for not common, a person I know who is an ex-pat was cheering for Tottenham when they were playing against a German club.
I know he is a die hard Arsenal supporter so I asked him why he was supporting a rival, his reply was simply that they were playing against a German club.

Instead of being arrogant, why don't you assume that he was making a point you didn't understand, rather than that his point was ludicrous? Of course he wasn't comparing them as rivals, which is how you read it; he was saying that Nottingham Forrest has won Europe, and yet is not remembered as being better than Man City. So Montreal, by extension, won't necessarily be remembered forever as better than TFC.

Jesus. Take a second and think about what he's saying before you "help him out".

It seems obvious to me. I'd cheer for any Canadian team when playing against Mexico or Central America.

One thing I've seen is that solid defence work is they key to winning continental football in CONCACAF. That's why Preki did so well in the CCL with TFC.

Just speaking for myself, personally. I am not in the camp that wants to see Montreal do well, in anything. The rivalry is there for a reason. The only thing I hope the team achieves is being able to stick around in Montreal for the long-term, as it gives us our only natural rivalry.

I couldn't bear even the thought of them being CCL champions, it something they will hang over our heads. With that in mind, I hope they crash and burn in the 2nd leg.

On an even more micro scale you could look at it as CMNT players (at the very least Bernier and Tissot who seem to be the only ones getting minutes) vs. typical CONCACAF opponents that always seem to beat us.

If there is anything legitimate to cheer for, its for the success of regular/future national team members in the sorts of environments that we tend to struggle in come qualifying. And those members happen to be on Montreal and not Alajuelense.

Montreal is on a run so I'm interested. When they lose, no longer interested.

Nope. It's right in the culture of sport here in Canada.

All one has to do is listen to "playoff talk". Especially hockey. Team A is out so I'm "cheering", "rooting" for Team B because they are Canadian, have the most Canadians on said team or just has A favourite Canadian on it.

I've done it and then wondered why. Not a real big interest and if its ones rivals for the rest of the season, why is it ok in the playoffs?

To clear this up for people who can't separate the two: people aren't cheering for the Montreal Impact. They're cheering for a) an MLS team to finally win CCL, especially a weak one; and/or b) a Canadian team to win.

But even those of us excited by that prospect know we'll be disgusted if they actually hoist the thing. It'll be good for MLS and good for Canadian soccer... but it will suck enormous hairy donkey balls, no doubt. It would be sweet, however, if they win and then we sweep them this year.

I prefer TFC be the first Canadian club, or the first MLS Club. If its not us, I definitely don't want it to be the Whitecaps or the impact. I'll cheer for the Galaxy and the Sounders in the next installment of this tournament.

MTL has nothing to do with Canadian soccer, for the mere fact that Canadians don't play or barely play on this team. They represent their city more than the nation.

If the Montreal impact and FC dallas are in the 2015 MLS Cup final... Who are you "rooting" for?

Dallas - no way I would want our rivals to win it. Having said that, I'd probably cheer for Dallas over just about any team in the East.

Ok, so how do you explain a Liverpool supporter cheering on Everton in the Europa cup match today against Dynamo Kiev?
Talked to him in my local just now.
He told me as long as it doesn't affect his team in the standings, he will always cheer for the English team even though they are a rival.

Maybe it's us who have to grow up.

I just don't understand how you can want your biggest rivals to win. What's the point of rivalry then?

LOL, exactly.

To clear this up for people who can't separate the two: people aren't cheering for the Montreal Impact. They're cheering for a) an MLS team to finally win CCL, especially a weak one; and/or b) a Canadian team to win.

But even those of us excited by that prospect know we'll be disgusted if they actually hoist the thing. It'll be good for MLS and good for Canadian soccer... but it will suck enormous hairy donkey balls, no doubt. It would be sweet, however, if they win and then we sweep them this year.

Yeah, it would be a feel-good story for a MLS team to win it. That's why I want us to be the first. :)

Most of the Liverpool supporters I know (and I know many) wouldn't.

Having said that, there is a level of mutual respect that exists in that rivalry that doesn't in others. Perhaps because loyalties often cut across family lines more than most. So I can certainly see it happening.

From a stand point of how the world views the MLS, I am 100% supporting MTL on their run and hope they lift the CL Trophy.

