Canadian pride versus MLS success

Nigel Reed

It's not the biggest or the newest soccer stadium in Canada. Far from it. But its setting must be among the most picturesque in the country.
Occupying the North West corner of Central Park, surrounded on three sides by imposing fir trees and offering striking views of the mountains of North Vancouver, the outlook from the broadcast booth at Swangard Stadium remains one of my abiding memories of the 2008 season.
It was a quick turn round on a warm summer's evening in Burnaby, B.C., just long enough to cover the latest game in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship – the three-cornered contest between the Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps to determine the national champions.

Impact prep for hostile Mexican fans
THE CANADIAN PRESS

A huge throng at Olympic Stadium was a friend to the Montreal Impact when they won the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final, but a smaller, hostile crowd awaits for the return match.

The Impact harnessed the energy of 55,571 supporters last week for a 2-0 victory in the first match of a two-game, total goals series with Santos Laguna. That gave them a commanding two-goal lead going into the second leg on Thursday night in Torreon, Mexico.

She's going to hold onto this for the rest of her life. On her wedding day she's going to show a montage photo presentation of her life before she hit 300 lbs.

Houston falls to Atlante:

http://houston.mlsnet.com/news/team_....jsp&team=t200

Without DeRo their club is significantly worse (and TFC is significantly better).

So, if MTL wins, they will play Atlante in the semis.

The Sanyang "dream come true" slant cracks me up....

"Growing up in Banjul, I always thought there might be an opportunity for me to play 8,000 miles away in a city I've never heard of, in a league I've never heard of, in a country that I've barely heard of".

**C.Ronaldo** · 03-04-2009, 09:33 AM

Dude, most of these guys first dreams (before they know they want to play football for a living) is to live in a first world country. Secondly, playing professional football while living in such a country is a hell of a dream come true for many of these guys. Believe me, Canada fulfills these guys dreams in many ways.

CFL grants Ottawa expansion franchise a six-month extension

The Canadian Press
3/3/2009 7:01:20 PM

HAMILTON - The CFL's board of governors gave the group looking to bring pro football back to Ottawa more time to secure a deal with the city on a new stadium.
CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said Tuesday the board gave the Ottawa group until Sept. 18 to complete negotiations with the City of Ottawa on a stadium deal. In March 2008, Cohon awarded Ottawa 67's owner Jeff Hunt and local businessmen Bill Shenkman, Roger Greenberg and John Ruddy an expansion franchise on the condition it secure a place to play.

"The CFL-MLS stadium debate in Ottawa has prompted some verbal jousting, with Melnyk saying a CFL franchise might not remain in Ottawa 25 years from now. There were also suggestions it would take as many as six Grey Cup games to draw the $50-million this year's world junior championship event drew in Ottawa or the estimated $50-$60 million annually an MLS team would bring to the city's economy."

I'd be interested in how they arrived at those numbers...