I would love to see one day more than one Canadian team competing in the CONCACAF Champions league, and the only way this will happen is if Canadian teams are competitive in the MLS and in contentential competitions (and winning a few along the way). I'm also assuming that there is a similar system to what they have in Europe which caused Serie A to only have 3 UEFA CL spots by performing poorly in Europe. All in saying is Canadian teams winning can only help this.

I'm thinking about the growth and reputation of soccer in Canada, to me rivalries come second to that at the moment.

True, it won't get resolved here, and it is kind of a pointless argument for that reason. Ultimately, people should be able to cheer for who they want, for the reasons they want. It's a free country.

Heck, even I cheered for Montreal in the last round. But I really don't want them to go any further. I want us to be ones to say we were the first MLS club to win a CCL, and screw all the rest.

I just think there's a lot of incredulity though that on a Toronto FC supporters board, so many people seemingly wouldn't mind seeing our rivals revel in glory.

Unfortunately, as far as we know, there is no actual coefficient system that determines how many teams are entered per country nor is there one determining which teams are seeded. This is why a team like Orlando City could get a better seeding than TFC or MTL despite not having any past CCL record.

Well it is much more about national success. Panama as since the CONCACAF CL has only made it to the Quarter Finals Twice and never further. They are a Pot A Nation. Canada on the other hand, has made it 3 times, twice to the Semis. Two other years the Team that eliminated the Canadian Team from the Groups were a team that went to the finals. Teams from Panama are regularly at the bottom of the group table. Canadian team is rarely at the bottom even in the three team groups.

Canada isn't going to get a second berth with fewer than 8-12 teams in the Canadian Championship.


However Canadian teams doing well is good for Soccer in Canada. 55,000 at Rogers, 60,000 in Montreal.

If Montreal goes to the final I can't see the Big O not being packed again. Heck I might go..

My great uncle in the North of England, who is in his 80's, is a life long Liverpool supporter (poor fellow) - he was cheering for Everton today. I suspect most of his Liverpool supporting friends were as well. I also know more than a few older United fans that were cheering for City to do well in the CL.

Cheering for English teams in Europe is still pretty commonplace over in England, it was a lot more so a 10-15 years ago (although not across the big rivalries - except with the older generation)

Why? Because my love of Canadian soccer is deeper than my dislike of the Impact. And I have long held the opinion that the increased popularity of the domestic game is one of the keys to increasing the quality of our player pool.

I'll always remember something I was told by an elementary school teacher in the first or second year of TFC's existence. She said that her kids would always show up in Leafs gear talking about how they wanted to play hockey. TFC came along, and the kids started showing up in Dichio jersey's talking about playing for TFC.

That's why I want to see the Impact do well, and pack the Big O. Because in that crowd might be some 8 year old kid that decides he wants to be a footballer and play the game in this country.

Yeah, I can see that definitely being the case 15-20 years ago when there was perhaps more of an "us vs. them" mentality in football. Nowadays, I'd have a hard time believing, especially amongst the younger generation, that your average Arsenal supporter would be cheering for the likes of Chelsea or Man United to do well in Europe. And I'll readily concede that most of the older LFC supporters I know would have absolutely no issue cheering for Everton (and vice-versa).

My modo is to never let hate go past sport. :) However I do understand TFC fans who would have preferred being first team to win CCL - totally normal. In any case, Mtl still far from winning the thing must not choke in Costa Rica.

Very well put Brad. This "rivalry" is a figment of the imagination. We're within a 5 hr drive so we have to hate them? Sure they have an annoying handful of fans but im sure its not the majority. Even if you decide they are a rival then the point is to beat them t the top not for them to fight you in the sewers determining who doesn't finish last in the East.

Wouldn't it be much better for Canadian soccer and MLS soccer if a team makes its way to the World Club Championship? TFC could easily have been in this position if management had given a c#$@ about the V cup last year. Instead they aimed for a wild card playoff spot because fans only care about playoffs.

This should be a wake up call to management to not tank the CCL which has been the protocol post Winter.

I was cheering for RSL in 2009, mind you that was easy because they are not a rival, plus they were an MLS underdog who overachieved in Mexico.

What would be harder for me would be the Krew, a rival and not Canadian.

Of course I would love TFC to be the ones there, but I don't believe it's a priority for this club. I blame the media and the fanbase, TFC is just responding to market pressure to make the league the only goal for now.

A good game. Like most things, this isn't a simple binary discussion.


Montreal because they are Canadian not American.


Dallas, because they are not Montreal

Fantastic diverse examples given almost immediately.

To each their own is the answer.

Myself, I separate club and country. Once Toronto exits a tourney I'm not supporting anyone. My interest lies in the industry shown in the game. I would still hate to see our biggest (only IMO) rivals win anything.

I don't feel the need to support any other club for my country. I do that at international matches. There are several Canada games a year.

I think Canadian teams winning could change this. If, lets say, MTL wins the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL), and TFC qualifies for the CCL, then I think CONCACAF will have consider allowing MTL into the competition due to them being the champions of the region. I think it will only be beneficial for Canadian soccer and the MLS if MTL wins the CCL.

In addition, if Canadian teams are constantly doing better than American teams in the league (used to happen all the time in the USL), it also will put more emphasis on the quality of Canadian clubs and CONCACAF will be forced to look at changing things to allow the best clubs in the region into their competition. Not to mention, I think TFC and MTL have some of the highest attendances EVER for a CCL match (I think MTL had the record a few years back). All I'm hoping for is by MTL winning, it starts a ripple effect allowing two Canadian teams to qualify into the CCL. Ideally, there should be a qualifying spot for winning the Canada Cup, and a qualifying spot if a Canadian team seeds high enough in the MLS, therefore taking away a spot from an American team (or having both in). I'm not sure of the correct solution, but I think MTL winning will start these conversations.

I understand your point, but since I'm part of IMFC fan base, I know what I'm talking about. In any case, don't get me wrong, it's only in similar situation (Toronto was team representing Canada in CCL back then), otherwise Toronto is hated unanimously - as IMFC is unanimously hated here outside CCL.

No Montreal will not get a automatic berth... no team gets an automatic berth based on the previous years performance. It is purely based on Domestic Cup Performance. MLS, US Open Cup in the states. Canadian Championship in Canada, Liga MX in Mexico, etc. That won't change.

The Number of teams qualifying has much more to do with strength and number of clubs. Panama has two berths they don't do really well... but they have 5 teams.


Remember the Change to the Champions League was officially to have fewer games. The reality is it was to help American teams actually get to the Quarter Finals more often and stop the embarrassment of one team constantly being eliminated in the "preliminary round" CONCACAF like FIFA has long since stopped being about sport and is now about money.

Even with that, the odds of Two Canadian Berths where both Berths would likely go to MLS teams would not look good. MLS would then have 6 Teams in the Champions League to Mexico's One. Even though it is 2 Canadian and 4 American sides the optics to everyone else would look bad, I would guess.


So no without a Domestic Cup of at least 10 teams I can not see CONCACAF even considering a second Canadian berth. And No Montreal nor any Champions League winner gets an automatic berth into the Champions League. The Winner of the Champions League gets a berth in the Club World Cup which has 7 teams competing, with basically a cash prize for each team. $500,000 minimum. Every Team has to qualify every year. Just like any other league. The MLS Cup Winner isn't given an automatic berth into the MLS Playoffs.

Yes it did come up. Not to the same extent as this discussion but I definitely remember people questioning the support for RSL.

And yes I supported/cheered for RSL when they made their run.

Also, RSL supporters and MLS in general supported TFC when they made their runs deep into the tournament.

I find this debate kind of funny, as I have different answers depending on the sport.

For hockey, no way. I am driven bonkers by people suggesting to cheer for "Canadian teams" when the Flames are out. I don't care if a Canadian team ever wins the cup again, unless it's the Flames (sorry Leafs fans... I'll see myself out shortly).

For soccer, it's totally different. The league is just coming into it's own, and growth of the game within Canada is something I really value. To have a Canadian team do well in the CCL holds a lot of value for me, even though I'll cheer against the Impact and Whitecaps in every league game they ever play. Anything that goes to growing the sport in Canada and giving us a chance at a WC berth one day, I'm in!

A bit harsh banning the Impact supporter. I found that candidness to be refreshing and it's not like there were any personal insults on there.

Not that this should be any surprise but many of us on here share the exact same sentiment, just with different colours.

No surprise. I'd expect to be banned there immediately regardless my civility. It's trolling when you don't actually like the club on their supporters site.

It was refreshing he wasn't more disrespectful.

Oh, hello there. It's funny that you actually took the time to sign up just to post this little gem. This is about the same level of class as garbage bag banners and throwing seats at kids. Then again, we don't usually associate you clowns with anything resembling class.

Shouldn't you be rapping about signing Reo-Coker or something? Maybe he'll help you avoid finishing dead last in the entire league again. Adieu, mon ami.
I though "LOL" scrawled on the side of a garbage bag was about as real football factory as you can get. Danny Dyer was going to come report on that shit but it was just too crazy.

On another note, there's a non-MLS fan who sits next to me in the office who noted NRC was quite impressive in ccl. I was shocked, to say the least.

He's a very smart guy and once played semi pro in the Caribbean. I didn't see the game but I'm inclined to believe it's not stretching... But I'm surprised because I rarely saw him play a game in MLS where he was anything but average.

Bernie's wheels are done, but otherwise I do admire the guy. His first year in the league was sensational.

It would undoubtedly be better for the sport in Canada (exposure, casual interest etc) and for MLS to have Montreal win. This isn't like England where that's not an issue and it's all about club rivalry. Some people here are so desperate to mimic that and build a rivalry from scratch that they will cheer against the game's interests.

I wouldn't call it desperation. I genuinely don't enjoy the thought of them winning and can't feel any support for them. I'm not trying to mimic anyone, that's just how I feel. There's plenty of history in terms of a rivalry between Montreal and Toronto for those of us who were born and raised in this city, so it's not really built from scratch.

I think its sad that some feel they need to compare it to other places at all. There is enough fuel in this thread alone to see where the rivalry comes from. I'm sorry that some people need a hundred year old bench mark to allow themselves to feel authentic. The comparisons aren't like for like and don't need to be.

I don't see us borrowing from one place in the world. I also see different places in the world borrowing from other cultures. Sure it's easier to use NA as an example but I think it's a waste of time measuring who did what when.

I challenge anyone to dream up something they perceive as what is truly, uniquely, Canadian about our support. I look forward to it and any other fun ways to support worldwide.

It's fair game to say that the 'supporter culture' was mimicked from elsewhere, but it's laughable to suggest that the Toronto Montreal rivalry was manufactured in the last three/four seasons. The Toronto - Montreal rivalry is probably as old as any in sports. It's the continuation of the French - English rivalry that has existed here since European settlement of the country began.

The rivalry between our two teams is young, because one hasn't even existed for a decade, but the rivalry between Toronto and Montreal is not. There is nothing fake about it.

And the emotions are kind of the entire point of watching sports to begin with - not objectively stepping back and saying "what would be better to "grow the sport"?" You save that kind of stuff for when you're watching two teams you don't care about at all.

Fair points in response to my post.

However, as the Impact get deeper and deeper, I've realized.. I don't want them to win this before us. And, honestly, now that a Mexican team probably won't win it, I've fairly happy. Costa Rica is a team/country I don't particularly hate either as their tactics aren't Honduras or Panama-esq.

I'd hardly say the "same thing"... did you see the replay where a coin literally bounced off back of the Montreal keeper's head? Or the fact the linesmen were edging towards the pitch because of the amount of crap being thrown?

There is a big and growing bus attack problem that is probably FIFA's biggest worry right now. It happened to America in the first leg of the other semifinal, there was the Fenerbahce incident last week.

I did stay up to watch the game. It was very scary, as the Costa Ricans were always threatening to score but timely counter attacking goals by Montreal gave them relief until the next wave came. Great result for Montreal and MLS. Even Oduro looks good. Great cross for opening goal for Montreal.

I went to America vs. Cruz Azul last weekend, America were selling tickets for this match for less than $5, I knew the club was going to make a push to make a late run to the Club World Cup.

At least they go to Azteca in the first game.

considering how America ripped apart Herediano, and how poor Mtl looked against Alajuelense defensively, plus at Azteca, I just hope the score is close enough that 2nd leg actually matters, not just a formality

Montreal better park the bus at Azteca and hope for at least three for the home leg... yikes!

CCL is so bonkers, a 5-2 loss at Azteca would probably still leave Montreal with a chance. But, yeah, they are going to get killed in that atmosphere.

Hoping America destroys Montreal 7-0 in in the first leg and the sold out big O is half empty g:D

Well I've enjoyed Montreal's run but this will be a disaster. You'll get 60,000 in Montreal and probably 80,000 in Mexico making it easily the highest attended CCL final ever. However, I agree with the above post, this thing will be a formality by the second leg and Montreal will have 60,000 people show up to watch a trophy be handed over. Best case scenario Montreal loses 2-0 in Mexico but I can't see them not letting a goal in at home, so now we're talking 4 home goals. Nice try Montreal!
